CLD Inversion Software

This is the software for converting a measured chord length distribution (CLD) data to particle size distribution (PSD). The CLD is measured with the Mettler Toledo focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) sensor immersed in a particle suspension, for example, crystalline particles in a crystallisation process. The software then performs the necessary calculations to estimate the PSD and the aspect ratio for the particles. Details on the use of the software are contained in the user guides. The software was developed under the EPSRC funded ICT-CMAC project (grant number EP/K014250/1).

Details of the workings of the algorithm behind the software are given in the publications:
