Recent US Transport Security Administration (TSA) legislation concerning liquids on aircraft has meant that passengers are now limited to carrying containers of less than 3 fluid ounces (100ml), contained in a clear plastic zip top bag, 1 quart (1 litre) in volume and only 1 bag per passenger is allowed (3-1-1 rule).The widespread acceptance of this 3-1-1 policy by over 60 countries demonstrates the international understanding of the threat to aviation from liquid explosives.

The Kromek 311+ Scanner has been designed to rapidly determine whether any threat items are present within these plastic bags. The scanner is also capable of identifying liquids in containers up to 2 litres in capacity, which can be glass, plastic or metal.

This inspection unit uses a multispectral x-ray technique. The identification of unknown liquids, aerosols, gels etc is based upon multispectral analysis of xrays using a combination of Kromek detectors and the proprietary ADMIT algorithm.

The system can identify and categorise liquids, aerosols and gels into user defined pass or fail categories in a matter of seconds.

Benefits at a glance:

• User definable threat list
• Future proof
• No sample preparation required
• Fast and accurate identification of liquids, aerosols, gels, etc
• Non-invasive scanning
• No consumables or waste
• Minimal operator training required.

The Kromek single array is customised for retro-fit into existing OEM scanner systems or designed to fit into new build systems. The Kromek single array sends data and images to the system that are equivalent to the data currently received from Si detectors which will allow current systems to maintain all of their existing technological advantages. However, the Kromek single array will also provide enhanced capability for liquid threat detection by using multi-spectral CdTe detectors. The Kromek single array can be used in a variety of applications and platforms to meet customer needs.
