Multiphase Flow Research

Industrial flow processes

Non-intrusive electromagnetic imaging and measurement techniques such as Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT), are being used today to gain a better understanding of multiphase flows. Atout offers ECT systems for multiphase flow structure research.

APPLICATIONS
