NIR-O™

Description

RELIABLE PROCESS SPECTROMETER

Our GUIDED WAVE™ NIR-O™ process analyzer (spectrometer) offers remote multichannel extended range near-infrared (1000-2100 nm) spectroscopic analysis. NIR-O provides excellent signal-to-noise ratio, wavelength stability, NIST traceable wavelength calibration, dual beam optics and built-in diagnostics. Process engineers, operators, and researchers will appreciate NIR-O’s ability to monitor up to 12 process streams or sample interface points within a stream with accuracy, repeatability, and reliability.

The GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer spectrometer is a versatile and reliable instrument that offers many advanced features for process analysis and control applications. One of the best features of this instrument is its ability to perform real-time, non-destructive analysis of process streams, allowing for accurate and efficient monitoring of critical process parameters. This spectrometer delivers a high level of accuracy and precision. When coupled with our patented transmission probe it can achieve exceptional signal-to-noise ratios and eliminate interference from stray light and other sources of noise.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE NIR-O

REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS

Using intrinsically safe fiber optic cables to transmit light from the spectrometer to your process and back, allows real-time measurements, providing you with up-to-date process information. The GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer is designed to be used with our GUIDED WAVE 500 μm core jacketed fiber optic cables. These unique cables contain a high purity fused silica core fiber, surrounded by specialized jacketing to protect both the signal transmitted and the fiber itself, allowing the analyzer to be located up to two hundred meters away.

RESEARCH-GRADE SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO

The GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer’s dual-beam design, coupled with its high output near-zero aberration scanning grating, puts more light into the fiber. This provides an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, which means better sensitivity in your measurements. Each NIR-O provides excellent wavelength accuracy (NIST traceable) and superb wavelength repeatability.

DESIGNED FOR ONLINE PROCESSES

Our GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer (spectrometer) is suitable for online analyses of most processes and process streams. Having the built-in capacity to add more sampling points (up to 12 total channels) within the same process or across processes, in any combination, gives you the flexibility to invest in exactly the capacity you require now. It also minimizes investment for any expansion you may want in the future. NIR-O is compatible with all of our GUIDED WAVE probes and flow cells which can be used in any combination required for your analytical needs. NIR-O operates in the NIR range of 1000-2100 nm, using process-proven TE-cooled InGaAs detector technology. Built-in Modbus TCP over Ethernet allows easy communication with your system.

TRUE MULTIPLEXING

GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer (spectrometer) can be configured for up to 12 channels (i.e., independent sample points). This allows you to incorporate the number of sampling points you need now, while being able to easily and more economically add sampling points as your process or facility needs change. It can measure multiple parameters at up to 12 independent sampling locations in rapid succession, using a solid-state detector by employing digital optical switching technology. Multiplexing greatly reduces the cost-per-measurement point, making cost-per-result more economical.

NIR-O ANALYZER SYSTEM AVAILABLE WITH STABILITY MONITORING SYSTEM (SMS) OPTION

Our GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer is the core of a comprehensive system that includes the spectrometer, one or more NIR probes, fiber optic cables, and OmniView™ scanning and analysis software. The SMS is an optional, added component for NIR-O which includes hardware and software to perform analyzer validation according to ASTM methodology

GAIN PEACE OF MIND FOR YOUR PROCESS

An important consideration for successful implementation of spectroscopic analyzers is the ability to continually validate the performance of the analyzer system’s hardware components. The ASTM D6122 standard addresses this concern by out lining testing requirements.

Our GUIDED WAVE™ Stability Monitoring System SMS™ is a hardware/software package that continuously monitors the accuracy and precision of the analyzer thus ensuring the NIR-O analyzer is producing validated spectra for your applications. The SMS exceeds the requirements of ASTM D6122 for analyzer validation without the need for consumables or human interaction. Use of SMS requires the dedicated use of one channel.
