Estimating Dense-Packed Zone Height in Liquid-Liquid Separation: A Physics-Informed Neural Network Approach

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2601.18399v2 Announce Type: replace Separating liquid-liquid dispersions in gravity settlers is critical in chemical, pharmaceutical, and recycling processes. The dense-packed zone height is an important performance and safety indicator but it is often expensive and impractical to measure due to optical limitations. We propose a framework to estimate phase heights by combining a PINN model with readily available volume flow measurements, without requiring phase height measurements during deployment.
