Die BAM setzt in ihren analytischen Labors zunehmend Labor-Robotik ein, um gefähliche oder zeitraubende Routineaufgaben zu automatisieren. Durch Automation kann auch die Reproduzierbarkeit solcher Anwendungen erhöht werden.
Im Beitrag werden einige aktuelle Beispiele aus den Analytiklabors diskutiert, wie z. B. die Anwendung für die Herstellung und RFA-Analytik von Gläsern, eine Feinwäge-Robotik für 10-L-Gaszylinder im Rahmen der Herstellung von Primärnormalen oder die Automatisierung von Probenpräsentationen für optische Spektroskopie und chemical Imaging. Auch wird kurz auf den Einsatz von Speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerungen in der modularen Laborautomation und die Virtualisierung von analytischen Laborrechnern eingengangen.
Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM – Safeguarding the Quality Infrastructure in the Hydrogen Economy
(2022)
Hydrogen is a central component of the energy transition and the European Green Deal for a climate-neutral Europe. To achieve the goals defined for 2050, the EU and the German government have developed a framework for action and are making long-term investments in research, development, and the rapid implementation of innovative hydrogen technologies.
With the Competence Centre "H2Safety@BAM", BAM is creating the safety-related prerequisites for the successful implementation of hydrogen technologies at national as well as European level.
To this end, BAM conducts research, testing and consulting in a holistic and inter-disciplinary manner under one roof – in the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM. The activities of the competence centre focus on ensuring the safety of infra-structures, plants, and processes as well as innovative hydrogen transport and storage systems based on digital quality testing and the experimental testing of components and systems. It thus creates the prerequisites for the implementation and adaptation of legal framework conditions as well as for standardization. Closely related to this are investigations into the properties and compatibility of metallic materials and polymers as well as friction systems for the safe operation of components, plants, processes, and systems. This interdisciplinary and holistic approach is complemented by the development of gas analytics and suitable sensors, online measurements of gas properties in process control, test scenarios under real conditions as well as impact assessments of accidents and risk assessments and risk management systems derived from them. With its portfolio of tasks and competences, BAM builds trust in the safety and reliability of technical system solutions for hydrogen.
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies have to find new paths to survive successfully in a changing environment, while also finding more flexible ways of product and process development to bring their products to market more quickly – especially high-quality high-end products like fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals. A current approach uses flexible and modular chemical production units, which can produce different high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short downtimes between campaigns and reduce the time to market of new products.
NMR spectroscopy appeared as excellent online analytical tool and allowed a modular data analysis approach, which even served as reliable reference method for further Process Analytical Technology (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.
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.
Due to its advantages of being a direct comparison method, quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) becomes more and more popular in industry. While conventional high-field NMR systems are often associated with high investment and operational costs, the upcoming market of permanent-magnet based benchtop NMR systems show a considerable option for a lot of applications. The mobility of these systems allows to bring them more closely to the real production environment, e.g. for at-line quality control.
In this work we present an interlaboratory comparison study investigating the qNMR performance of state-of-the-art benchtop NMR spectrometers. Therefore, BAM prepared two samples of a mixture of NMR reference standards tetramethylbenzene (TMB) and tetrachloronitrobenzene (TCNB) at concentration levels of 200 mM and 10 mM. These “ready-to-use” samples were sent to participant laboratories, which performed analysis on their benchtop NMR equipment of different vendors and fields from 43 to 80 MHz. Raw data was reported back and further investigated by using different data analysis methods at BAM.
After this very first qNMR comparison study of benchtop NMR spectrometers show promising results, following studies are planned to cover more parts of the qNMR process, e.g. sample preparation and weighing, but also data analysis, as commonly done in similar studies for high-field NMR spectroscopy in industry and metrology.
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.
The competitiveness of the process industry is based on ensuring the required product quality while making optimum use of equipment, raw materials and energy. Chemical companies have to find new paths to survive successfully in a changing environment, while also finding more flexible ways of product and process development to bring their products to market more quickly – especially high-quality high-end products like fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals. The potential of digital technologies belongs to these.
