Abstract

The electrical tomography technology is a multi-phase flow detection technology. This technology has the advantages of non-radiation, non-invasive and visualization, can be widely used in traditional energy field and new energy field. The permittivity and conductivity, as the basic electrical parameters of material, are closely related to the distribution of material in multiphase flow. However, in the actual multiphase flow, due to the non-uniform distribution of permittivity and conductivity in time and space, the accuracy and validity of measuring instruments are challenged. The main target of this research is to investigate the application of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), electrical resistance tomography with voltage excitation (ERTv) and electrical resistance tomography with current excitation (ERTc) on the multiphase flow with complex permittivity and conductivity distribution. The final objective based on the above research is to provide suitable tomography modual for different multiphase flow process. The experimental results show that ECT is suitable for measuring dry gas-solid fluids. ERTv is better for measuring high water content gas-solid fluids and low conductivity gas-liquid fluids, while ERTc is better for measuring continuous phase conductivity gas-liquid fluids.
