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. Monitoring specific information (i.e., “chemical” such as physico-chemical properties, chemical reactions, etc.) is the key to “chemical” process control.
The talk introduces a smart online NMR sensor module provided in an explosion proof housing as example. This sensor was developed for an intensified industrial process (pharmaceutical lithiation reaction step) funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (www.consens-spire.eu). Due to NMR spectroscopy as an “absolute analytical comparison method”, independent of the matrix, it runs with extremely short set-up times in combination with “modular” spectral models. Such models can simply be built upon pure component NMR spectra within a few hours (i.e., assignment of the NMR signals to the components) instead of tedious calibrations runs.
Industry 4.0, IIoT, or Lab 4.0 will enable us to handle more complex processes in shorter time. Intensified production concepts require for adaptive analytical instruments and control technology to realize short set-up times, modular control strategies. They are based on a digitized Laboratory 4.0.
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies need to find new ways to survive successfully in a changing environment, while finding more flexible ways of product and process development to bring their products to market faster - especially high-value, high-end products such as fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals. This is complicated by changes in value chains along a potential circular economy.
One current approach is flexible and modular chemical production units that use multi-purpose equipment to produce various high-value products with short downtimes between campaigns and can shorten time-to-market for new products. Online NMR spectroscopy will play an important role for plant automation and quality control, as the method brings very high linearity, matrix independence and thus works almost calibration-free. Moreover, these properties ideally enable automated and machine-aided data analysis for the above-mentioned applications.
Using examples, this presentation will outline a possible more holistic approach to digitalization and the use of machine-based processes in the production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals through the introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes.
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. Monitoring specific information (i.e., “chemical” such as physico-chemical properties, chemical reactions, etc.) is the key to “chemical” process control. Here we introduce our smart online NMR sensor module provided in an explosion proof housing as example.
Due to NMR spectroscopy as an “absolute analytical comparison method”, independent of the matrix, it runs with extremely short set-up times in combination with “modular” spectral models. Such models can simply be built upon pure component NMR spectra within a few hours (i.e., assignment of the NMR signals to the components) instead of tedious calibrations runs. 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).
Based on concentration measurements of reagents and products by the NMR analyzer a continuous production and direct loop process control were successfully realized for several validation runs in a modular industrial pilot plant and compared to conventional analytical methods (HPLC, near infrared spectroscopy). The NMR analyser was developed for an intensified industrial process funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (“Integrated CONtrol and SENsing”, www.consens-spire.eu).
Modular chemical production is a tangible implementation of the digital transformation of the specialty chemicals process industry. In particular, it enables acceleration of process development and thus faster time to market by flexibly interconnecting and orchestrating standardized physical modules and bringing them to life. For this purpose, specific (chemical) sensors of process analytics are needed, preferably without lengthy calibration or spectroscopic model development.
An excellent example of a "direct" analytical method is online nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR spectroscopy meets the requirements of a direct analytical method because of the direct correlation between the signal area in the spectrum ("counting" the nuclear spins) and the analyte amount of substance concentrations. It is also extremely linear over the concentration range.
With the availability of compact benchtop NMR instruments, it is now possible to bring NMR spectroscopy directly into the field, in close proximity to specialized laboratory facilities, pilot plants, and even industrial-scale production facilities. The first systems are in TRL 8 (Qualified System with Proof of Functionality in the Field).
The presentation will discuss the many building blocks of online nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, from flow cells to automated data analysis.
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 down-times 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.
Recently, AI procedures have also been successfully used for NMR data evaluation. In order to overcome the typical limitation of too small data sets from process developments, a new method was tested, which allows a physically motivated multiplication of the available reference data together with context information in order to obtain a sufficiently large data set for the training of machine learning algorithms.
In future, such fully integrated and intelligently interconnecting “smart” systems and processes can speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Due to recent advances in technical developments of NMR instruments such as acquisition electronics and probe design, detection limits of components in liquid mixtures were improved into the lower ppm range (approx. 5–10 ppm amount of substance). This showed that modern NMR equipment is also suitable for the observation of hydrocarbon samples in the expanded fluid phase or gas phase. Since Quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) is a direct ratio method of analysis without the need of calibration it was used to determine impurities in appropriate liquid and liquefied hydrocarbon isomers up to C6, which are used for preparation of primary gas standards, e.g., natural gas or exhaust gas standards. At the same time it is possible to yield structural information with a minimum of sample preparation. Thus, cross contaminations between different isomers of the observed hydrocarbons and their (NMR-active) impurities can be identified and quantified.
In general, most quantitative organic chemical measurements rely on the availability of highly purified compounds to act as calibration standards. The traceability and providence of these standards is an essential component of any measurement uncertainty budget and provides the final link of the result to the units of measurement, ideally the SI. The more recent increase in the use of qNMR for the direct assessment of chemical purity however can potentially improve the traceability and reduce the uncertainty of the measured chemical purity at a reduced cost and with less material. For example the method has beneficially been used by National Measurement institutes for recent CCQM comparisons including the CCQM–K55 series of purity studies.
Traditional ‘indirect’ methods of purity analysis require that all impurities are identified and quantified, leading to a minimum of 4 individual analytical methods (organic impurities, water, solvents, inorganic residue). These multiple technique approaches measure an array of different chemical impurities normally present in purified organic chemical compounds. As many analytical methodologies have compound-specific response factors, the accuracy and traceability of the purity assessment is dependent on the availability of reference materials of the impurities being available.
qNMR provides the most universally applicable form of direct purity determination without need for reference materials of impurities or the calculation of response factors but only exhibiting suitable NMR properties. The development of CRMs addressing qNMR specific measurement issues will give analysts compounds ideally suited for the analytical method and also provide full characterisation of qNMR related parameters to enable more realistic uncertainty budgets. These materials will give users the tools to exploit qNMR more easily and enable them to speed up analytical method development and reduce the time and financial burden of multiple analytical testing.