One way is knowledge-based production, taking into account all essential equipment, process and regulatory data of plants and laboratories. Today, the potential of this data is often not yet consistently used for a comprehensive understanding of production. Another approach uses flexible and modular chemical plants, which can produce different high-quality products using multi-purpose equipment with short downtimes between campaigns and reduce the time to market of new products. Digital transformation is enabling completely new production concepts that are being used increasingly. Intensified continuous production plants also allow for difficult to produce compounds.
This contribution aims to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalization and use of machine-assisted methods in (bio) process engineering by introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes, which have the potential to speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
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.
Von der zunehmenden Digitalisierung sind alle Bereiche von Wirtschaft, Industrie und Gesellschaft betroffen. Die Digitalisierung führt zu einer verstärkten virtuellen Nutzung von Ressourcen und zu einer hochdynamischen Entwicklung der zugehörigen Forschungs- und Technologiefelder. Neue Technologien sind die Basis für die erfolgreiche Weiterentwicklung des Wirtschaftsstandortes Deutschland und für eine Wertschöpfung in globalen Märkten. Die nachhaltige Sicherheit neuer Technologien schafft das Vertrauen der Bürger in den Wandel und sichert unsere Zukunft.
Im Vortrag werden Anforderungen und Lösungsvorschläge für das Labor der Zukunft diskutiert. Industrie 4.0 bzw. das Labor 4.0 hilft uns, komplexere Prozesse schneller umzusetzen. Entwicklung von Anlagen und Prozessen beginnt im Labor 4.0. Dazu werden offene, nicht proprietäre Schnittstellen und Standards bei Laborgeräten und Feldgeräten dringend benötigt. Der Standard OPC-UA wird derzeit als gesetzt gesehen. Als nächstes ist die Festlegung der Semantik (Companion Specification) erfordert. Als Bitte an die Zulieferer und Geräterhersteller wird gerichtet, möglichst keine Alleingänge hinsichtlich Schnittstellen, Standards oder GUI zu unternehmen, sondern diese mit den Anwendern abzustimmen. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich das in Industrie 4.0 geforderte "durchgehende Engineering“.
Die Sicherung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Standorts Deutschland/Europa ergibt sich dann gleich in doppelter Hinsicht: Sichere, verfügbare und effiziente Herstellung international wettbewerbsfähiger Produkte für die Anwender sowie weltweiter Export von Mess- und Regeltechnik für die Messtechnikbranche.
Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Prozessindustrie basiert auf der Sicherung der geforderten Produktqualität bei einer optimalen Nutzung von Anlagen, Rohstoffen und Energie. Ein Weg zur wissensbasierten Produktion führt über die Betrachtung der wesentlichen Apparate-, Prozess- und Freigabedaten aus Betrieben und Labors. Das Potenzial dieser Daten wird heute vielfach noch nicht konsequent für ein umfassendes Verständnis der Produktion genutzt.
Neben Fragen zur Datenerfassung, Datenkonnektivität und Datenintegrität müssen solche Daten für eine ganzheitliche Prozessanalyse zunächst mit Kontextinformationen zusammengebracht werden. Datenquellen enthalten Zeitwertpaare, aber auch diskrete Daten aus LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) oder ELN (Electronic Laboratory Notebooks) und werden zunehmend durch 2D- und 3D-Daten aus der Chromatographie-Massenspektrometrie oder bildbasierter Analytik ergänzt.
Für die automatisierte Merkmalsextraktion, etwa zur Extraktion chemischer Informationen aus den oben genannten Datenquellen werden multivariate Werkzeuge und Algorithmen genutzt. Multivariate Statistiken wie PCA (Principle Component Analysis), PLS (Partial Least Squares) und LDA (Latent Discriminant Analysis) bilden die erste Grundlage für die Datenanalyse. Für diese Verfahren sind heute Datenvorbehandlungsschritte nötig. Die Modellbildung geschieht manuell und ist sehr aufwendig.
