✦ Synopsis

This treatment of process analytical technology, by a distinguished array of experts, chronicles over 50 years of process analyzer development - from its origin in the research laboratory at Ludwigshafen in the late 1930's to a dynamic worldwide technology in the early 1990s. Offering some theory and a lot of real-world, hands-on experience, this book is designed for field analyzer technicians, newly graduated engineers-in-training, and knowledgeable manufacturers application personnel. Included are drawings of sample systems that work and comments on ones that don't work. In addition, justifications and organization guidelines on process analyzer systems are presented. The volume describes analyzers from the systems side looking at implementation issues including justification, purchasing, training and validation. Specific analyzer types and the fundamentals of application for a variety of situations are explored. Contents: Introduction to This Technology Typical Analyzer Application Justifications Interfacing Analyzers With Systems Specification and Purchasing of Analyzers Calibration Considerations Training Aspects SPC/SQC for Analyzers Personnel and Organizational Issues Validation of Process Analyzers Sample Conditioning Systems Component Specific Analyzers Electrochemical Analyzers Compositional Analyzers Spectroscopic Analyzers Physical Property.
