Simple calibration concept of an online NMR module demonstrated in a modularised production plant
(2017)
Monitoring specific information (such as physico-chemical properties, chemical re-actions, etc.) is the key to chemical process control. Within the CONSENS Project, the challenge to adapt a commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer to the full requirements of an automated chemical production environment was tack-led. The developed online NMR module was provided in an explosion proof housing and involves a compact 43.5 MHz NMR spectrometer together with an acquisition unit, a programmable logic controller for automated triggering, flow con-trol, as well as data communication.
First results of an aromatic coupling reaction in lab scale showed a general feasibil-ity according to the signal information in the acquired NMR spectra even though with a considerable overlap. Due to the comparatively low field strength of the NMR spectrometer multivariate methods had to be considered for the prediction of con-centration profiles based on spectral data. Typically, for industrial application of those methods, e.g. Partial Least Squares Regression (PLS-R) as well as Indirect Hard Modeling, large amount of calibration data is demanded, which must be ac-quired in time consuming lab-scale experiments and offline analytics. When it comes to changes in raw materials (e.g., varying functional groups, additional stabi-lizing agents) calibration experiments and data evaluation models are developed again. Here we present an approach of automated data analysis tools for low field NMR spectra with minimal calibration effort. The algorithms are based on Indirect Hard Modeling, whereby each component in each mixture spectra can be rep-resented by several flexible peak functions (pure component models). This means, that only pure component NMR spectra are needed to generate a first evaluation model. The flexibility of peak functions in the spectral model can be adjusted via constraints of peak parameters. The area of any pure component model can either be converted to concentrations based on a one-point calibration on raw material concentration or even neat solvent signals. In several cases it has been shown, the IHM works almost independently of the matrix of the real samples. Such a calibration can be repeated daily in the beginning of each process run with minimal time effort. Moreover, additional pure components can be added to the model or even substitut-ed while keeping the previously adjusted peak function constraints. The proposed method exhibited good agreement of resulting concentration data from low field NMR spectra, when compared to an online high field NMR spectrometer as refer-ence instrument.
Monitoring chemical reactions is the key to chemical process control. Today, mainly optical online methods are applied, which are calibration intensive. NMR spectroscopy has a high potential for direct loop process control while exhibiting short set-up times. Compact NMR instruments make NMR spectroscopy accessible in industrial and harsh environments for advanced process monitoring and control.
Within the European Union’s Research Project CONSENS (Integrated CONtrol and SENsing, www.consens-spire.eu) by development and integration of a smart NMR module for process monitoring was designed and delivers online spectra of various reactions. The presented NMR module is provided in an explosion proof housing of 57 x 57 x 85 cm module size and involves a compact spectrometer together with an acquisition unit and a programmable logic controller for automated data preparation (phasing, baseline correction), and evaluation.
For reaction monitoring and process control using NMR instruments after acquisition of the FID the data needs to be corrected in real-time for common effects using fast interfaces and automated methods.
When it comes to NMR data evaluation under industrial process conditions, the shape of signals can change drastically due to nonlinear effects. Additionally, the multiplet structure becomes more dominant because of the comparably low-field strengths which results in overlapping of multiple signals. However, the structural and quantitative information is still present but needs to be extracted by applying predictive models.
We present a range of approaches for the automated spectra analysis moving from statistical approach, (i.e., Partial Least Squares Regression) to physically motivated spectral models (i.e., Indirect Hard Modelling and Quantum Mechanical calculations). By using the benefits of traditional qNMR experiments data analysis models can meet the demands of the PAT community (Process Analytical Technology) regarding low calibration effort/calibration free methods, fast adaptions for new reactants, or derivatives and robust automation schemes.
Compact nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments make NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry accessible in industrial and harsh environments for reaction and process control. An increasing number of applications are reported. To build an interdisciplinary bridge between “process control” and “compact NMR”,we give a short overviewon current developments in the field of process Engineering such as modern process design, integrated processes, intensified processes along with requirements to process control, model based control, or soft sensing. Finally, robust field integration of NMR systems into processes environments, facing explosion protection or Integration into process control systems, are briefly discussed.