Können diese Daten im Zeitalter von ML (Machine Learning) und KI (Artificial Intelligence) anderweitig sinnvoll genutzt werden und ohne klassische Modellbildung? Die Bezeichnung „Big Data“ als Voraussetzung für datengetriebene Auswerteverfahren ist für die Prozessindustrie allerdings unpassend, denn auch bei mengenmäßig großen Datensätzen liegen für Kampagnen typischerweise nur Informationen über einige Batches mit einer Serie von Messdaten vor, die genügend Varianz für eine datengetriebene Auswertung aufweisen – nicht vergleichbar mit den Datenmengen im WWW oder von großen Internet-Konzernen.

Neben Fragen zur Datenerfassung, Datenkonnektivität und Datenintegrität müssen solche Daten für eine ganzheitliche Prozessanalyse zunächst mit Kontextinformationen zusammengebracht werden. Datenquellen enthalten vor allem Zeitwertpaare, die numerisch vorbehandelt und möglichst vollautomatisch ausgewertet werden müssen. Am Beispiel NMR-spektroskopischer Daten wird der Stand der Auswertung mit physikalisch motivierten Modellen, wie z. B. dem IHM erläutert.

Intelligent sensor systems, certified reference materials and instrumental analytical-chemical methods contribute to safety and functionality in hydrogen technologies.
This article gives a brief overview of SensRef activities in the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM on the issues: Analytical methods for the determination of hydrogen purity, certified reference materials as measurement standards with regard to gas quality (primary calibrators) of BAM, test methods for gas sensor systems to detect hydrogen in air as well as the application of fibre-optic sensor systems to monitor the expansion and ageing behaviour of composite containers in hydrogen technologies.
Unternehmen der Prozessindustrie müssen neue Wege finden, um in einem sich wandelnden Umfeld erfolgreich zu überleben, und gleichzeitig flexiblere Wege der Produkt- und Prozessentwicklung finden, um ihre Produkte schneller auf den Markt zu bringen – insbesondere hochwertige, hochwertige Produkte wie Feinchemikalien oder Arzneimittel. Dies wird zukünftig durch Veränderungen in den Wertschöpfungsketten entlang einer potenziellen Kreislaufwirtschaft erschwert.
Anhand von Beispielen wird in diesem Vortrag ein möglicher ganzheitlicher Ansatz zur Digitalisierung und zum Einsatz maschineller Verfahren in der Produktion von Spezialchemikalien durch die Einführung integrierter und vernetzter Systeme und Prozesse skizziert.
Es wird auch auf die aktuelle Technologie-Roadmap „Prozess-Sensoren 2027+“ eingegangen, die Ende 2021 erschienen ist. Im Zentrum dieser Roadmaps stehen Sensoren zur Erfassung von physikalischen und chemischen Messgrößen mittels spezifischer und unspezifischer Messverfahren, die zur Steuerung und dem besseren Verständnis von Prozessen dienen. Die Roadmap fasst die gemeinsame Technologie- und Marktsicht von Anwendern, Herstellern und Forschungs¬einrichtungen im Bereich Prozess-Sensorik in der verfahrenstechnischen Industrie zusammen. Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit sind übergreifende Kernthemen der künftigen Entwicklung.
Um in einem veränderten Umfeld erfolgreich bestehen zu können, müssen Chemieunternehmen neue Pfade beschreiten. Dazu gehört insbesondere das Potential digitaler Technologien. Mit flexiblen, modularen chemischen Vielzweck-Produktionsanlagen lassen sich häufig wechselnde Produkte mit kürzeren Vorlauf- und Stillstandzeiten zwischen den Kampagnen und dennoch hoher Qualität realisieren. Intensivierte, kontinuierliche Produktionsanlagen erlauben auch den Umgang mit schwierig zu handhabenden Substanzen.
