What does a Tru-Grid™ Scan do? A Tru-Grid™ Scan of a packed distillation tower provides a density profile of the process inside the tower. The power of the technology is that the scan is done whilst the tower is operating so real-time information about how the tower is performing at that instant is obtained. The scan ‘sees through’ the vessel wall allowing determination of what is happening inside without the need to shut down. The scan produces a density profile of the ...
