Modular process control with compact NMR spectroscopy - From field integration to automated data analysis
- Chemical companies must find new paths to stay productive in a rapidly changing environment. One of these is the potential of digital technologies. 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. Process safety is improved due to smaller amounts processed and the abilities of efficient heat-transfer allow for otherwise difficult-to-produce compounds. To exploit these advantages, a fully automated process control along with real-time quality control is mandatory and should be based on “chemical” information. The advances of a fully automated NMR analyzer were demonstrated, using a given pharmaceutical reaction step operated within a modular pilot plant. A commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer was integrated to the requirements of an automated chemical production environment such as explosion safety, field communication, and robust data evaluation.Chemical companies must find new paths to stay productive in a rapidly changing environment.

A commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer was integrated to the requirements of an automated chemical production environment such as explosion safety, field communication, and robust data evaluation. Obtained results were used for direct loop advanced process control and real-time optimization of the process. NMR spectroscopy appeared as excellent online analytical tool and allowed a modular data analysis approach, which even served as reliable reference method for further PAT applications. Using the available datasets, 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. In future, such fully integrated and interconnecting “smart” systems and processes can increase the efficiency of the production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.…
