How We Turned a Static Optics FTIR Spectrometer into a Universal Analyzer for Pulping
Continuous, on-line and real time measurement of the pulping process remains difficult to achieve. Previous attempts using technology such as near infrared (NIR) have been challenging to implement. In this webinar we’ll introduce the use of static optics Fourier transform mid infrared (FTIR) as significantly more stable, easier to install, and informative technology. We’ll explain the differences between NIR and FTIR, and why FITR is a much more informative choice. We’ll explain why it’s not been possible to use FTIR in a mill until now, and what makes static optics different. Lastly, we’ll give detailed examples in white, green and black liquor analysis with real world data.
