The challenge & how we solve it

Problem: Process development, scale-up, and troubleshooting require a deep understanding of the flow inside industrial equipment. Yet obtaining experimental flow data is often impractical.

Building custom visualization rigs is capital-intensive, time-consuming, and specific to a single project. These experimental campaigns require specialized facilities, dedicated engineering resources, and highly skilled personnel. Most measurement techniques are further limited by vessel size, opaque fluids, or stainless-steel equipment, and typically provide only two-dimensional or localized measurements that fail to capture the complete three-dimensional flow structure.

As a result, engineering teams rely heavily on CFD to understand flow behavior. While CFD is an invaluable engineering tool, its predictive accuracy increasingly depends on the underlying physical models, constitutive equations, and closure correlations as system complexity increases. This is particularly true for multiphase processes, representing the majority of industrial applications, where rheology, solids loading, gas holdup, bubble size distribution, and other process variables evolve continuously during operation.

The result is longer development cycles, higher engineering costs, greater technical uncertainty, and limited engineering capacity, forcing organizations to prioritize only a small number of projects while delaying innovation and scale-up.

Fluidmapper eliminates the need for custom visualization equipment and simplified mock-up experiments. Because the platform uses gamma-ray particle tracking, measurements can be performed using the customer's actual process fluids and operating conditions, regardless of fluid opacity or vessel material. This enables engineers to obtain experimentally measured three-dimensional flow fields directly from their CAD geometry in days rather than months, dramatically reducing cost, technical burden, and development time while increasing confidence in engineering decisions.

Fluidmapper also manages the entire experimental workflow, from geometry preparation and tracer design to measurements, data processing, and engineering deliverables. Your engineers remain focused on innovation, customer projects, and solving process challenges while we deliver the experimental flow data and engineering insights. The result is greater engineering capacity, faster project execution, and the ability to tackle more projects without investing in specialized infrastructure or dedicated measurement expertise.
