New Generation NMR Process Analyser

Modcon Systems (Israel) introduces the MOD-8000, a new generation of Nuclei Magnetic Resonance (NMR) process analyser. A new concept in the design of the magnet, the electronics and the software was implemented, alongside a suitable sampling system. High reliability and accuracy is achieved by eliminating sensitivity towards any temperature fluctuations.

Process streams with different temperatures and flow properties can accurately be analysed by one single instrument.

NMR is a fundamental method; it is based on the assignment and quantification of the substances which are present in process stream. The linear spectral response enables chemometric methods to quantify accurately the required physical and chemical properties of process streams.

In contrast to optical correlative methods, its accuracy is not influenced by the presence of substances with atoms others than hydrogen and carbon which vary according to the origin of crude oils. Crude switching will not have any impact on the analytical results.

The MOD-8000 NMR process analyser is applicable to transparent, dense and opaque solutions alike. On-line analyses of crude oil, the entire range of distillates and a variety of refinery streams, provide a highly effective tool in meeting the challenges of ongoing process optimisation.
