ECVT technology has been extensively used in academics and research settings. Applications include visualization of flow in circulating fluidized beds (CFB), gas-solid turbulent fluidized beds, gas-solid riser flow, gas-liquid bubble column, gas-liquid-solid slurry bubble column, and trickle bed reactors. ECVT capacitance sensors, through their flexible design, were also used to image flow through side injections, entrance and exit regions, and bent sections.
ECVT reconstructed volume images are also being used to develop flow models, verify computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and discover new flow behaviors.
