Promis Multi Frequency EM System

Promis

The Promis is a modern implementation of the Slingram technique which uses a coil to produce a primary magnetic field, this is linked by a cable to a receiver sensor at distances between 20 and 200m. The receiver coil measures 3 in-phase components and one out of phase component of the secondary magnetic field induced by ground conductors. Traditional Slingram type techniques only measure the vertical component of the magnetic field, but by measurement of the two additional horizontal components the Promis is able to give information on the strike of any conductive structure that has been intercepted. Penetration depths are determined both by Tx-Rx coil separation and frequency recorded but a rule of thumb is penetration is approximately 1/2 of the inter-coil separation.

3 Component EM system for sounding and profiling:
  • 10 frequencies
  • Transmitter Receiver spacing from 20m to 200m (400m, optional)
  • Measurement of 3 Magnetic field components; Hz, Hx and Hy
  • Simple operation
Applications:

Mapping conductive dykes and mineral veins.
Fracture zones for ground water exploration.
