"Tomographic imaging provides feedback for improved operation"
Dr D.M. Scott, DuPont

The VCIPT is pleased to present an Introduction to Process Tomography

Monday 25th February 2008 at the University of Manchester.

The UK leads the world in the new field of process tomography, a technology that allows users to see spatial variations in their processes.

The key outputs of process tomography instrumentation are:

more reliable detection of process end points

new process information

With benefits to users through

lower production costs through increased efficiencies and better yields

more efficient process development

The meeting will cover presentations from:

leading industrial users

leading technology suppliers

leading academics in the field

There will also be a number of live demonstrations of process tomography in action and an opportunity to tour the University's pilot tomography facilities after the meeting.

The programme will address:

 What is process tomography?
 Where and how it is being used

Welcome & introduction to Virtual Centre of Industrial Process Tomography
Professor Hugh McCann, University of Manchester

Research strengths of VCIPT, case studies and future vision
Professor Trevor York, Professor Brian Hoyle, Universities of Manchester and Leeds

Capabilities of current commercial systems
Mr Ken Primrose, Industrial Tomography Systems plc

How tomography is helping us
