Spectroscopy for Real-Time Fermentation Process Monitoring
Monitoring fermentation processes can help manufacturers maintain consistent conditions and improve process control. This research explores a multivariate process monitoring strategy using spectroscopy in a small-scale fermenter, demonstrating how real-time spectral data and chemometric models can support monitoring and control in a process analytical technology (PAT) environment.
Determining Gasoline Octane Numbers with Flame Spectroscopy
Octane number is a key measure of gasoline performance, but traditional testing methods can require significant time and specialized analysis. This research investigates a PLS regression model using flame emission spectroscopy to determine gasoline octane numbers, demonstrating how spectral data and chemometrics can support rapid fuel characterization.
Moisture Analysis in Crude Oil with NIR Spectroscopy
Moisture content is an important quality parameter in crude oil, where even small amounts of water can affect processing and transportation. This application explores how near-infrared spectroscopy can provide rapid, non-destructive moisture analysis, offering a practical approach for monitoring crude oil quality and supporting process control.
