Acoustics

CPACT Research Areas - Phase II
Research activity in CPACT is organised under four Themes that put emphasis on manufacturing processes where advances in process analysis and control will have significant benefits. There are also projects that go across Themes, as the technology involved is applicable in a variety of manufacturing plants and processes.
The Themes	Description
Monitoring of Chemical Processes
Robust Methods for Monitoring and Control of Solid Processes
Methodologies for Process Modelling, Optimisation and Model Portability
Real-time Monitoring and Control of Bioprocesses
Cross-thematic	Description
Acoustics A cross-thematic forum on acoustic techniques has been established to: Achieve greater understanding of passive acoustic signals from processes through use of advanced methods of signal processing / interpretation Investigate application of broad band passive acoustic measurements in solid and liquid systems, in comparison with on-line spectroscopic monitoring techniques Evaluate the potential of active acoustic spectrometry for process analysis
