“Overall it has been demonstrated that the ERT [electrical resistance tomography] system can provide very valuable information for the monitoring and control of multiphase processes”

Dr F.X. Ricard, GlaxoSmithKline

“Tomographic imaging provides feedback for improved operation”

Dr D.M. Scott, Du Pont

“Tomography is one of the few tools that gives information about what is actually happening inside”

The Chemical Engineer

 

Uses & Benefits

The UK leads the world in the new field of process tomography, a technology that allows users to see spatial variations in their processes. The key outputs of process tomography instrumentation are:

• more reliable detection of process end points
• new process information

With benefits to users of:

• lower production costs through increased efficiencies and better yields
• more efficient process development

The new Super-sensing Consortium seeks to continue this development path to deliver further powerful benefits from these foundations.