Grundvoraussetzung für solche Konzepte ist eine hochautomatisierte "chemische" Prozesskontrolle zusammen mit Echtzeit-Qualitätskotrolle, die "chemische" Informationen über den Prozess bereitstellt. In einem Anwendungsbeispiel wurde eine pharmazeutische Lithiierungsreaktion aus einer modularen Pilot-Anlage betrachtet und dabei die Vorzüge eines vollautomatischen NMR-Sensors untersucht. Dazu wurde ein kommerziell erhältliches Benchtop-NMR-Spektrometer mit Permanentmagnet auf die industriellen Anforderungen, wie Explosionsschutz, Feldkommunikation und vollautomatischer, robuster Datenauswertung angepasst. Der NMR-Sensor konnte schließlich erfolgreich im vollautomatischen Betrieb nach fortschrittlichen Regelkonzepten und für die Echtzeitoptimierung der Anlage getestet werden. Die NMR-Spektroskopie erwies sich als hervorragende Online-Methode und konnte zusammen mit einer modularen Datenauswertung sehr flexibel genutzt werden. Die Methode konnte überdies als zuverlässige Referenzmethode zur Kalibrierung konventioneller Online-Analytik eingesetzt werden.
Zukünftig werden voll integrierte und intelligent vernetzte "smarte" Sensoren und Prozesse eine kontinuierliche Produktion von Chemikalien und Pharmazeutika mit vertretbaren Qualitätskosten möglich machen.
Companies in the chemical industry have to tread new paths in order to survive successfully in a changed environment. This includes, in particular, the potential of digital technologies. The full integration and intelligent networking of systems and processes is making slow progress.
This talk is a tribute to the field level. It wants to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalisation of the process industry based on smart sensors, actuators and communication and provides information on current technical perspectives, such as the "one-network paradigm", ad-hoc networking, edge computing, FPGAs, virtual machines or blockchain. These give smart sensors, actuators and communication a completely new perspective.
ISO/IEC 17025 is the worldwide quality standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It is the basis for accreditation by an accreditation body. The current version was published in 2018.
Implementing ISO/IEC 17025 as part of laboratory quality initiatives offers both laboratory and business benefits, such as expanding the potential customer base for testing and/or calibration, increasing the reputation and image of the laboratory at national and international level, continuous improvement of the data quality and the effectiveness of the laboratory or creation of a good basis for most other quality systems in the laboratory sector, such as GxP. The main difference between a proper approach to analysis and a formal accreditation is shown in a targeted documentation, especially on the qualification of the personnel, the test equipment and the validation of the analytical methods.
Using quantitative NMR spectroscopy as an example, it is shown how accreditation can be carried out and what documentation is required. In our case, we have described the procedure in an SOP ("Determination of the quantitative composition of simple mixtures of structurally known compounds with 1H-NMR spectroscopy") and supported it with a modular system of organizational and equipment SOPs. The special feature is that the accredited method is independent for the choice of the analyte and the matrix and therefore it is possible to operate with a single validated method. In our case, we have proposed three quality levels ("leagues") with different levels of analytical effort, which differ in their measurement uncertainty, in order to simplify the workflow and analysis design.
Messverfahren für Wasserstoff: Qualität durch Zertifizierung – Standortvorteile in Deutschland
(2021)
Die Veranstaltungsreihe "Neue Märkte erschließen – mit Normen und Standards hoch hinaus", die vom DIN gemeinsam mit der NOW GmbH organisiert wird, richtets sich vorwiegend an KMUs. Fokus der Veranstaltung sind Messverfahren für Wasserstoff. Der Beitrag der BAM führt sehr kurz die Rolle nationaler und internationaler Normung sowie weltweiter Metrologie im Rahmen der Meterkonvention bezüglich analytischer Qualitätssicherung und Zertifizierung von Gasen und Referenzmaterialien ein. Es werden aktuelle Beispiele für die Qualitätssicherung von Wasserstoff, mögliche dazu notwendige Ausrüstung und weiterführende Literaturquellen vorgestellt.
The prerequisites for a successful energy transition and the economic use of hydrogen as a clean green energy carrier and for H2 readiness are a rapid market ramp-up and the establishment of the required value chains. Reliable quality and safety standards for innovative technologies are the prerequisite for ensuring supply security, for environmental compatibility and sustainable climate protection, for building trust in these technologies and thus enable product and process innovations.
