SONAR BASE VF / GVF MEASUREMENT APPLICATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING

摘要

sonar-based vf / gvf measurement applications for industrial processing the present invention provides a new and unique processor module that has one or more modules configured to respond to one or more input signals containing information about a fluid flow rate with minerals and varying amounts of gas trapped in a tube and being processed in a processing stage of a mineral extraction processing system for extracting a mineral from the ore, and also configured to provide one or more output signals containing information about operations the processing step of the mineral extraction processing system that is not substantially affected by the varying amounts of gas trapped in the fluid flowing in the tube. o one or more output signals can be used to control the operations of the processing step. o one or more input signals can be based at least partially on a measurement of the speed of sound, including a measurement of trapped gas based on sonar to determine the amount of trapped air in conjunction with a measurement of the density of the fluid flowing in the pipe.
