Application

High Pressure Reactor

Objective

Measure conductivity profiles during Fischer-Tropsch reaction

Results

Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) and Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) sensors installed in a reactor rated to 350°C and 50 bar. Improved understanding of this critical process.

 

Application

Multi-phase flow

Objective

Characterisation of fluid dynamics in multi-phase flow and validation of liquid hold-up measurements by high speed video camera

Results

Dual-modality electrical tomography installed on an industrial flow loop. Results used to optimise mathematical models of hydraulic transportation processing leading to improved design and operation of such facilities.

Application

Continuous Reactors

Objective

Measurement of concentration profiles in an Oscillatory Baffled Reactor (OBR).

Results

Successful research project completed using ERT to measure the concentration profiles in an OBR to facilitate the development of a process model. An industrial client from the Biotech sector is now applying ERT to an OBR in a GMP environment.

Application

Food Processing

Objective

Measure the water and salt distribution during maturation of cheese.

Results

ECT was successfully used to measure cheese maturing over an 8 week period. Images below show a semi-mature and mature cheese.
