Case 01A batch near the end of the reaction
The end of the reaction is judged from time, temperature and a pulled sample.
With the probe: reaction progress is a curve on the DCS screen, and the batch moves on at a reading.
Torlon PAI at Greenville / Use cases
Use casesThree situations from a PAI batch.
Each case starts with a common way the decision is taken and shows what changes when the value comes from the process.
01Situations from the shift
Where a reading changes the decision.
Case 01
Case 02Solvent left in the polymer
Residual solvent is confirmed on a sample of the finished powder.
With the probe: solvent content in the liquid stream is read as the step runs, and the powder check confirms it.
Case 03A powder lot before compounding
Each lot is checked in the lab before it goes to compounding.
With the probe: each lot is checked against its reference spectrum at-line, and the result is stored with the lot.
02The platform
What comes with every installation.
Catalog values for Spectrally X1 INLINE. The figures for your process come from the feasibility study on your samples.
Per reading
~5s
From spectrum to a process value. Acquisition time is configurable from 5 to 300 s.
Reagents
0
Routine operation runs without reagents or consumables. Rated laser lifetime is a minimum of two years.
Channels
2
Two measurement points per cabinet as standard, with more on request.
To the line
5.5mo
Typical time from the first workshop to a running installation: 3 to 5.5 months.
03What your study returns
What the feasibility study hands back to Greenville.
Model
A model per value
Each value checked against your lab's reference method, on your samples.
Range
The validity range
The composition, temperature and pressure range the model covers, stated in the report.
Points
The first two points
Recommended locations, with process connection and holder, checked against the probe rating.
Savings case
Your numbers
The gain quantified as a documented scenario on your own data.
