abstract: "A
new soft-sensor was developed to measure a hydraulics pressure gradient in a liquid-solid
fluidised bed (LSF). LSF is frequently encountered in drinking water treatment
processes, often to obtain a large liquid-solid interfacial surface area. A
large surface area is crucial for optimal seeded crystallisation in full-scale
softening reactors. Due to crystallisation, particles grow and migrate to a
lower zone in the reactor which leads to a stratified bed. Larger particles
adversely affect the surface area. To maintain optimal process conditions in
the fluidised beds, information is needed about the distribution of particle
size, local voidage and available surface area, over the reactor height. This
data set contains 54 individual measurements of calciet pellets (0.8-0.9mm),
(0.9-1.0mm) and a mixture (0.5-0.63mm+1.25-1.4mm) and 3 mm glass beads for
various water flow rates."
