APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW FOR NIR UV-VIS PROCESS AND LAB ANALYZER SPECTROMETERS
| Key Word | Industry | Application Title | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| APHA | Petroleum | On-Line Monitoring of APHA Color | APHA is sometimes referred to as the Platinum- Cobalt (Pt/Co) or Hazen scale. Also referred to as a “yellowness index”, the APHA color scale is a common method of comparison of the intensity of yellow-tinted samples to assess the quality of liquids that are clear to yellowish in color. Discover how real-time monitoring of APHA color either on-line or in a laboratory setting using a photometer can improve your process. |
| Aromatics | Petroleum | Monitoring the Percent Aromatics in Gasoline by NIR | The aromatic content of gasoline determines many of its combustion properties. Since it also impacts the environmental characteristics of the fuel it is desirable to have accurate measurements of this parameter. The traditional analytical method for measuring aromatics is either gas chromatography (GC) or an older method entitled fluorescent indicator adsorption (FIA), both of which are time and labor intensive. Learn how Guided Wave hardware and software can provide real-time measurement of % aromatics in fuel products using fiber optic-based, Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. |
| ASTM Color / D1500 / D1524 | Petroleum | On-line Monitoring of ASTM Color (0-7) With a ClearView® db Photometer | ASTM color (reference ASTM D1500, ASTM D1524) describes the color measurement method for fuels including lubricating oils, heating oils, diesel fuels, and petroleum waxes. The lowest value of 0.5 being a light yellow, 2 being yellow, 5 being orange, and 8 being a deep red. ASTM color is an important product quality measurement for many refinery and petrochemical processes. |
| Benzene | Petroleum | Benzene in Gasoline | The NIR spectra of a group of 150 different process gasoline samples with known benzene concentration ranging from 0.2 to 6.0% were measured between 1000 and 1600 nm using a GUIDED WAVE NIR Spectrometer. NIR is a time and money saving alternative to traditional methods. |
| Cetane Number | Petroleum | Cetane Number of Diesel Fuels | The Cetane number of a diesel fuel is a measure of the ignition properties and is an important specification that must be met during fuel production. The traditional laboratory method for Cetane number determination is the knock engine method in which the fuel is burned and its combustion characteristics compared to known standards. This method is time and labor intensive, and provides no ability for real-time control of production. This note discusses the use of GUIDED WAVE hardware and software for the measurement of Cetane number in diesel fuel using fiber optic-based, Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. |
| Styrene | Chemical | On-Line Control of a Styrene Tower | A ClearView db Photometer was installed at a Styrene production tower to monitor the concentration of styrene in ethylbenzene in the presence of toluene and benzene. The MLR calibration for styrene in 10 overhead samples resulted in an (R2>.9999) with a standard error of 0.84% styrene. |
| Ethylene Dichloride | Chemical | Safe Operation of your EDC Reactor | Ethylene dichloride (EDC) plants need to monitor the ethylene content in the vent gas. By using Near Infrared Spectroscopy, the control systems can maintain a constant concentration in the vent gas and also ensure that the concentration is maintained at safe levels during start-up. |

This helps to minimize waste and the need for reprocessing petroleum products. |
| Octane | Petroleum | Realtime Octane Number Determination | The Octane number rating of a gasoline is an indication of how the gasoline will perform under various engine conditions. Two different ratings are included: Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON). Finished gasoline must meet certain Octane number specifications. Thus refineries control this parameter during production and must certify that a gasoline meets specification before it is released. Learn how Guided Wave can help ensure proper Octance levels avoiding the delay of an engine knock test. |
| LNG | Petroleum | Color in LNG (liquefied natural gas) | Measuring the Saybolt or ASTM color online is a key parameter in many light hydrocarbon mixes, such as Liquid Natural Gas for quality control. Monitoring the color allows the refiner to verify that the product is within specification and identify any “out of spec” product for reprocessing before being sold. |
| Saybolt | Petroleum | On-Line Monitoring of Saybolt Color | Saybolt color (reference ASTM D156, ASTMD6045) is primarily used in characterizing fuels including automobile and aviation gasolines, jet fuel, diesel fuel and other petroleum products. The Saybolt color scale goes from 30, which a barely perceivable yellow, to –16 which is a definite yellow. Learn how Guided Wave can provide cost-effective, explosion proof, field ready Saybolt Color monitors. |
| Iodine | Petroleum | Iodine Value of Oils | An important characteristic of a fatty oil product is its iodine value (IV). This is a measure of the unsaturated fatty acid content and indicates the ease of oxidation or the drying capacity of the product. Empirically, the IV is expressed in terms of the number of centigrams of iodine per gram of sample. Learn how NIR can be applied in real time to directly monitor your process. |
| Ethylene Glycols | Chemical | On-Line Monitoring of Water in Ethylene Glycols | Concentrations ranging from 0-100% water in Ethylene Glycol, each at 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45°C were scanned on a NIR-O Full Spectrum Analyzer. A four-wavelength multiple linear regression was performed, which resulted in excellent linearity (R2>.9999) |
| Dimethylformamide / DMF | Chemical | On-Line Monitoring of Water in Dimethylformamide | The ability to monitor low levels of water in dimethylformamide (DMF) is a key consideration in the production of 1,3 butadiene. The quality of the final product (purity) can be compromised when water in excess of 400ppm is present in the DMF solvent stream. NIR spectroscopy provides the ideal method for in-situ water measurement. |
| Polyurethane | Chemical | Measurements in Polyurethanes In Situ | Many aspects of polyurethane production such as isocyanate concentration can be measured using Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. In situ monitoring in the reactor systems allows for control of important properties during the reaction and to determine the endpoint of the reaction, thus adding to the value and cost savings. |
| Polymer Resin Reaction Endpoint | Chemical | Determining Polymer / Resin Reaction Endpoint In Situ | Determining reaction endpoint in polymer/resin reactors is critical to achieve desired product properties, such as molecular weight. Knowing exactly when the reaction is over saves residence time and batch conversion time, and lowers the overall manufacturing cost.