With the Competence Centre "H2Safety@BAM", BAM is creating the safety-related prere-quisites for the successful implementation of hydrogen technologies at national as well as European level. BAM uses decades of experience in dealing with hydrogen technologies to develop the necessary quality and safety standards.
The presentation will draw a bow from the typical basic tasks of BAM in the field of competence "Sensors, analytics and certified reference materials", such as maintenance and dissemination of the national gas composition standards for calorific value determination as Designated Institute for Metrology in Chemistry within the framework of the Metre Convention, to the further development of measurement and sensor technology for these tasks. For the certification of reference materials, a mostly slow and time-consuming but solid reference analysis is common. With hydrogen and its special properties, completely new requirements are added. In addition, fast and simple online analysis is required for process control, for example to register quality changes, e.g., during load changes or refuelling processes.
Um in einem veränderten Umfeld erfolgreich bestehen zu können, müssen Chemieunternehmen neue Pfade beschreiten. Dazu gehört insbesondere das Potential digitaler Technologien. Die volle Integration und intelligente Vernetzung von Systemen und Prozessen kommt zögerlich voran.
Dieser Vortrag ist ein Loblied auf die Feldebene. Er möchte dazu ermutigen, die Digitalisierung der Prozessindustrie auf Basis smarter Sensorik, Aktorik und Kommunikation ganzheitlicher zu denken und informiert über aktuelle technische Perspektiven, wie das „Ein-Netzwerk-Paradigma“, Ad-hoc-Vernetzungen, Edge-Computing, FPGAs, virtuelle Maschinen oder Blockchain. Diese geben smarter Sensorik, Aktorik und Kommunikation eine völlig neue Perspektive.

Intensified continuous production plants allow for difficult to produce compounds.

As an example, a fully automated NMR sensor is introduced, using a given pharmaceutical lithiation reaction as an example process within a modular pilot plant. Therefore, a commercially available benchtop NMR spectrometer was adapted to the full requirements of an automated chemical production environment such as, e.g., explosion safety, field communication, and robust evaluation of sensor data.

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.
A full integration and intelligent interconnection of such systems and processes progresses only hesitantly. The talk should encourage to re-think digitization of process industry based on smart sensors, actuators, and communication more comprehensively and informs about current technical perspectives such as the “one-network paradigm”, edge computing, or virtual machines. These give smart sensors, actuators, and communication a new perspective.

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.
The talk also generally covers current aspects of high-field and low-field online NMR spectroscopy for reaction monitoring and process control and gives also an overview on direct dissolution studies of API cocrystals.

Um in einem veränderten Umfeld erfolgreich bestehen zu können, müssen Chemieunternehmen neue Pfade beschreiten. Dazu gehört insbesondere das Potential digitaler Technologien. Mit flexiblen, modularen chemischen Vielzweck-Produktionsanlagen lassen sich häufig wechselnde Produkte mit kürzeren Vorlauf- und Stillstandzeiten zwischen den Kampagnen und dennoch hoher Qualität realisieren. Intensivierte, kontinuierliche Produktionsanlagen erlauben auch den Umgang mit schwierig zu handhabenden Substanzen.
Grundvoraussetzung für solche Konzepte ist eine hochautomatisierte "chemische" Prozesskontrolle zusammen mit Echtzeit-Qualitätskotrolle, die "chemische" Informationen über den Prozess bereitstellt. In einem Anwendungsbeispiel wurde eine pharmazeutische Lithiierungsreaktion aus einer modularen Pilot-Anlage betrachtet und dabei die Vorzüge eines vollautomatischen NMR-Sensors untersucht. Dazu wurde ein kommerziell erhältliches Benchtop-NMR-Spektrometer mit Permanentmagnet auf die industriellen Anforderungen, wie Explosionsschutz, Feldkommunikation und vollautomatischer, robuster Datenauswertung angepasst. Der NMR-Sensor konnte schließlich erfolgreich im vollautomatischen Betrieb nach fortschrittlichen Regelkonzepten und für die Echtzeitoptimierung der Anlage getestet werden. Die NMR-Spektroskopie erwies sich als hervorragende Online-Methode und konnte zusammen mit einer modularen Datenauswertung sehr flexibel genutzt werden. Die Methode konnte überdies als zuverlässige Referenzmethode zur Kalibrierung konventioneller Online-Analytik eingesetzt werden.
