Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Phase separation If two phases have any difference in either turbidity or absorbance between 250nm and 2500nm, then they can be separated using a Kemtrak process photometer. By monitoring either the absorbance or turbidity at strategic points in the process, immediate detection of product-product or product-water interfaces can be achieved. The benefits…

Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Chromatographic Separation Chromatography involves passing a mixture of substances dissolved in a mobile phase through a stationary phase, in order to separate the substances of interest. Chromatography requires accurate monitoring and control and repeatability is essential. The versatility and efficacy of chromatographic techniques have made them essential in both large scale and…

Petrochemical Water in fuel The measurement of water in hydrocarbon solvents and gasses is an important measurement in the petrochemical industry. The use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for water analysis is common as NIR offers high sensitivity and measurements can be undertaken in-line providing immediate results. A Kemtrak water-in-oil analyzer can be used for measuring…

Petrochemical Interface detection If two phases have any difference in either turbidity or absorbance between 250nm and 2000nm, then they can be separated by a Kemtrak process photometer. By monitoring either the absorbance or turbidity at strategic points in the process, immediate detection of product-product or product-water interfaces can be achieved. The benefits include: reduced product…
