DUAL ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRICAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE FOR THE TOMOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF MULTIPHASE FLOWS IN PIPES AND/OR LIQUID/FROTH INTERFACES IN PROCESS TANKS

摘要

Apparatus is provided featuring a signal processor or processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about at least two sensing modalities sensed by a single probe arranged in relation to a multiphase flow or process volume; and determine using a multiple modality tomographic analysis technique information about different fluid layers in the multiphase flow or process volume, based at least partly on the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module may be configured to provide corresponding signaling containing corresponding information about different fluid layers in the multiphase flow or process volume.
