Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is commonly used on site as a characterisation and monitoring tool. In the present work this technique has been applied at laboratory scale in order to investigate its capabilities in controlled conditions, with particular reference to the detection of anomalies in sandy samples.

Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is commonly used on site as a characterisation and monitoring tool. In the present work this technique has been applied at laboratory scale in order to investigate its capabilities in controlled conditions, with particular reference to the detection of anomalies in sandy samples. Various configurations have been studied, investigating heterogeneities due to variation of porosity, grain size distribution and clay content. The results show the great potential of EIT as an imaging tool in laboratory equipment to check sample homogeneity and to monitor processes during tests.
