Abstract:
Fast analysis is critical for process optimization. While GC-MS or LC-MS may help distinguish what chemical species are present in a sample composition, these techniques take several minutes to complete an analysis and are not designed for fast process monitoring. An online, stand-alone mass spectrometer allows operations to cut costs, increase production, and maintain a safe working environment through the continuous, automated monitoring of multiple stages of production. As a flexible gas analysis technique, stand-alone mass spectrometers are also used to optimize manufacturing processes by providing the data necessary for R&D and methods that easily transfer directly from pilot production to full scale. Live readings of process composition enable real-time process adjustments and “on the fly” optimizations to maximize up-time and on-spec product gas yields. This presentation will discuss the performance capabilities of the Process Insights Mass Spectrometers as well as their flexibility for multiple applications.
