Cpac will be using Aspectrics's award-winning EP-IR MultiComponent 5000 analyser in order to develop an advanced BTX analyzer that will revolutionise petrochemical analyses.
The agreement will see students at the Cpac conducting a complete industrial research project to measure Benzene, Toluene and Xylene in a process stream using Aspectrics's revolutionary EP-IR technology.
Jim Yano, VP of marketing, Aspectrics comments: "Petrochemical companies are looking for cheaper and more rugged instrumentation than their current process FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) to measure benzene, toluene and xylene in a process stream.
"We at Aspectrics feel that the combination of Cpac's high-level research, exploration into new technologies and experience in solving real world process applications fits very well with our EP-IR technology.
"This collaboration is an exciting opportunity to provide enhanced analytical capabilities in the field of infrared spectroscopy".
Cpac, established at the University of Washington in 1984, is a consortium of industrial, national laboratory and government agency sponsors addressing multidisciplinary challenges in process analytical technology (Pat) and process control through fundamental and directed academic research.
The EP-IR MultiComponent 5000 analyser features ultra fast scanning capability with 100 scans per second thus allowing manufacturers to monitor processes in real time.
Aspectrics will also provide Cpac with a full suite of software solutions, resulting in quicker and more efficient real-time data acquisition, as well as instrument control, data play back and quantitation.
A variety of sampling accessories will be also made available to facilitate rapid integration of the MultiComponent 5000 analyser to the application. Request a free brochure from Aspectrics ...
