Spectroscopic analysers, e.g. near infrared (NIR), play an increasing
role in on-line analysis of a wide variety of processes. NIR has been
used for many years to analyse e.g. protein, fat, and moisture content
of food products, octane numbers along with some other properties of
gasolines and other petroleum products. Equipped with fiber optics, NI
R analysers circumvent many sample handling problems and are thus idea
l for many on-line applications provided process environment requireme
nts are fulfilled. Examples of some in-house application developments
for the process and pilot plants starting from the first on-line octan
e measurement analyser connected to a process computer system in 1988
will be given.