| Ethanol | Petroleum | Real-time Determination of Ethanol in Gasoline | Ethanol is now a common biofuel additive for gasoline. The additional oxygen in ethanol provides for a cleaner burning fuel. The data presented demonstrates the measurement of the ethanol content of fuel using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. |
| Fuel ID | Petroleum | Product Pipeline Interface Detection by NIR Spectroscopy | Petroleum product pipelines provide an efficient method of delivering product to distribution terminals. These multi-purpose pipelines deliver many different fuels often injected into the pipeline in a sequential fashion with no physical barriers between products. The receiving terminal must detect and separate the products in order to send them to the appropriate tanks and also identify off-specification product. |
| Polymer Melts | Chemical | Online Monitoring of Polymer Melts Using UV Fiber-Optic Spectroscopy | Polymer performance is directly related to the level of stabilizer. As a result, measurement and control of the additive concentration that is melt compounded into the polymer is crucial. Making these measurements in the melt offers many advantages over current offline quality control methods such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This application note will discuss an online UV/VIS method for monitoring the levels of hindered phenols and phosphites in polypropylene. |
| Acrolein | Chemical | Safe and Efficient Control of the Acrolein Process | Acrolein (or propenal) is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde. It is a colorless liquid and is mainly used as a biocide or as a building block to other chemical compounds. Measurement of both the water and acetaldehyde concentration in the final product is required. Acrolein is toxic and, without online analysis, hazardous manual sampling will be needed. Near-infrared spectroscopy can provide rapid, real-time, in-situ analysis of the Acrolein cross-linking process. |
| Cloud Point | Petroleum | Cloud Point of Diesel Fuel | The Cloud Point of a diesel fuel is the temperature below which wax forms giving the fuel a cloudy appearance. This parameter is an important property of the fuel since the presence of solidified waxes can clog filters and negatively impact engine performance. The traditional laboratory methods for the measurement of Cloud Point are optical in nature, but rely on cooling the fuel for the wax formation to occur. Guided Wave’s NIR instrumentation can measure composition changes in the fuel that will be directly related to the wax formation and hence the Cloud Point. |

Learn some useful facts to consider when monitoring aqueous solutions with near-infrared spectroscopy. |
| Saccharin | Chemical | Monitoring breakthrough of Low Level Organics in Water | Saccharin is used as a sweetener and preservative in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food and as an agent in semiconductor plating baths. Molecules similar to saccharin, i.e. benzo substituted heterocyclic rings, are used in semiconductor cleaning solutions. These applications often require control of organic concentrations in water in the 100 ppm range and below. Using Saccharin as a model trace contaminant learn how NIR can be used to identify when levels warrant replacement of the filter or reaction bath. |
| Phosphoric Acid | Semiconductor | Automated Determination of Phosphoric Acid Concentration | The use of phosphoric acid solutions is common in the semiconductor industry to both clean and etch metal surfaces. The concentration of the phosphoric acid is important to optimize these processes. Typically the laboratory method used for this determination involves one or more titrations. Learn how spectroscopy can be used for online in-situ monitoring of Phosphoric Acid Concentration. |
| Solvents | Chemical | Monitoring Water In Solvents | Water can be detected at much lower levels in non-OH containing solvents since there is less interaction between the base solvent and the water. However, in OH containing solvents such as Methanol, water can be detected down to several hundred parts per million. The measurement of the water levels in solvents with NIR spectroscopy is both fast and reliable utilizing the Guided Wave hardware and produces results that are available in real-time (seconds) thus making it a valuable tool for process measurement. |
| Benzotriazole | Semiconductor | Automated Monitoring of Benzotriazole Contamination For the Semiconductor Industry | Benzotriazoles have many uses. They can be used in the semiconductor industry in wafer cleaning, an anti-freeze ingredient for de-icing airplanes, in photographic developing baths, as a corrosion inhibitor for copper and bronze, a UV stabilizer in some plastics, and as a precursor for many pharmaceutical compounds.