Zukünftig werden voll integrierte und intelligent vernetzte "smarte" Sensoren und Prozesse eine kontinuierliche Produktion von Chemikalien und Pharmazeutika mit vertretbaren Qualitätskosten möglich machen.
In 2018, BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) and the young analysts of the department Analytical Chemistry at the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (German Chemical Society, GDCh) jointly organized the second summer school on quality assurance in analytical chemistry in Berlin, Germany. Over fifty doctoral students that are still in the initial stages of work participated in the week-long event and the participants were confronted with the most important basic concepts of internal and external systems of quality assurance in analytical chemistry.
Especially young scientists and scholars deal with the development of analysis methods and often generate an increasingly growing wealth of data. Results are mostly evaluated under quantitative aspects and need to be assessed subject-specifically. In addition to the purely scientific requirements these results also should meet the requirements of analytical quality assurance. For this purpose, the development of analytical methods is accompanied by a process of validation – the documented proof that a method is suitable for the intended purpose and the defined requirements.
This talk summarizes the didactic concept, which was used by the organizers to span an arc from the handling of process characteristics, such as accuracy, precision, linearity, recovery, up to measurement uncertainty and modern multivariate analysis techniques. In an open space workshop, the participants discussed their idea of quality management and worked out requirements after common sense. Interestingly, many participants had already implemented important quality assurance without professionally knowing it.
Accelerating chemical process development and manufacturing along with quick adaption to changing customer needs means consequent transformation of former batch to continuous (modular) manufacturing processes. These are justified by an improved process control through smaller volumes, better heat transfer, and faster dynamics of the examined reaction systems.
As an example, for such modular process units we present the design and validation of an integrated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) micro mixer tailor‐made for a desired chemical reaction based on computational modelling. The micro mixer represents an integrated modular production unit as an example for the most important class of continuous reactors. The quantitative online NMR sensor represents a smart process analytical field device providing rapid and non‐invasive chemical composition information without need for calibration. We describe the custom design through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the demands of the NMR sensor as well as for the given reaction conditions. The system was validated with an esterification reaction as an example for a chemical reaction process.
Systems utilizing such an online NMR analyser benefits through short development and set‐up times based on “modular” spectral models. Such models can simply be built upon pure component NMR spectra within minutes to a few hours (i.e., assignment of the NMR signals to the components) instead of tedious DoE 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). The approach was validated for typical industrial reactions, such as hydrogenations or lithiations.
Automatisierungstechnik, sowie die Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik (IKT) verschmelzen zunehmend. In der Prozessindustrie tut man sich aber schwer, die heu-te schon möglichen daten- oder modellbasierten Steuerungen auf Basis smarter Sen-soren und Aktoren einzusetzen oder allein Anforderungen daran vorzugeben. Viele aktuelle Entwicklungen der Zulieferer werden verwehrt und man wartet lieber ab.
Es bilden sich schon jetzt rasant schnell neue digitale Geschäftsmodelle in der Pro-zessindustrie, wie es schon mit der zunehmenden Verbreitung des Internets beobach-tet werden konnte. Wenn die Automatisierer und Anlagenspezialisten jetzt nicht ge-stalten, tun es andere.
Früher war es umgekehrt: Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik für Profis konn-ten sich nur die Großkonzerne leisten. Die Technologie vom Personalcomputer bis zum Smart-Gerät und ihre Peripherie wurden und werden ausschließlich durch den Massenmarkt vorangetrieben. Also müssen wir umdenken und Wege finden, die rasch voranschreitende Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik geschickt für die Digitalisierung umbiegen.
