First Scanner 4D, Launched in the World

Groups of researchers Indonesia joined in the research group in CTECH Center for Research Tomography (CTECH Labs), Edwar Technology (PT), Tangerang, for the first time making the release of 4D scanner prototype system for the first chemical reactor in the world. Scanner system releases the chemical process is conducted in the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, the United States on 6 November 2008. The scanner system consists of sensor systems, data acquisition system and computer control and process data to be processed into three-dimensional image International (3D) in real time is entirely produced by scientists CTECH Labs in Indonesia, PT. Edwar Technology in Tangerang.

Equipment scanner chemical reactor technology is based on electrical capacitance volume Tomography (ECVT) second generation that has been patented by DR. Warsito is the head of research at CTECH Labs. ECVT second generation is able to do with high-speed scanning that can directly view the process that occurs in the chemical reactor closed in 3D and real time. Research group from Ohio State University under Prof. LS Fan is the first user and this system will be used to study the behavior of particles and gases in the chemical reactor to develop new energy substitute for oil. Prof. Fan is head of the research consortium of oil processing technology of top scientists from almost all the leading oil company in the world such as Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, to Air Products and Dow Chemical.

4D scanner system releases the second generation in the Ohio State University will start its products marketing in the United States and Canada through business partners of PT. Edwar Technology in the United States, namely Tech4Imaging Company based in Ohio. Previous ECVT first generation system also has been used primarily in the Ohio State University, and also the company’s B & W, Ohio, USA and Cambridge University, England. In addition, second-generation system ECVT will also be installed in Morgantown National Laboratory is owned by the Department of Energy of America. PT. Edwar Technology also handles orders of this second-generation system from University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
