| Abstract | A Platform Grant is requested to underpin and develop an integrated set of eight research projects (equally allocated to Leeds and UMIST). Each project contains new key challenges, which should be solved to extend and widen the existing process tomography expertise. Existing know-how in electrical impedance and acoustic tomography will be combined to demonstrate smart sensing and triple-mode chemical reactor monitoring. New modalities aimed at chemical species tomography will be developed for near-IR, teraherz (so-called t-rays), and Gigaherz microwaves. These new sensitivities will enable process tomography to progress towards simultaneously monitoring length scales from molecules (nanometers) up to meters. Real-time process imaging in 3-D, use of images in control and surround-sensing of industrial processes will together transform our capabilities to run cleaner, more energy efficient and flexible manufacturing processes in the next decades. | |
