SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EARLY WARNING OF SOLIDS PLUGGAGE IN GAS-SOLID MULTI-PHASE FLOW THROUGH TRANSPORT PIPE

Abstract: a system and method for early warning of solids pluggage in a gas-solid multi-phase flow through transport pipe. at least one doppler radar-based mass flow sensor measures reflections of signals from solid particles that are carried in a gas transport stream by the transport pipe from a solid particles feed source to a solid particles processing location. a controller detects conditions in the gas transport stream carrying the solid particles in the transport pipe that are representative of an early warning of pluggage of solid particles in the pipe as a function of information provided by the at least one doppler radar-based mass flow sensor.
