Abstract:

The Polish Research Team has developed a new tool for density measurements and control of solutions or slurries flowing inside pipes. On-line measurement of liquid density in coal preparation processes: heavy media density, density and concentration of thickener sludge from radial setting pond outflow, density of dust-air mixtures e.g. cement, coal, diatomaceous earth etc. They are looking for partners interested in joint venture, manufacturing agreement or commercial agreement.

Description:

Density isotope meter is a modern device designed mainly for measuring density and concentration of heavy media suspension. The construction allows using this device for control of technological processes. Radiation absorption of isotope Cs-137 is used in this device.

Innovative Aspects:
Continuous process stream analysis. Very low radiation level with a weak radioactivity source. Density or concentration measurement of liquid or suspended solids together with measurement of velocity of flow. Easy installation and calibration. Automatic correction for long term drifts and maintenance free. Outputs of electronic system adapted for use of densimeter in control and visualisation systems.

Main Advantages:
Operation infallibility, very low exploitation costs