Der Beitrag erörtert aktuelle Diskussionen über netzartige Verbindungen der Feldge-räte (Sensoren und Aktoren) untereinander und zur Cloud sowie über virtuelle Server-verbünde und Applikationen, die auf Cloud-Diensten basieren. Mit einem solchen System ist die Einrichtung beliebiger Dienstleistungen und Funktionen auf der Basis der jeweils gängigen Methoden und Technologie des Internets möglich. Beispiele für Dienstleistungen sind beispielsweise auf prozessanalytische oder Sensordaten auf-bauende Instandhaltungsdienste oder Energiedienste für Anlagen.
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.
The talk also generally covers current aspects of high-field and low-field online NMR spectroscopy for reaction monitoring and process control.
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.

In future, such fully integrated and intelligently interconnecting “smart” systems and processes can speed up the high-quality production of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

This work wants to show the benefit of NMR spectroscopy as online analytical technique in industrial applications for improving process understanding and efficiency. Especially development and set‐up times based on “modular” data analysis models will enable new production concepts, which are currently discussed with respect to digitization of process industry.
PANIC is the ideal forum for such discussions in the application of NMR spectroscopy and its data analysis to the everyday problems in process industry.
What is the future of Analytical Sciences? The talk starts with a definition, comparing the current view with that from 1968. How do wie set trends? How do we get Analytics inside? Some examples of "Big Science" are given and discussed in relation to a definition of AS. How does AS face the current Grand Challenges?
As exaples for something significant, several exaples are presented, such as Climate Change of Hydrogen Storage. Another important trand are eScience and automation concepts for AS, which are highlighted.
But (Analytical) Science has to be politcal in our times to face Fake News and to breake barriers!
Der Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen Diskussionen zu Feldgerätekommunikation in der Prozessindustrie. Diese verfolgt seitens der Anwender in der NAMUR das NOA-Konzept (NOA = NAMUR Open Architecture). In gemeinsamen Aktivitäten mit dem ZVEI werden mit Zielstellung Mitte/Ende 2019 folgende Konzepte vorangebracht: NOA Informationsmodell in OPC UA,
Informationssicherheit und das Konzept des „Verification of Request“. Gemeinsam mit Geräte- und Softwareherstellern sollen auch M+O-Sensoren (Maintenance und Optimization) konzipiert werden.
Aus dem NAMUR AK 3.7 heraus wurde im Oktober ein Erweiterter Arbeitskreis „Smarte Sensoren, Aktoren und Kommunikation“ kontituiert, dem auch Geräte- und Softwarehersteller und das BSI angehören. Hier werden konkrete Anwendungsfälle für smarte Feldgeräte und Anforderungen an M+O-Sensoren erarbeitet, um die Bereitstellung und den Einsatz smarter Automatisierungskomponenten zu beschleunigen.
Zukünftig werden das „Smarte Labor“ und die „Smarte Produktion“ stärker zusammenwachsen.
Prozessindustrie Gemeinsam Digital – Forschungsbedarf für die Digitalisierung der Prozessindustrie
(2019)
Die Digitale Transformation durchdringt weite Teile der Industrie mit einer zunehmenden Vernetzung und Digitalisierung entlang der Wertschöpfungskette.
Basierend auf dem Whitepaper der DECHEMA „Digitalisierung in der Chemieindustrie“ entsteht die Vision eines gläsernen Apparates mit einem zeitlich, räumlich und methodisch dichtem Monitoring der Betriebszustände, das eine daten- und modellbasierte Optimierung transienter oder instationärer Prozesse (das heißt An-/Abfahren, Laständerungen, etc.) erlaubt. Auch der nicht bestimmungsmäßige Betrieb von Apparaten oder Modulen wird zuverlässig erkannt. Basis ist hier die Implementierung von innovativer Messtechnik und neuartigen Sensoren in Kombination mit der Anwendung datengetriebener oder rigoroser Modelle zur Prozesssimulation und -kontrolle.
