Improving Polymer Analysis by Deploying Benchtop Spectrometers for Improved Process Control

57 min

// Polymers & plastics

In this educational webcast, Tim Bauer, a Sr. R&D Engineer for Process Development at AdvanSix, explores how he implemented near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to significantly improve nylon production. Increasing the data fidelity within each process train led to a 25% reduction in waste, improved forecasting for both material demand and production quantity, and a higher quality product. Dr. Adam Hopkins, the Spectroscopy Product Manager at Metrohm, discusses how NIR spectrometers can be deployed both in the QC lab and the process stream to increase safety and efficiency.
