Read the composition as it flows.
Spectrally™ places a Raman probe directly into your urea, UAN/RSM, and AUS 32 (DEF/AdBlue) process — inline, meaning within the reactor, pipeline, or mixer itself, without sampling. Urea concentration, nitrate, ammonium, biuret, and solution homogeneity are measured continuously, in seconds, with no reagents.
Urea, ammonium nitrate, and the unwanted biuret by-product in aqueous nitrogen fertilizers and AUS 32 (DEF/AdBlue).
The main component of both UAN/RSM and DEF — measured in real time rather than inferred after the batch.
The core of the Spectrally platform, and strongly effective inline in water because water is a weak Raman scatterer.
Immersion probe in the reactor, pipeline, or mixer, feeding your PLC / DCS continuously.
Everything a nitrogen or DEF plant asks us — one page per answer.
Six focused pages: the chemistries we cover, the parameters we read, how the measurement works, the feasibility results behind it, the regulatory context and the instrument itself.
The line does not wait for the lab.
Refractometry provides answers in 2 to 3 minutes but reads only total dissolved solids — it cannot separate urea from ammonium nitrate and never detects biuret. The methods that can are slow: Kjeldahl total nitrogen takes 60 to 90 minutes, biuret by GC takes 40 to 60. By then, the blend or batch has moved on.
Sample, walk to the lab, run Kjeldahl, GC, or titration, wait, report. A deviation in urea concentration or total nitrogen (%N) only surfaces as an off-spec blend at your customer — after the product has shipped. Off-spec DEF misses the ISO 22241 window, and the liability falls on the producer.
The probe reads the reactor, pipeline, or mixer continuously and streams urea, nitrate, ammonium, and biuret data to your control system. The deviation is detected while you can still correct it — so offline methods become verification, not the bottleneck.
Spectrum to a process value, continuously.
Composition resolved down to single ppm.
System CAPEX: 75 to 250k EUR — no reagents, no consumables.
Typical timeline from feasibility to line: 3 to 5.5 months.
Put it on your line — starting with your own samples.
Send representative samples or process data from your urea, UAN/RSM, DEF/AdBlue, or ATS stream. We build and validate a chemometric model on your matrix and show you exactly what inline Raman would read on your line — before any commitment. Your feasibility study returns the exact figures for your material, modeled and validated on your own samples.
