Description
<strong>Course Schedule - 8-10 December 2008</strong><br/><br/>Online chemical process analysis is a rapidly 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 three-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. Many 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.
