Application: Flow

Applications:

  • Lab/Pilot/Production
  • Research/Process Monitoring
  • Process Development

Benefits include:

  • Determine flow conditions
  • Monitor phase inversion
  • Investigates flow rates of multi-component flow

This shows the conductivity image from a single measurement plane for hydraulic conveying. The usual colour scale blue-green-red with low conductivity as blue and high conductivity as red. The non-conducting solids are towards the bottom of the pipe as indicating the blue colouring. Water dominates at the top of the pipe as indicated by the red colouring. 

Process Tomography can be used to:

Measure Multi-phase flow

The three phase detection of air / water / oil with ITS m3000 multi-modal system

Dual Modality Sensor

The above shows:

  • ERT data (water at pixel height 1-4 out of 20) = 2cm (2.5cm actual)
  • ECT data (oil-water phase at pixel height 1-19 out 32) = 6cm (6.5cm actual)

Solids Concentration Profiles

Reconstructed volume fraction distributions at the downstream position L/D=3.0 with different concentration set-ups of and a fixed flow rate of 1.0m/s. The images were reconstructed using Sensitivity Conjugate Gradients algorithm.
