Enhance Solvent Drying & Recovery with Precision Gas Analysis
- Maximize production efficiency and reduce solvent waste through accurate, real-time monitoring.
- Easily switch between multiple chambers or drying systems, even when using different solvents.
- Optimized for ambient pressure, vacuum drying, and lyophilization processes.
- Perform trace moisture detection and multi-species analysis of solvents such as IPA, MEK, DCM, ethyl acetate, styrene, and acetonitrile.
Solvent Drying & Recovery & Mass Spectrometry
Due to the large number of chemical solvents used in the drying process, Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry is the only viable and economical analytical technology for Solvent Recovery applications. To achieve the flexibility of analysis and parts per billion detection (ppb) limits, the EXTREL™ MAX300-RTG™ Industrial Gas Analyzer is the system of choice.
Our online Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer System is capable of fast and flexible analysis of an unlimited number of compounds in a single analytical method. The selection and tuning of analysis masses is achieved through software, not hardware. Therefore, a pharmaceutical plant’s solvent recovery process can be streamlined with no idle time between batches. Additionally, this same system is capable of analyzing the final gas exhausted to the atmosphere to monitor plant compliance with environmental regulations.
