The tomographic imaging of process parameters for oil-gas-water three-phase flow can be obtained through different sensing modalities, such as electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), both of which are sensitive to specific properties of the objects to be imaged. However, it is hard to discriminate oil, gas and water phases merely from reconstructed images of ERT or ECT. In this paper, the feasibility of image fusion based on ERT and ECT reconstructed images was investigated for oil-gas-water three-phase flow. Two cases were discussed and pixel-based image fusion method was presented. Simulation results showed that the cross-sectional reconstruction images of oil-gas-water three-phase flow can be obtained using the presented methods.

Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) are sensitive to resistivity and permittivity distributions of the object to be imaged. However, it is hard to discriminate oil, gas and water phases only using ERT or ECT. In this paper, image fusion based on ERT and ECT reconstructed images was investigated for oil-gas-water three-phase flow. And then, pixel-based image fusion method was presented. Simulation results showed that the cross-sectional reconstruction images of oil-gas-water three-phase flow can be obtained using the presented methods for discussed cases.

Electrical Capacitance Tomography technique is a new technique for multi-phase flow measurement. With broad application prospects, the purpose of this technique is to identify each phases composition of two-phase/multi-phase flow system in a closed pipe. A new method COMSOL was used to analysis the electrical capacitance tomography of reconstruction image and simulation research. First of all, different electrical models were established, and the reconstruction images of four kinds of representative flow were achieved; In addition, through simulation study of the field with disperse phase, the influence of the electrode number, shielding case and radial electrode to the imaging quality were analyzed; Finally, the reconstruction images of three-phase flow were achieved to obtain the satisfactory result.
