Suspensions
Inline suspension analysis
See how the particle population changes in the actual medium.
The challenge
Sedimentation, agglomeration, breakage, and concentration shifts may occur between samples.
Sedimentation, agglomeration, breakage, and concentration shifts may occur between samples. Inline measurement provides a continuous trend.
Count and relative concentration
Agglomeration and breakage
Sedimentation and stability
Visual results
Particles observed without withdrawing a sample.
From objects to data
Continuous information that reveals change.
Size and distribution
Count and population
Shape and morphology
Real-time trends
Technology and application
SOPAT: inline imaging in suspensions.
Optics are selected for matrix, concentration, opacity, and expected range, with algorithms validated for product morphology.
Technical note: Quantitative results depend on contrast, optical path, concentration, and installation representativeness.
Technical questions
Frequently asked questions about this application.
Must the suspension be diluted?
Not for inline measurement; the configuration is selected for the actual medium.
Can it track agglomeration?
Size, shape, and population can reveal aggregate formation or breakage.
Does it work in opaque media?
It may with a suitable optical path and illumination; the application must be assessed.
