US Patent 11187678 Solid-liquid distribution detection apparatus

A solid-liquid distribution detection apparatus is adapted to detect a solid-liquid distribution state of a content in a solid-liquid separation column of a freeze concentration device and includes a sound source adapted to emit a sound wave to a column surface of the solid-liquid separation column, a measuring device adapted to measure a resonance waveform on the column surface of the solid-liquid separation column, and an analysis device adapted to analyze the resonance waveform measured by the measuring device and determine the solid-liquid distribution state of the content in the solid-liquid separation column based on an analysis result.
