- Achieve Optimal Performance by Mastering the Rules and Tools for Analytical Accuracy and Quality Assurance
Analytical instruments used for online chemical analysis of process streams or plant environments are generally called Process Analyzer Systems or Quality Measuring Instruments. Reliable online analytical data is crucial for a safe and efficient operation. This is important not only for the Oil & Gas and Chemical Industry but also for Pharmaceutical, Power Generation and other industries.
Legislative requirements, economics as well as health and safety, emissions control and energy conservation are setting increasingly stringent requirement on reliable analyzer data. This may result in huge losses or fines to the operating company.
During the first part of this course, we focus on all issues related to online Chromatography type analysis ranging from the basic principles, Sample Injection techniques, Analysis Columns, Applied Detector systems and particular Industrial Chromatographic configurations.
Other important subjects on specific on-line PGC systems and practical tools for Performance Monitoring and Troubleshooting are included.
In the second part, we will discuss the subjects that are of still growing importance for the Environment, including Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems. The main part of the applied analysis will be covered by Spectroscopy.
