Optical spectroscopy is today a highly important technology for online process monitoring and optimization. Fiber-coupled probes allow a direct look into the process without time delay.
The MATRIX-F II FT-NIR spectrometer allows direct measurements in process reactors and pipelines, leading to a better understanding and control of the process. Its innovative technology provides consistent high quality results, less downtime and direct method transfer. All Bruker process spectrometers are characterized by robustness, long-term stability, and low maintenance costs.
Thousands of installations in the chemical, petrochemical and polymer industry as well as in pharmaceutical production processes and in the field of food and feed manufacturing prove our experience.
By using fiber optics technology, the difficult to reach measurement points can be accessed by industry hardened fiber optic probes, while the MATRIX-F II is positioned, e.g. in an analysis house. Bruker Optics offers complete solutions for various on-line analysis tasks.
Common process control applications include direct monitoring of chemical reactions and quality of intermediate and final products:
-Direct measurement in process reactors or pipelines, over webs or conveyor belts.
-Remote measurements over long distances.
-Improved process understanding and control.
-Ideal tool for determination of homogeneity of blending processes, concentrations of constituent chemicals and state of polymerization processes in various industries.
The MATRIX-F II was designed for reliability and easy maintenance. Consumable components on pre-aligned mounts are user-exchangeable without any realignment of the optics. With its long-life NIR light source and state-of-the-art laser diode (10 years warranty), it significantly reduces service operations and cost of ownership. The instrument can be serviced quickly for minimal disruption of the manufacturing process.
