Silixa Ltd is a UK-based technology company founded in 2007, specializing in distributed fibre optic sensing solutions. Headquartered in Elstree, Hertfordshire, it provides advanced systems for continuous, real-time monitoring of temperature, strain, acoustics, and vibration using fibre optic cables as sensors.
The company's offerings include distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), distributed temperature sensing (DTS), and integrated solutions like the Carina Sensing System, enabling high-resolution data in harsh environments. Applications span energy (including oil & gas well monitoring, hydraulic fracturing, production optimization, and carbon capture & storage), mining, defence, and industrial process monitoring, with suitability for petrochemical settings.
