Learn how to avoid the blind spots in process monitoring

The 4IR Solutions stand at this year’s PEFTEC will show the advantages of avoiding the blind spots in oil and gas/petrochemical process control by monitoring dark/opaque materials. The limitation of optical technologies (NIR, FT-IR, IR and Raman) is their inability to effectively and productively measure dark and opaque materials. This means that the data availability for process control is effectively blind. Blind spots, from which data are not received, are located on more than half of the production floor. Imagine you could cover the blind spots. What if you could get online, real-time measurements for dark and opaque materials from the production floor directly to your control room? For crude oil feed and its opaque distillates such as diesel, gas oil or residuals the accuracy of the results from the AI-60 analyser is comparable to those from standard lab-testing methods. The difference is: you receive our results every 5 minutes! This means you can optimise and control your production process seamlessly. You no longer have to wait a whole day for lab results!
