On-line EDXRF process analyser

Featuring advanced 3rd generation energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technology, the Rigaku NEX OL on-line process elemental analyser represents the next evolution of process elemental analysis for liquid stream and fixed position web or coil applications. The NEX OL delivers rapid, non-destructive, multi-element analyses and is configurable for use in both classified and non-classified areas.

To deliver superior analytical performance and reliability, the EDXRF measuring head assembly was derived from the established Rigaku NEX QC+ high resolution benchtop instrument. With this proven technology, the Rigaku NEX OL delivers rapid, non-destructive, multi-element analyses – from parts-per-million (ppm) levels to high weight percent (wt%) concentrations – for elements from aluminum through uranium. Equipped with a 50 kV X-ray tube and SDD detector – together with a standardised, optimised suite of tube filters – the Rigaku NEX OL is engineered to solve a broad range of process control applications.

For the elemental analysis of liquid streams, an analysing head is mated to a unique toolless flow cell assembly incorporating the X-ray window. The X-ray window contains the liquid stream but is transparent to X-rays.
