Key Capabilities

Fit-for-purpose, verified, field-ready

Adjust pump rate; rates change up to 30% daily on solar-powered systems
Adjust volume based on changes in pump rate or production rates
Verify actual chemical injected: hourly, daily, weekly
Verify injection delivery through direct pump monitoring
Real-time tank levels

How It Works

The Mirador seamlessly integrates into your existing chemical program, enhancing it with real-time, automated control. It monitors and adjusts the pump rate and chemical volume based on live production data, ensuring optimal chemical injection at all times, with its intelligent controller. Mirador responds to changing conditions instantly, maintaining the effectiveness of your chemical treatments. This continuous calibration and verification of injection rates eliminates the risk of under- or over-treatment, protecting your assets and optimizing production.
