Our laboratory instruments have been modified to meet the rigors imposed by online process monitoring.
AccuSizer 780 OL Online
Online process monitoring is made easy with our patented autodilution technology. We can take laboratory instrumentation with high precision, accuracy, resolution and reproducibility and carry it to the process line. Simple customizable computer controlled fluid-capturing devices can be used to grab and measure precise aliquots of concentrated in-line dispersions. Once an aliquot of sample is automatically captured, it is simply injected into the autodilution system. Then, just as in the laboratory system, the sample is diluted to the optimal concentration for measurement, without regard to its initial concentration with single-particle resolution or particle size distribution (PSD). The resulting distribtions, are identical to those that historically could only be obtained in the research laboratory. No longer do you have to develop correlation algorithms and complex statistical tools to compare laboratory results to online results.
AccuSizer 780 MPS Mobile Particle Sizer
The AccuSizer 780/MPS was designed for sequential multi-point process monitoring at line where a multiplexer system or multiple system monitors are not viable options. Now you can achieve the benefits of at-line process monitoring without the expense of a fully automated on-line system. Just another way PSS allows users to bring laboratory measurements to the process QC are.
Slurry Monitor (TOWER)
Multi-port systems are available with specialized software to monitor multiple points in an online process. These reduce the costs while maximizing coverage to insure that quality control requirements are met. The software has links to dump ASCII data directly into Microsoft spreadsheets and database packages. It provides for limitless post capture data analysis that can easily be customized by the user with common programs found on all modern computer systems.
Process Applications
Applications include detecting fine particles in catalyst material (high pressure, explosion proof environment), paraffin wax precipitates in diesel fuel (explosion proof - 35° C temperature), large-particle "tails" in various emulsions produced by homogenization, such as soft-drink emulsions, oil in water drug injectables, pigments, and grinding slurries for polishing and upstream/downstream filter testing.
