About SOPAT

SOPAT GmbH develops, manufactures and distributes photooptical, image-based measurement technology for the quantitative inline analysis of particulate multiphase systems. The systems capture particle size distributions and particle characteristics in real time, fully automated in 24/7 operation, without sampling or dilution. The measurement probes are offered for use in potentially explosive areas (ATEX Group II, Category 2G, types of protection "d" and "op"). Customers come from industries such as process industry, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology; more than 25 sales partners operate worldwide and over 200 SOPAT systems have been sold in more than 30 countries. The service offering includes laboratory tests and feasibility studies, on-site demonstrations, installation and commissioning, training, rental or try-and-buy, workflow creation with parameter optimization, and customized integration into process control systems. The company is based in Berlin-Tempelhof.
