Virtual Centre for Industrial Process Tomography (VCIPT) 

The primary aim of the VCIPT is to advance the field of industrial process tomography to best meet the long-term needs of its participants.

This new technology allows chemical process manufacturers, for example, to estimate the spatial distribution of phases and chemicals inside their processing vessels or pipelines. Striking augmented-reality 3-D images can be reconstructed from non-invasive peripheral sensing.

To deliver on this aim, the VCIPT integrates a wide range of research skills (including computing, electronics, mathematics, physics, process engineering and particle science).

These are interfaced with process users from sectors as diverse as food, minerals, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.

The Centre consists of a team of academics from Leeds University and The University of Manchester together with industrial member companies. It was initially established in 1996 with funding from the UK Government's Foresight Challenge Projects and industrial consortium members. Their website contains information about the VCIPT, the industrial consortium members and the various activities currently underway.

The VCIPT's operational objectives are to:

* manage pre-competitive research between academics and industry
* transfer technology to apply research
* ensure continuity of world-leading research in on-line sensors
* raise awareness of industrial process tomography potential
* maintain funding for a visible international presence and critical mass of expertise
* foster international linkages
