Im Zuge der Digitalisierung der Prozessindustrie werden zunehmend modellbasiere Echtzeitoptimierungsverfahren eingesetzt, sog. „Advanced Process Control“. Mithilfe der sogenannten Modifier-Adaptation ist eine iterative Betriebspunktoptimierung auch mit ungenauen Modellen möglich, sofern zuverlässige Prozessdaten zur Verfügung stehen. Am Beispiel eines smarten Online-NMR-Sensors, der in einem EU-Projekt von der BAM entwickelt wurde, konnte das Konzept in einer modularen Produktionsanlage zur Herstellung eines pharmazeutischen Wirkstoffs erfolgreich getestet werden.
Monitoring chemical reactions is the key to chemical process control. Today, mainly optical online methods are applied. NMR spectroscopy has a high potential for direct loop process control. Compact NMR instruments based on permanent magnets are robust and relatively inexpensive analysers, which feature advantages like low cost, low maintenance, ease of use, and cryogen-free operation. Instruments for online NMR measurements equipped with a flow-through cell, possessing a good signal-to-noise-ratio, sufficient robustness, and meeting the requirements for integration into industrial plants (i.e., explosion safety and fully automated data analysis) are currently not available off the rack.
Intensified continuous processes are in focus of current research. Flexible (modular) chemical plants can produce different products using the same equipment with short down-times between campaigns and quick introduction of new products to the market. In continuous flow processes online sensor data and tight closed-loop control of the product quality are mandatory. If these are not available, there is a huge risk of producing large amounts of out-of-spec (OOS) products. This is addressed in the European Union’s Research Project CONSENS (Integrated Control and Sensing [3]) by development and integration of smart sensor modules for process monitoring and control within such modular plant setups.
The presented NMR module is provided in an explosion proof housing of 57 x 57 x 85 cm module size and involves a compact 43.5 MHz NMR spectrometer together with an acquisition unit and a programmable logic controller for automated data preparation (phasing, baseline correction) and evaluation. Indirect Hard Modeling (IHM) was selected for data analysis of the low-field NMR spectra. A set-up for monitoring continuous reactions in a thermostated 1/8” tubular reactor using automated syringe pumps was used to validate the IHM models by using high-field NMR spectroscopy as analytical reference method.
Ugly Spectra and Lousy interfaces – Challenges for Compact NMR Spectroscopy in Process Control
(2016)
With the introduction of advanced process analytical technology, the closeness of key process variables to their limits can be directly controlled and the product can be classified or even released in real time.
Compact NMR instruments can make NMR spectroscopy accessible in industrial and harsh environments for process control.
Low field NMR spectroscopy for sustainable and flexible production of high quality chemical products
(2017)
The main development goal of process industries is to advance the continuous production of high-value products that meet high quality demands in flexible intensified continuous plants by introducing novel online sensing equipment and closed-loop control (CONSENS – integrated control and sensing- is funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme). Therefore, we present the field integration of a benchtop NMR instrument into a modular production environment, focussing on suitable equipment for operation in hazardous areas with risk of explosive atmospheres.
We investigated a pharmaceutical reaction step in order to describe challenges for the experimental design, the evaluation of complex NMR spectra and demonstrate automated data analysis tools.

Berichtet wird über die automatisierte und spektral-modellgestützte Datenauswertung quantitativer Online-NMR-Spektren von technischen Systemen, die einen grundlegenden Beitrag zum Thematik Smart Sensors im Sinne kalibrierarmer bzw. kalibrierfreier Verfahren liefern.
Die quantitative Online-NMR-Spektroskopie ist besonders reizvoll für diese Thematik: Sie kommt durch den direkten Nachweis der Kernspins ohne Kalibrierung aus und arbeitet auch in Konzentrationsrandbereichen äußerst linear. Als „absolute Vergleichsmethode“ (direkte Proportionalität der Signale zu den Stoffmengen innerhalb eines Spektrums) ist die NMR-Spektroskopie für die durchgeführten Grundlagenuntersuchungen im Zusammenhang mit spektralen Modellen prädestiniert.

The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug-and-play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. Smart sensors enable concepts like self-diagnostics, self-calibration, and self-configuration/parameterization whenever our current automation landscape allows it. Here we summarize the currently discussed general requirements for process sensors 4.0 and introduce a smart online NMR sensor module as example, which was developed for an intensified industrial process funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (www.consens-spire.eu).
For reaction monitoring and process control using NMR instruments, in particular, after acquisition of the FID the data needs to be corrected in real-time for common effects using fast interfaces and automated methods. Conventionally, sensors have to be calibrated in a first step to find a response curve between the sensor signal and physical or chemical properties of the sample. In a second step, a model of the response between these parameters (e.g., concentrations) and the targeted quality specifications is needed. Thanks to the direct proportionality of the molar concentrations and the NMR signal, it could directly be used in the near future to relate the process target quality specification to sensor data – also in combination with multiple other sensor or process information.
