Preventing explosions: Resolved measurement of turbulent flow electrification

Cel

"""Please research electrostatic charging,"" pleaded the R&D leader of a major chemical company. While other ignition sources for explosions can be detected, seen, or smelled, electrostatic charge appears unexpectedly whenever liquids or solids flow. Responding to the urgent need for reliable detection of electrostatic charge, we propose advancing the MefiX flow charge measurement system, a groundbreaking innovation from the ERC project PowFEct, to the proof-of-concept stage.

MefiX represents a paradigm shift in safety management, offering the worlds first system capable of measuring turbulent flow charge in situ and with spatial resolution. Leveraging advanced machine learning techniques, MefiX identifies hidden ignition sources, providing early warnings against dangerous increases in electrostatic charge during liquid or powder transport processes. The primary technical objective of this PoC is to transition MefiX from a laboratory experiment to a functional prototype. We will validate its technical feasibility under real-world operating conditions and develop a compact, automated, cost-effective prototype device.

Our business development activities will assess the projects commercial viability, supported by secured patents and engagement with European and international stakeholders. To attract customers and investors, we will showcase MefiX at trade fairs and establish a comprehensive roadmap for its future commercialization. Guided by an advisory board comprising multidisciplinary experts, we aim to bridge the gap between scientific excellence and commercial success, foster safe workplaces, and contribute to a prosperous society.

Given the immense value of industrial plants, it is highly profitable for companies to invest in MefiX. With quantifiable benefits regarding safety enhancement, economic savings, and potential lives saved, MefiX promises to revolutionize industrial safety protocols, ensuring a safer and more secure future for all."
