Abstract
A on-line method for detecting erosion or plugging for manifolded feed nozzle systems which carry two-phase liquid/gas flow by determining a liquid flow parameter related to liquid flow. The method can determine whether the erosion is at the liquid nozzle or the gas restriction orifice. The amount of erosion or plugging can be quantified.
