Learn how to address the challenges posed by contemporary industrial applications for four common elemental chemicals with refractive index measurements.
Join us for an insightful webinar where two seasoned experts delve into the critical role of refractive index measurements in chemical processing. We'll focus on four common chemicals: UAN (urea and ammonium nitrate), sulfuric acid, phosphate, and sodium bicarbonate.
Vaisala's Kevin Green is joined by Dave Lobach of Rocky Mountain Instrumentation, Inc. (RMI). With over 30 years of hands-on application expertise, Dave Lobach has collaborated with many top industry partners to design and create practical solutions for chemical industry processes. He has seen applications made more efficient and effective when Refractive Index inline process measurements replaced manual spot-checking or alternate, high-maintenance measurement methods.
Topics covered:
• What is Refractometry?
• Understanding inline process measurements with Refractive index
• How refractive index can optimize chemical processes
• Real-world applications in diverse industries, from oil refining to wastewater treatment
• Smart quality control, lower energy consumption, reduced waste, and enhanced efficiency
• How automation ensures timely corrective actions when process conditions are at risk
• Low maintenance measurements for years of high performance chemical processes