Process monitoring of an intensified continuous production unit with compact NMR spectroscopy
(2016)
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 analyzers, 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 cur-rently not available off the rack. Recently, promising benchtop NMR instruments with acceptable performance came to market and process integrated sensors developed on basis of such laboratory instruments are on their way.
Online NMR spectroscopy is an excellent tool to study complex reacting multicomponent mixtures and gain process insight and understanding. For online studies under process conditions, flow NMR probes can be used in a wide range of temperature and pressure. This paper compiles the most important aspects towards quantitative process NMR spectroscopy in complex multicomponent mixtures and provides examples. After NMR spectroscopy is introduced as an online method and for technical samples without sample preparation in deuterated solvents, influences of the residence time distribution, pre-magnetization, and cell design are discussed. NMR acquisition and processing parameters as well as data preparation methods are presented and the most practical data analysis strategies are introduced.

Flexible, modulare Produktionsanlagen auf der Basis von verfahrenstechnischen Teilmodulen stellen einen vielversprechenden Ansatz für die kontinuierliche Produktion von Fein- und Spezialchemikalien dar. Der Schwerpunkt des Horizont-2020-Projekts der Europäischen Kommission CONSENS (Integrated Control and Sensing) liegt in der Implementierung von innovativen Sensorkonzepten zur Prozessüberwachung und -regelung innerhalb von containerbasierten modularen Produktionsan lagen. In diesem Artikel wird die Feldintegration eines Online-NMR-Sensors als smartes Modul für die Prozesskontrolle beschrieben. Dieses Modul basiert auf einem kommerziell erhältlichen Niederfeld-NMRSpektrometer, das zurzeit für die Anwendung im Laborbereich erhältlich ist. Für die Feldintegration wurde ein ATEX-zertifiziertes, explosionsgeschütztes Gehäuse entwickelt sowie Automationsschemen für den unbeaufsichtigten Betrieb und für die spektrale Datenauswertung erstellt. Nachdem die Machbarkeit und Leistungsfähigkeit des Sensorkonzeptes in Laborexperimente an einer aromatischen Substitutionsreaktion bereits erfolgreich demonstriert wurde, ist die Inbetriebnahme des NMR-Sensormoduls in
industrieller Umgebung für 2017 geplant.
Currently research in chemical manufacturing moves towards flexible plug-and-play approaches focusing on modular plants, capable of producing small scales on-demand with short down-times between individual cam-paigns. This approach allows for efficient use of hardware, a faster optimization of the process conditions, and thus, an accelerated introduction of new products to the market. Driven mostly by the search for chemical syntheses under biocompatible conditions, so-called “click” chemistry rapidly became a growing field of research. The re-sulting simple one-pot reactions are so far only scarcely accompanied by an adequate optimization via compara-bly straightforward and robust analysis techniques. Here we report on a fast and reliable calibration-free online high field NMR monitoring approach for technical mixtures. It combines a versatile fluidic system, continuous-flow measurement with a time interval of 20 s per spectrum, and a robust, automated algo-rithm to interpret the ob-tained data. All spectra were acquired using a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer (Varian) with a dual band flow probe having a 1/16 inch polymer tubing working as a flow cell. Single scan 1H spectra were recorded with an acquisition time of 5 s, relaxation delay of 15 s.

Online low-field NMR spectroscopy of an industrial lithiation reaction step for process control
(2016)
Online monitoring and process control requires fast and noninvasive analytical methods, which are able to monitor the concentration of reactants in multicomponent mixtures with parts-per-million resolution. Online NMR spectroscopy can meet these demands when flow probes are directly coupled to reactors, since this method features a high linearity between absolute signal area and sample concentration, which makes it an absolute analytical comparison method being independent on the matrix. Due to improved magnet design and field shimming strategies portable and robust instruments have been introduced to the market by several manufacturers during the last few years. First studies with this technology showed promising results to monitor chemical reaction in the laboratory.
Within the project CONSENS, the continuous production of high-value products in small production scale is advanced by introducing benchtop NMR spectroscopy. CONSENS is a research and innovation project on integrated control and sensing for sustainable operation of flexible intensified processes.
This poster will present the first steps of the process integration of a benchtop NMR instrument for a lithiation process and outlines further fields of activity and potential challenges. Hereby, the following issues are going to be addressed: explosion-proof housing for the spectrometer, automation of signal processing (data pretreatment, evaluation and communication to the control system), flow cells and measuring conditions. Furthermore, first online spectra of the lithiation reaction in batch mode were acquired in lab scale. The reaction was performed in a 25 mL glass reactor with thermal jackets for temperature control of the reaction mixture. The Li-HMDS was dosed stepwise by using a glass syringe. First spectra in the proton and fluorine domain were recorded online using a flowrate of 3.5 mL min–1 and a simple 5 mm polytetrafluoroethylene tube (PTFE) as a flow cell.
