Description
Online chemical process analysis is an evolving technology
offering large potential savings in energy costs, reduction of
offgrade production, efficient facilities employment, improved
safety, and better quality. In addition, an in-situ analyzer in a
pilot facility can help to tune processes and speed scaleup.
On the other hand, the wrong analyzer or a problematic
installation can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with no
gain. It is important that informed decisions be made on the
purchase and installation of these instruments. This two-day
course will provide an overview of some of the most
important of the currently available technologies, how they
compare, where they might be employed, example
applications, and what is needed to achieve a successful
installation. Calibration issues, spectral interpretations, and
comparison with laboratory values, will be covered and
examples given. Other types of analyzers, such as pH,
moisture, physical property, inferential, acoustic, density and
others will also be reviewed, but in less detail than chemical
composition analyzers.
