Abstract:
Moisture analysis in the petrochemical industry is crucial to quality control and process optimization. Traditionally, moisture is performed by Karl Fischer Titration (KFT) in an offline lab, causing delays between receiving data and process implementation. Online near-infrared (NIR) measurements provide real-time results but usually require significant effort to calibrate, especially at low levels. In this talk, we demonstrate how to eliminate the calibration effort by auto-building prediction models down to ~5 ppm without manual sampling. One notable advantage is the method transferability, allowing an easy but effective transfer of the initial model to various production environments, and between analyzers.
