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 and gives also an overview on direct dissolution studies of API cocrystals.
Process analytical techniques are extremely useful tools for chemical production and manufacture and are of particular interest to the pharmaceutical, food and (petro-) chemical industries.
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.
A major advantage of NMR spectroscopy is that the method features a high linearity between absolute signal area and sample concentration, which makes it an absolute analytical comparison method which is independent of the matrix. This is an important prerequisite for robust data evaluation strategies within a control concept and reduces the need for extensive maintenance of the evaluation model over the time of operation. Additionally, NMR spectroscopy provides orthogonal, but complimentary physical information to conventional, e.g., optical spectroscopy. It increases the accessible information for technical processes, where aromatic-to-aliphatic conversions or isomerizations occur and conventional methods fail due to only minor changes in functional groups.
As a technically relevant example, the catalytic hydrogenation of 2-butyne-1,4-diol and further pharmaceutical reactions were studied using an online NMR sensor based on a commercially available low-field NMR spectrometer within the framework of the EU project CONSENS (Integrated Control and Sensing).
The recent developments of inovative compact NMR spectrometers are therefore remarkable due to their possible application in process analytical technology (PAT) in an industrial environment without high maintenance requirements. spectroscopic methods, NMR spectroscopy offers some unique features for online reaction monitoring. However, those benefits have not been exploited for PAT applications so far. 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 tackled successfully. was provided in an explosion proof housing and involves a compact NMR spectrometer together with an automated data acquisition and evaluation unit, flow control, as well as data communication.
For reaction monitoring using NMR instruments, in particular, after acquisition of the FID the data needs to be corrected in real-time for common effects using automated methods. When it comes to NMR data evaluation under industrial process conditions, the shape of signals can change drastically due to nonlinear effects. However, the structural and quantitative information is still present but needs to be extracted by applying predictive models. Acquired raw spectra were processed with the following tools:
· Phase correction using the Entropy minimization method
· Baseline correction using a low-order Polynomial fit
· Alignment (icoshift) Pure component models based on Pseudo-Voigt functions can be derived via peak fitting of measured pure components or by the use of spin calculations.
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, which was developed for an intensified industrial process 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.

The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors will simplify their use and enable plug-and-play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. This is particularly important for concepts like self-diagnostics, self-calibration and self-configuration/parameterization. Intelligent field devices as parts of digital field networks, Inter-net Protocol (IP)-based connectivity and web interfaces, as well as advanced data analysis soft-ware will provide the basis for future projects like Industrie 4.0, Factory of the Future, or Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The talk summarizes the currently discussed general requirements for process sensors 4.0 and introduces an online NMR sensor as example. This sensor was developed to provide integrated control and sensing for sustainable operation of flexible intensified processes (CONSENS) funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
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 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.
Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug-and-play, even though they are more complex. This is particularly important for, self-diagnostics, self-calibration and self-configuration/parameterization. Intelligent field devices, digital field networks, Internet Protocol (IP)-enabled connectivity and web services, historians, and advanced data analysis software are providing the basis for the future project “Industrie 4.0” and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Important smart features include connectivity and communication ability according to a unified protocol (OPC-UA currently most widely discussed), maintenance and operating functions, traceability and compliance, virtual description to support a continuous engineering, and well as interaction capabilities between sensors. This is a prerequisite for the realization of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) within these future automation concepts for the process industry. Therefore, smart process sensors enable new business models for users, device manufacturers, and service providers.
The departure from current automation to smart sensor has already begun. Further development is based on the actual situation over several steps. Possible perspectives will be via additional communication channels to mobile devices, bidirectional communication, integration of the cloud and virtualization. The integration of virtual runtime environments can provide a more flexible topology for process control environments.
The talk summarizes the currently discussed requirements to process sensors 4.0 and introduces an online NMR sensor as an example, which was developed in the EU project CONSENS.
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 Royal Society of Chemistry NMR Discussion Group and Molecular Spectroscopy Group would like to invite you to the 2017 Spring Meeting, which will be held at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Stevenage. The theme for the meeting is “Low level detection and quantification by NMR” and different NMR technologies, including solution state NMR, solid state NMR and benchtop/low field NMR will be discussed. The presentations will cover a range of NMR related disciplines, including conventional low level detection and quantification, the use of cryoprobes, quantification of polymorphism using ssNMR and also methods for spectral simplification. Recent developments and applications of hyperpolarisation techniques, within both solution state and solid state NMR, will be presented in conjunction with the effect these sensitivity enhancements have with respect to quantification and limits of detection.
