Laboratory Void Sensor - VFS4300L
The void sensor is an ideal instrument to monitor the amount of gas bubbles presented in a liquid. to detect the volumetric fraction of gas phase, gas void fraction, at a point in liquid flow.
The void sensor instrument can be used for monitoring existence of gas bubbles, in a wide range of industries. It is capable of measuring in-situ gas void fraction in three-phase (gas-liquid-solids) flow reactors. The instrument is designed for use across a broad range of industries including chemical, wastewater treatment, food, and mining and minerals processing.
The instrument will enable gas-sparged reactors and floatation cells to be monitored and controlled on-line making it possible for operators to control and improve reaction process efficiency during the mixing process. Current operations rely on historic mixing patterns (these may not be fully efficient or vary between batch mixes) and are only monitored or checked when the process has been completed.
Applications
- Monitor gas bubbles distribution in reactors in the mineral processing industries, e.g. oxygen bubbles in gold leaching, air bubbles in mineral sands processing and places where gas sparging are used;
- Monitor air entrainment into the pipelines, tanks process plants, to avoid equipment foaming problems, pipe vibration and pump failure problems;
- Measure quantity of air bubbles used in food processing, e.g. ice cream production and many aerated food products.
- Monitor air bubbles in wastewater ponds, and tanks to provide insight into the performance of aeration;
