A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Compact NMR Spectroscopy: A Versatile Tool for Automated Continuous-Flow Production of Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals N2 - Chemical companies must find new paths to successfully survive in a changing environment. The potential of digital technologies belongs to these. Flexible and modular chemical plants can produce various high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short downtimes between campaigns and reduce time to market for new products. Intensified continuous production plants allow for difficult to produce compounds. Therefore, fully automated “chemical” process control along with real-time quality control are prerequisites to such concepts and thus should be based on “chemical” information. The advances of a fully automated NMR sensor were exploited, using a given pharmaceutical lithiation reaction as an example process within a modular pilot plant. A commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer was integrated to the full requirements of an automated chemical production environment such as, e.g., explosion safety, field communication, and robust evaluation of sensor data. It was thereof used for direct loop advanced process control and real-time optimization of the process. NMR appeared as preeminent online analytical tool and allowed using a modular data analysis tool, which even served as reliable reference method for further PAT applications. In future, such fully integrated and intelligently interconnecting “smart” systems and processes can speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Benchtop-NMR-Spektroskopie – Praktische Probleme in Labor- und Prozessanwendungen N2 - In den letzten Jahren erfreut sich die Benchtop-NMR-Spektroskopie steigender Beliebtheit. Zusätzlich zu Anwendungen im Labor werden die kompakten Geräte auch zunehmend in industriellen Bereichen eingesetzt. Neben geringeren Investitions- und Betriebskosten sind insbesondere die Robustheit und einfache Bedienbarkeit dieser Systeme entscheidende Faktoren. Ein prozessnaher Einsatz kann sowohl nach Probenahme im Rahmen der Betriebsanalytik erfolgen als auch als Online-Analytik mit direkter Ankopplung an Prozesse. Insbesondere bei der direkten Kopplung mittels Durchflusszellen spielt der Probentransfer eine entscheidende Rolle. Dies zeigt sich auch am Beispiel eines Extraktionsprozesses im Labormaßstab. Das in einem Bioprozess aus tierischen Altfetten hergestellte Copolymer PHB(Co-HHX) wurde in einem Batch-Prozess mit organischen Lösungsmitteln aus gefrier-getrockneten Zellen extrahiert. Unter Variation der Parameter wurde der Prozess direkt in der mehrphasigen Suspension mittels Benchtop-NMR-Spektroskopie verfolgt. Eine große Limitierung für den Einsatz als Online-Methode ist die Temperaturempfindlichkeit der Magnetsysteme. Während die Umgebungstemperatur gut kontrollierbar ist, stellt sich die Thematik der Probentemperatur komplexer dar. Bei größeren Abweichungen von der Magnettemperatur kommt es bereits nach kurzer Zeit zu Drift-Effekten, die die Lock-Systeme nur begrenzt kompensieren können. Ein Ansatz ist die Nutzung temperierter Luftströme, ähnlich bekannter VT-Einheiten ergänzt um eine aktive Isolierung zum Magneten. An einem Modellaufbau wurden dazu verschiedene Konstruktionen zunächst mittels Thermographie charakterisiert und anschließend die Anwendbarkeit in einem Prototyp-Gerät überprüft. In der rauen industriellen Umgebung von Produktionsanlagen sind weitere Maßnahmen zum Betrieb eines Laborgerätes nötig (z.B. Temperierung, Witterungsschutz). Zusätzlich bestehen häufig strikte Anforderungen an den Explosionsschutz. Zu diesem Zweck wurde gemeinsam mit der Evonik Rheinfelden eine Einhausung entwickelt, die es ermöglicht neben der NMR-Spektroskopie auch eine weitere analytische Methode möglichst flexibel direkt an großtechnische Anlagen anzubinden.

A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Benchtop NMR spectroscopy in chemical manufacturing: From hardware field integration to data modeling N2 - The use of benchtop-NMR instruments is constantly increasing during the recent years. Advantages of being affordable, portable and easy-to-operate without the need for trained staff make them especially interesting for industrial applications in quality control. However, applications of NMR spectroscopy as an online PAT tool are still very rare but offer a huge potential for process optimization and control. A key task to exploit this potential is hardware field integration of the lab-instruments in a rough environment of a chemical plant. Additionally, developments in automation and data evaluation are mandatory to ensure a robust unattended operation with low maintenance requirements. Here, we show an approach of a fully automated analyzer enclosure considering explosion safety, field communication, as well as environmental conditions in the field. Temperature sensitivity is still a limitation of benchtop-NMR instruments in flow applications. Recent developments of manufacturers allow for limited operation at static temperature levels, however, a dynamic system for continuous operation is still not available. Using a prototype system offering a larger bore, active temperature shielding studies with thermostated air were performed evaluating the performance. Automated data evaluation of NMR spectra using a modular indirect hard modeling (IHM) approach showed good results and flexibility. A second data analysis approach based on artificial neural networks (ANN) was evaluated.Therefore, amount of data was augmented to be sufficient for training. The results show comparable performance, while improving the calculation time tremendously, offering new ways to simultaneously evaluating large numbers of different models.

General quality documents are often already in place, which need to be extended by method-specific documentation. In this presentation we like to show an idea of a modular set of standard operating procedures (SOP) specifically developed meeting the requirements for quantitative NMR. The future goal is to collaborate with different accreditated NMR laboratories to compile a universal set of SOP and other quality documents that can be modified and used as a starting point for developing your own quality system for applications of qNMR in a regulated environment.

T1 - Artificial Intelligence for Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy N2 - Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) are critical components of every industrial chemical process as they provide information on the concentrations of individual compounds and by-products. These processes are carried out manually and by a specialist, which takes a substantial amount of time and prevents their utilization for real-time closed-loop process control. This paper presents recent advances from two projects that use Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to address the challenges of automation and performance-efficient realizations of MS and NMR. In the first part, a complete toolchain has been developed to develop simulated spectra and train ANNs to identify compounds in MS. In the second part, a limited number of experimental NMR spectra have been augmented by simulated spectra to train an ANN with better prediction performance and speed than state-of-theart analysis. These results suggest that, in the context of the digital transformation of the process industry, we are now on the threshold of a possible strongly simplified use of MS and MRS and the accompanying data evaluation by machine-supported procedures, and can utilize both methods much wider for reaction and process monitoring or quality control.
