Abstract
Particulate process measurement presents challenges because it often involves multiphase flow. Due to its advantages over other tomography modalities, electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is widely applied in monitoring and measuring particulate processes. This paper presents a review on the application of ECT in particulate process measurement, including the monitoring of flow regime and solids distribution, solids flow velocity measurement, and fluidized bed dryers. The electrostatic phenomenon and the effect of electrostatics on the performance of ECT systems are also addressed. Finally, the challenges to ECT for particulate process measurement are given.
