R&D
The Multi-Phase Flow Meter 4R&D is a system for analyzing multi-phase flows in a Research and Development application where more information is required than simple mass flow measurements. The 4R&D provides you with a unique look into your process in real time. Using only our non-invasive capacitance sensors, our state of the art Data Acquisition System, and our proprietary analytics software, you’ll be able to measure precise volume fraction measurements, velocities, and phase distributions for nearly any 2 phase flow and even select 3 phase flows.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
– Cross-Section Imaging
– 3D Model Reconstruction

– Sensors can be fabricated to warp or fit around odd shapes such as cones or elbows
– Easy clamp on installment for non-conductive process tubes
– Safe and radiation free unlike x-ray and microwave technologies
– Customizable to meet the unique specific applications and process flows
Featured Application
Fluidized Beds and CFBs
When using a fluidized bed reactor, it is important to design the reactor to promote fluid movement optimal for your specific reaction. Using the 4R&D system on your fluidized bed can help you track-
- Solids concentration distribution
- Bubble diameter
- Bubble frequency
- Bubble coalescence and break up
Insight gained from quantitative ECVT data can lead researchers to achieve –
- Better gas-solid mixing
- Lower gas bypassing
- Validation of CFD models
- General improved performance of fluidized beds and circulating fluidized beds (CFBs)
