On‐line, real‐time process elemental analysis by EDXRF

Featuring advanced 3rd generation energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technology, Rigaku’s NEX OL represents the next evolution of process elemental analysis for liquid stream and fixed position web or coil applications. Designed to span from heavy industrial through to food grade process gauging solutions, the NEX OL 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, nondestructive, multi‐element analyses – from parts‐per‐million (ppm) levels to high weight percent (wt%) concentrations – for elements from aluminum (Al) through uranium (U). 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.
