New innovative biodiesel quality analyser
Aspectrics, the innovator of patented Encoded Photometric Near Infrared (EP-NIR) spectroscopy technology, extends its biodiesel portfolio with the launch of the new Quality Analyser 1000
This Fortune 50 oil company is the leader in energy and petrochemical industry, conducting business in over 200 countries and territories.
CPAC will be using the Aspectrics award-winning EP-IR MultiComponent 5000 analyser in order to develop an advanced BTX analyser that will revolutionise petrochemical analyses.
The agreement will see students at the CPAC conducting a complete industrial research project to measure Benzene, Toluene and Xylene in a process stream using the Aspectrics revolutionary EP-IR technology.
Jim Yano, VP of Marketing, Aspectrics commented: "Petrochemical companies are looking for cheaper and more rugged instrumentation than their current process FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared) to measure Benzene, Toluene and Xylene in a process stream.
We at Aspectrics feel that the combination of the CPAC high-level research, exploration into new technologies and experience in solving real world process applications fits very well with our EP-IR technology.
This collaboration is an exciting opportunity to provide enhanced analytical capabilities in the field of infrared spectroscopy".
CPAC, established at the University of Washington in 1984, is a consortium of Industrial, National Laboratory and Government Agency Sponsors addressing multidisciplinary challenges in Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Process Control through fundamental and directed academic research.
The EP-IR MultiComponent 5000 analyser features ultra fast scanning capability with 100 scans per second thus allowing manufacturers to monitor processes in real time.
Aspectrics will also provide CPAC with a full suite of software solutions, resulting in quicker and more efficient real-time data acquisition, as well as instrument control, data play back and quantitation.
A variety of sampling accessories will be also made available to facilitate rapid integration of the MultiComponent 5000 analyser to the application.
