Caprolactam plant Permanganate Index analysis

High speed processes demand Permanganate Index analysis to be on specification; or there is wastage in the plants reprocessing operations

High speed processes demand Permanganate Index (PI) analysis to be on specification; or there is wastage in the plants reprocessing operations.

The on-time determination of the purity of the Caprolactam liquid is of vital importance to the cost efficiency of the Caprolactam plant,hence the requirement of the operators is to have this analysis done quickly in order to stay in close touch with the production process .

The PI test is quite a delicate analysis and requires exceptional skills from the laboratory staff involved.

For process control the route via the lab is too time consuming, so the best possible option is to have an analytical system running the analysis on-line.

This is a realistic option with the Applikon Process Analyser ADI 2040, which copies the laboratory standard test and delivers its results at regular time intervals or at command instantly, without having to grab a sample and run it to the lab for testing.

The ADI 2040 Process Analyser from Applikon is the most versatile on-line analyser available today.

Housed in a robust IP65 rated cabinet the ADI 2040 Process Analyser can be located in the production area without further protection.

An ATEX certified version is available for installation within Zone 1 or Zone 2 areas.

The ADI 2040 Process Analyser utilises the unique Applikon Analytical wet part module construction system meaning virtually any chemical analysis can be automated and the ADI 2040 Process Analyser can be configured exactly as required.

Multiple analyses, multiple sample streams and multiple methods and programmes are possible for a full analytical solution within one device.

The ADI 2040 Process Analyser has a full range of I/O hardware and software for communication with external devices.

Data transmission can be carried out by digital outputs, analogue outputs or serial communication.

External devices such as valves, sample conditioning and additional sensors such as flow, pH and conductivity can be seamlessly integrated and controlled within the analyser.

A full range of accessories including stands, lockable reagent cabinets and reagent containers are available.

Complete analyser packages are also provided to customers requiring a full project service from a termination point.

The ADI 2040 is well geared up for the harsh conditions at a chemical production site: its front part housing is made of tough and resistant polystyrene.

A toughened glass door gives extra protection while also allowing transparency for visual inspection while not allowing unauthorised access.
