Leon Heemels

• Mass flow including density, temperature, pressure, viscosity (<1% accuracy)
• Robust pH measurements, incl. fouling detection
• Analyzers …
• Wireless instruments

Partners already ‘on board’:
WIB – Process Automation Users’ Association, DSM, Dow Benelux

Work packages:

• Pressure: Hygienic applications; Oil free/Fat free sensors
• Flow, Liquids: increased applications of disposables in bioprocesses trigger the development of single-use sensors
• Foam and Level detection in fermentation processes
• Temperature: self calibrating sensors
• Composition (solids, product change)
• Oxygen (gas at high T, fouling. In Polymer solution)
• Fingerprinting of raw material (composition for ‘feed forward’)
• Final product quality (e.g. acid number, NCO number, solids percentage for emulsions, pH)
• Viscosity (polymer solution, reaction conversion)
• Fast and high information density on product quality (UV; IR, NIR;NMR)
• Polymer concentration
• Yarn tension and temperature monitoring
• Titration on line??????

Opportunities for new partners:
Suppliers: GE Energy, Honeywell, Imtech Industrial Services, Inventech, Krohne, Mitsubishi, Penko Engineering, Raster, Schneider Electric/Invensys, Techmation.