The first initiative towards a worldwide agreement goes back to a panel discussion at PANIC 2014 (Practical Applications of NMR in Industry Conference) in Chicago. Since that, the Validation Workshop takes place following the PANIC Conference each year, last in 2017 with a turnout of over 50 people. The group aims at identifying a network of NMR people concerned with validation that can ultimately assist each other through the validation process, harmonize the terminology and a standard approach for NMR validations and position the guidelines produced by consensus of the NMR community so that accreditation agencies can use this process.

Homogen katalysierte Reaktionsschritte sind ein wichtiges Werkzeug in der chemischen Industrie. Durch die milden Reaktionsbedingungen hinsichtlich Temperatur und Druck bei gleichzeitig hoher Selektivität bieten diese die Möglichkeit energieeffizienter und ressourcenschonender Produktionsschritte. Eine der wichtigsten industriellen Anwendungen bildet die Hydroformylierung. Hier besteht das Katalysatorsystem meist aus Übergangsmetallkomplexen, vorwiegend Kobalt und Rhodium, die zur Steuerung der Selektivität und Löslichkeit mit mehrzähnigen Liganden koordiniert sind. Diese Komplexe liegen für eine effiziente Katalysator-rückführung in wässriger Lösung vor, was jedoch die Anwendbarkeit auf kurzkettige Edukte mit hinreichender Wasserlöslichkeit beschränkt.
Ein möglicher Lösungsansatz für die Verwendung langkettiger Alkene ist die Umsetzung der Reaktion in einer Mikroemulsion. Durch die gesteigerte Phasen-grenzfläche besteht ein effektiver Kontakt von Katalysator und Reaktanden bei gleichzeitiger Möglichkeit der Produktseparation durch Phasentrennung, während der Katalysator dem Reaktionsschritt zurückgeführt wird und das Verfahren damit wirtschaftlich macht.
Am Beispiel der Reaktion von 1-Dodecen zu Tridecanal wird der Einsatz von Online-NMR- und -Raman-Spektroskopie für die Prozessanalytik (sowie Applikation von komplexen Regelungskonzepten) innerhalb eines mizellaren Systems demonstriert. Ein speziell konzipierter Laboraufbau ermöglicht die Durchführung von Experimenten unter Prozessbedingungen für die in Mikroemulsionen äußerst anspruchsvolle Entwicklung und Kalibrierung von multivariaten Modellen für die Raman-Spektroskopie. Diese konnten anschließend im Rahmen einer mehrtägigen Betriebs-studie einer Miniplant am realen technischen System erprobt werden.

The talk briefly summarises the outcome of the former PANIC Validation Workshops (2015, 2016, and 2017) as well as the recent satellite meetings including the qNMR meeting held at Spectral Service in Cologne, Germany (June 2016), a validation workshop at SMASH (La Jolla, USA, September 2016), the qNMR Summit with USP in Rockville, USA (October 2016), the qNMR Summit at BAM in Berlin, Germany (March 2017), and the qNMR Minisymposium at SMASH in Baveno, Italy (September 2017).
Upcoming activities will be a qNMR Summit held by JP and JEOL in Tokyo, Japan (January 29th-30th, 2018) and a qNMR Summit at the University of Würzburg, Germany (planned for October 2018). The next PANIC takes place March 4th-8th, 2018 in La Jolla (San Diego), CA, USA.

For example, the method has beneficially been used by National Metrology Institutes for comparisons including comparisons on CCQM (Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance: Metrology in Chemistry and Biology, www.bipm.org). First comparisons started 1998 with CCQM-P3 (Organics in solution) or CCQM-P35 (2002, EtOH in solution), were underpinned by a broad range of polarity and molecular size (CCQM–K55 series of purity studies including Valine, Aldrin, or Folic acid) and were continued with the recent pilot studies CCQM-P150 (2014, purity of Dimethyl sulfone) or CCQM-P150b (2017, purity of Pyributicarb).
