Process monitoring/control technologies controls

Industrial process monitoring and their control is one of the fields of applications where laser chemistry seems to be without bounds. With the rapid progress of laser technology and the relatively low costs of mod-... 

Technological advancements in process monitoring, control, and industrial automation over the past decades have contributed greatly to improve the productivity of virtually all manufacturing industries throughout the world. 

The second area, the implementation of a modem process monitoring and control system, is the most dramatic current appHcation of CAD/CAM technology to the chemical process industry. The state of the art is the use of computer graphics to display the process flow diagram for sections of the process, current operating conditions, and controUer-set points. The process operator can interact directly with the control algorithms through the... 

The first demonstration of solid state fluorescence of API dates back to 1961, while its in-line use for final drug product manufacturing was not demonstrated until recently." While in its infancy as a process analytical technology for real-time monitoring and product parametric real-time release, the applications identified and in some instances demonstrated include (i) blend endpoint API content nniformity detection " (ii) segregation monitoring or API content at various process critical control points and (iii) at-line tablet content uniformity determination. The fundamentals of solid-state luminescence spectroscopy for pharmaceutical solids has been covered by Brittain."... 

It is easy to see how this technology might develop in the fumre to allow better monitoring, and ultimately control, of continuous crystallisation processes. 

The entire system is based on a tiered approach where three layers of technology are integrated into the overall treatment system, as illustrated in Chart 2. First, a distributed process control system is network linked to the various component subunits of the waste management system such as pH control, ion-exchange control, tank level control, etc. Next, are the recovery/treatment processes themselves. The final tier is a monitoring system which controls both the performance of the treatment systems and the discharge assurance of the plant effluent...
