A DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE PRESENCE, ONSET AND EVOLUTION OF PARTICULATES IN CHEMICALLY OR PHYSICALLY REACTING SYSTEMS

摘要

A device for monitoring particulates includes a means for correlating measurements of pressure across at least one filter, flow rate of a sample through the filter, or a combination thereof to the properties of particulates in a solution. More particularly, the device can be used for monitoring particulates in a reacting system to provide signals to the user or control input to the reacting system to alter the course of the reaction according to a desired path.
