What Process Imaging does
Process Imaging Limited is a privately held UK industrial-instrumentation company headquartered in Covent Garden, London, that designs and manufactures online video-microscopy analysers for real-time monitoring of particles, oil droplets, and gas bubbles in process liquids. Its products combine a rugged industrial camera, microscopic lens, advanced LED lighting module, and a high-pressure/high-temperature flow cell (316 stainless steel with sapphire windows, rated to 120 Bar and 120°C) with proprietary morphological software that measures up to 18 parameters per particle and delivers concentration (ppm) and particle size distribution data (D10/D50/D90) every 10 seconds. The portfolio spans the LP100A bench-top unit, the IF100A industrial on-line analyser, the MEx1A mobile ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 hazardous-area unit, the MEx1A_SK fixed skid system (with the MEx1A_SK_W variant featuring automated self-cleaning), and a rental fleet (MZ4, ViPA B/LP100A).
The company serves primarily the oil & gas sector — produced water discharge and reinjection, water injection, separation optimisation, and chemical treatment — and also extends into power generation, fuels, water treatment, chemicals, food processing, edible oils, polymer, and pharmaceutical applications. Customers referenced span the UK, Norway, Germany, Nigeria, India, the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Canada, and Brazil, with distribution handled through direct field-sales engineers and a regional reseller (Benchmark Measurement Solutions) covering the Permian Basin. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales of analyser units, professional services (field consultancy, commissioning, process optimisation, troubleshooting), equipment rental with expert operators, and online training courses. Process Imaging acquired Jorin Limited and its ViPA analyser portfolio in 2022 to consolidate its position as a global provider of online liquid quality monitoring.

Process Imaging product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Process Imaging designs, manufactures, and sells online and bench-top industrial particle analysers that use video microscopy to provide real-time measurement of oil droplets, solid particles, and gas bubbles in process fluids. The portfolio spans compact bench-top units (LP100A), industrial fixed analysers (IF100A), mobile hazardous-area units (MEx1A), fixed skid systems (MEx1A_SK, MEx1A_SK_W), and a rental fleet (MZ4, ViPA B/LP100A). The company also delivers onsite field services, consultancy, process optimisation, and training to oil & gas, power generation, fuels, water treatment, and chemicals customers globally.
Product overview
Process Imaging offers a portfolio of industrial fluid quality analysers built on a unified video microscopy technology platform. The core technology combines a rugged industrial camera, microscopic lens, advanced LED lighting module, and flow cell rated for continuous operation in harsh environments. The product range spans four categories: (1) LP100A and IF100A for lab/safe area applications; (2) MEx1A mobile analyser with ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 certification for hazardous area troubleshooting; (3) MEx1A_SK and MEx1A_SK_W fixed skid systems for permanent continuous monitoring; and (4) MZ4 and ViPA B/LP100A rental units for temporary deployments. All analysers use the same intelligent software platform that provides real-time particle identification, concentration (ppm), and particle size distribution (microns) for oil droplets, solid particles, and gas bubbles. The company also provides field and site services including consultancy, process optimisation, and equipment rental with expert operators.

Process Imaging competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Endress+Hauser: One of the largest global suppliers of industrial process measurement instrumentation, including liquid analysis, flow, and pressure. Competes directly with Process Imaging in process analytics for oil & gas and water treatment, but offers a much broader portfolio rather than specialising in video-microscopy particle analysis.
- KROHNE: Industrial process instrumentation manufacturer with strong oil & gas and water industry presence, including flow, level, and analytical measurement. Overlaps with Process Imaging's process monitoring footprint, particularly in midstream and produced water applications.
- Hach (Danaher): Major water quality analysis provider covering municipal and industrial water treatment. Competes with Process Imaging in water treatment and produced water monitoring, but with broader wet-chemistry and sensor-based product lines rather than video-microscopy.
- Emerson (Rosemount): Global process measurement and analytical instrumentation supplier (Rosemount, Rosemount Analytical). Competes in oil & gas, power, and water applications where Process Imaging sells; broader portfolio including pressure, temperature, level, and gas detection.
- Mettler-Toledo: Leading manufacturer of laboratory and industrial analytical instruments, including particle characterisation systems. Comparable to Process Imaging on lab-grade particle measurement and on serving pharmaceutical, chemical, and food customers with quality-control instrumentation.
- Yokogawa Electric: Major process automation and instrumentation vendor with a strong liquid analysis portfolio and deep relationships with oil & gas operators worldwide. Direct overlap with Process Imaging in produced water, water injection, and downstream process monitoring use cases.
- Siemens Process Analytics: Industrial automation and process analytics provider offering liquid analysis instrumentation through the Siemens Process Instrumentation portfolio. Competes with Process Imaging in power generation, water, and chemical plant analytics applications.
Direct peers
- TSI Incorporated: Manufacturer of particle counters and sizers for cleanroom, contamination control, and process applications. Direct technology overlap with Process Imaging's particle measurement capability, though TSI's strength is more concentrated in aerosol and cleanroom monitoring than produced water.
- Malvern Panalytical (Spectris): Specialist in particle size and shape analysis using laser diffraction, image analysis, and other techniques. Direct overlap with Process Imaging's morphological particle analysis capability, especially in laboratory and pharmaceutical/food applications.
Emerging players
- Jorin (historical / pre-acquisition): Original UK-based developer of the ViPA video-microscopy particle analyser that was acquired by Process Imaging in 2022. Listed here as the historical predecessor entity whose technology, customers, and product lines now sit inside Process Imaging.
