The CLEAN ENERGY Flagship is an initiative designed to utilize recent game changing developments in digital, materials and manufacturing technologies to catalyze a radical paradigm shift towards clean, reliable, efficient and cost-optimal energy.
Unifying and drastically accelerating radically new energy material design, processing and integration across the entire value chain addressing energy production, conversion, storage and systems.
CLEAN ENERGY participants are all distinguished research organisations that each benefit from their own industry networks and contacts with regions and state-level activities and have a long history of collaborating with each other (for 10 years now under the umbrella of EERA) within a European collaborative framework.
Through EERA, CLEAN ENERGY aims to become a crucial partner in the SET-Plan, supporting long-lasting approaches through its established networks and internal collaborations.
There have been an increasing number of publications on flow chemistry applications of compact NMR. Despite this, there is so far no comprehensive workflow for the technical design of flow cells. Here, we present an approach that is suitable for the design of an NMR flow cell with an integrated static mixing unit. This design moves the mixing of reactants to the active NMR detection region within the NMR instrument, presenting a feature that analyses chemical reactions faster (5–120 s region) than other common setups. During the design phase, the targeted mixing homogeneity of the components was evaluated for different types of mixing units based on CFD simulation. Subsequently, the flow cell was additively manufactured from ceramic material and metal tubing. Within the targeted working mass flow range, excellent mixing properties as well as narrow line widths were confirmed in validation experiments, comparable to common glass tubes.
Die BAM ist nahezu über die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette hinweg wissenschaftlich tätig. Von der sicheren und effizienten Wasserstofferzeugung (POWER-to-GAS), über die (Zwischen-)Speicherung von Wasserstoff in Druckgasspeichern bis hin zum Transport bspw. mittels Trailerfahrzeug zum Endverbraucher.
Komplettiert werden die Aktivitäten der BAM durch die sicherheitstechnische Beurteilung von wasserstoffhaltigen Gasgemischen, die Verträglichkeitsbewertung von Werkstoffen bis hin zur Detektion von Wasserstoffkonzentrationen über geeignete Sensorik, auch mittels ferngesteuerter Messdrohnen (sog. UAV-Drohnen).
Zudem untersucht die BAM proaktiv Schadensrisiken und Unfallszenarien für die Sicherheitsbetrachtung, um mögliche Schwachstellen aufzeigen und potenzielle Gefährdungen erkennen zu können.
Industry 4.0 is all about interconnectivity, sensor-enhanced process control, and data-driven systems. Process analytical technology (PAT) such as online nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is gaining in importance, as it increasingly contributes to automation and digitalization in production. In many cases up to now, however, a classical evaluation of process data and their transformation into knowledge is not possible or not economical due to the insufficiently large datasets available. When developing an automated method applicable in process control, sometimes only the basic data of a limited number of batch tests from typical product and process development campaigns are available. However, these datasets are not large enough for training machine-supported procedures. In this work, to overcome this limitation, a new procedure was developed, which allows physically motivated multiplication of the available reference data in order to obtain a sufficiently large dataset for training machine learning algorithms. The underlying example chemical synthesis was measured and analyzed with both application-relevant low-field NMR and high-field NMR spectroscopy as reference method. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have the potential to infer valuable process information already from relatively limited input data. However, in order to predict the concentration at complex conditions (many reactants and wide concentration ranges), larger ANNs and, therefore, a larger Training dataset are required. We demonstrate that a moderately complex problem with four reactants can be addressed using ANNs in combination with the presented PAT method (low-field NMR) and with the proposed approach to generate meaningful training data.
Bei Industry 4.0 dreht sich alles um Interkonnektivität, sensorgestützte Prozesssteuerung und datengesteuerte Systeme. Prozessanalysentechnik (PAT) wie die Online-Kernresonanzspektroskopie (NMR) gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung, da sie zur Automatisierung und Digitalisierung in der Produktion beiträgt. Eine klassische Auswertung von Prozessdaten und deren Umsetzung in Wissen ist jedoch bisher in vielen Fällen aufgrund der unzureichend großen verfügbaren Datensätze nicht möglich oder nicht wirtschaftlich. Bei der Entwicklung eines automatisierten Verfahrens für die Prozesskontrolle stehen manchmal nur die Basisdaten einer begrenzten Anzahl von Batch-Versuchen aus typischen Produkt- und Prozessentwicklungskampagnen zur Verfügung. Diese Datensätze sind jedoch nicht groß genug, um maschinengestützte Verfahren zu trainieren.
Um diese Einschränkung zu überwinden, wurde ein neues Verfahren entwickelt, das eine physikalisch motivierte Multiplikation der verfügbaren Referenzdaten erlaubt, um einen ausreichend großen Datensatz für das Training von maschinellen Lernalgorithmen zu erhalten. Das zugrundeliegende Beispiel einer chemischen Synthese wurde spektroskopisch verfolgt und mit der neuen Methode sowie mit einem physikalisch basierten Modell analysiert, wobei sowohl eine anwendungsrelevante Niederfeld-NMR als auch eine Hochfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie als Referenzmethode verwendet wurde.
Künstliche neuronale Netze (ANNs) haben das Potenzial, bereits aus relativ begrenzten Eingabedaten wertvolle Prozessinformationen abzuleiten. Um jedoch die Konzentration unter komplexen Bedingungen (viele Edukte und weite Konzentrationsbereiche) vorherzusagen, sind größere ANNs und damit ein größerer Trainingsdatensatz erforderlich. Wir zeigen, dass ein mäßig komplexes Problem mit vier Edukten unter Verwendung von ANNs in Kombination mit der vorgestellten PAT-Methode (Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie) und mit dem vorgeschlagenen Ansatz zur Erzeugung aussagekräftiger Trainingsdaten bewältigt werden kann.
Data set of low-field NMR spectra of continuous synthesis of nitro-4’-methyldiphenylamine (MNDPA). 1H spectra (43 MHz) were recorded as single scans.
Two different approaches for the generation of artificial neural networks training data for the prediction of reactant concentrations were used: (i) Training data based on combinations of measured pure component spectra and (ii) Training data based on a spectral model.

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.
Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) are valuable analytical and quality control methods for most industrial chemical processes as they provide information on the concentrations of individual compounds and by-products. These processes are traditionally carried out manually and by a specialist, which takes a substantial amount of time and prevents their utilization for real-time closed-loop process control. This paper presents recent advances from two projects that use Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to address the challenges of automation and performance-efficient realizations of MS and NMR. In the first part, a complete toolchain has been realized to develop simulated spectra and train ANNs to identify compounds in MS. In the second part, a limited number of experimental NMR spectra have been augmented by simulated spectra, to train an ANN with better prediction performance and speed than state-of-the-art analysis. These results suggest that, in the context of the digital transformation of the process industry, we are now on the threshold of a strongly simplified use of MS and MRS and the accompanying data evaluation by machine-supported procedures, and can utilize both methods much wider for reaction and process monitoring or quality control.

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.
