DESCRIPTION:Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is an electrical\nimag
 ing modality that can be used to estimate electrical properties\ninside di
 fferent processing vessels. The presentation will describe\nhow ECT has be
 en applied in monitoring of two processes that are\ncommonly used in pharm
 aceutical industry. The first one is\ncalledhigh-shear granulation\, in wh
 ich pharmaceutical powders are\nbuilt-up into granules with the help of hi
 gh-shear mixer and binder\nliquid. The second is called fluidized-bed dryi
 ng\, in which wet\ngranules are dried with the help of a heated stream of 
 air. In the\ncase studies\, monitoring signals that describe the progress 
 and the\ncharacteristics of these processes are generated from the ECT ima
 ges.
