Lasentec FBRM and PVM instruments provide in-process, real-time, particle size and high solids concentration particle count.

FBRM:

  • Does not assume spherical particles.
  • Provides both the size distribution and count in each size range in 2-second intervals.
  • Enables monitoring of particle count in specific size regions (fines, coarse, etc.) to increase precision, sensitivity, and early warning to process dynamics.
  • Can be used to fingerprint batch endpoint based on particle size, shape, and count.

    PVM's high-resolution imaging at up to 50% solids provides a unique qualitative understanding of the process:

  • Where system sampling is difficult.
  • The process is not well understood.
  • Multiphase particle systems are under investigation.
  • In-depth shape analysis is required.

    FBRM and PVM models are available for:

  • Solid-in-liquid, liquid-in-liquid, and solid-in-gas systems.
  • Particle sizes from 0.5 µm to 2.5 mm.
  • Hazardous environments.
  • Most process temperatures, pressures, and chemical compatibilities.
