This comprehensive course is intended for professionals in the pharmaceutical, chemical, petroleum, and instrumentation industries, including:Process and analytical chemists
Process control specialists
Chemical engineers
Manufacturing and quality improvement managers
Sales or service engineers
Instrumentation engineers
Description:
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.
