A system for monitoring flow of fluid through a pipeline

A system (10) for monitoring flow of fluid through a pipeline (3), the system (10) comprising:

• a ferromagnetic strip (5) mounted on an outer surface of the pipeline (3), at one or more pre-determined locations;
• a solenoid coil (4) wound around the ferromagnetic strip (5) and is connectable to a power source;
• a plurality of magnets (6) positioned over the solenoid coil (4), wherein each of the plurality of magnets (6) are positioned at a pre-defined orientation with respect to longitudinal axis of the pipeline (3);
• and
• a processing unit (1) communicatively connected to the solenoid coil (4), wherein the processing unit (1) is configured to:
• generate a plurality of wave modes simultaneously in the pipeline (3) by supplying power to the solenoid coil (4) in concurrence with the plurality of magnets (6) and the ferromagnetic strip (5);
• receive a plurality of wave signals reflected from the pipeline (3) corresponding to the plurality of wave modes;
• and
• compare the received wave signals with pre-defined wave signals to monitor the flow of fluid through the pipeline (3).