Anlagen, die auf diesem Konzept basieren, lassen sich sicher an Stabilitäts- bzw. Kapazitätsgrenzen und mit höherem Durchsatz betreiben. Trotz schwankender Rohstoffqualitäten kann eine gleichbleibende Zielqualität der Produkte mit rentablen Qualitätssicherungskosten garantiert werden. Dazu ist eine Vernetzung über weitere Branchen (Softwareingenieure, MSR-Technik, Betreiber, Hersteller) notwendig. Sie ergänzt komplementär die ENPRO-Initiative mit Themen der modularen Anlagenplanung und -konstruktion und modular verteilter Intelligenz. Ein Digitalisierungsbedarf besteht auch für bereits vorhandenen Anlagenbestand bzw. zukünftig nicht modular gestalteter Produktionsapparate der chemischen Industrie, um auch dort einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Ressourcen- und Energieeffizienz zu leisten.

Analysis of dynamic systems
(2019)
Monitoring specific information (i.e., physico-chemical properties, chemical reactions, etc.) is the key to chemical process control when looking at dynamic systems, and quantitative online NMR spectroscopy is the method of choice for the investigation and understanding of dynamic multi-component systems. NMR provides rapid and non-invasive information, and due to the inherent linearity between sample concentration and signal intensity, peak areas can be directly used for quantification of multiple components in a mixture (without the need for any further calibration). This is one of the most attractive features of quantitative NMR spectroscopy. With the launch of devices covering magnetic field strengths from 40 to 90 MHz, so called compact or benchtop NMR systems, this analytical method is now reaching a sufficient degree of compactness and operability for an application outside of very specialized laboratories.
Whilst there are also many other tools available to examine various analytical parameters from dynamic processes, such as mass spectrometry, (near) infrared or Raman spectroscopy, each of these tools can only really be used independently. How can we examine and compare all data describing a particular chemical reaction? How can we visualize information rich, specific, or direct methods together with less specific but established analytical methods? And how can we transfer calibration information to the most appropriate process analytical method or method combination? Quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) has the potential to substitute offline laboratory analysis for calibration purposes by delivering quantitative reference data as an online method.
The workshop briefly presents the current state of the art of the analysis of dynamic systems by online NMR spectroscopy and analytical data fusion, with the remaining time being used for questions and open discussion with the attendees.

Die Nutzung von Sensortechnologien, insbesondere im Bereich der Gasdetektion mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Wasserstoff, spielt eine entscheidende Rolle in verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen der Wasserstofftechnologie. Sicherheitsüberwachung, Leckdetektion und Prozesskontrolle gehören zu den prominenten Anwendungsgebieten dieser Sensortechnologien. Ein zentrales Ziel ist die Erkennung von freigesetztem Wasserstoff sowie die genaue Bestimmung des Wasserstoff-Luftverhältnisses mithilfe von Gassensoren. Dies ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, um potenzielle Gefahren frühzeitig zu erkennen und angemessene Maßnahmen zu ergreifen.
Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieses Beitrags liegt auf der Analytik und der Verwendung zertifizierter Referenzmaterialien in Verbindung mit Metrologie für die Wasserstoffspeicherung. Dies gewährleistet eine präzise und zuverlässige Charakterisierung von Wasserstoff und unterstützt die Entwicklung sicherer Speichertechnologien. Im Rahmen des Euramet-Vorhabens Metrology for Advanced Hydrogen Storage Solutions (MefHySto) wird eine Kurzvorstellung präsentiert.
Der Vortrag stellt zwei zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren zum strukturellen Zustandsüberwachung (Structural Health Monitoring, SHM) für Wasserstofftechnologien vor. Insbesondere die Fehlstellenerkennung mittels geführter Ultraschallwellen spielt eine bedeutende Rolle bei der Lebensdauerüberwachung von Wasserstoffspeichern. Ein weiterer Aspekt ist die Anwendung faseroptischer Sensorik zur Schadensfrüherkennung von Wasserstoffspeichern. Diese zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren ermöglichen eine präzise und frühzeitige Identifizierung von Schäden, was die Sicherheit und Effizienz von Wasserstoffspeichersystemen entscheidend verbessert.
