Technical Note on high technology PL-PMC solutions for continuous polymerisation monitoring and control explains important implications for academic research and commercial polymer manufacture
Polymer Laboratories has issued a technical note on its high technology PL-PMC solutions for continuous polymerisation monitoring and control.
Monitoring the progress of polymerisation processes has important implications for academic research and commercial polymer manufacture.
The benefits of monitoring include a better understanding of polymerisation kinetics, optimised product and increased process efficiency.
PL-PMC systems can alert the user to any change of state of the polymerisation within a reactor; corrective action can then be taken which may avoid the entire batch being lost and also eliminate production re-scheduling.
The technical note outlines the polymerisation monitoring options available from Polymer Laboratories: in, or near, real time using rapid online GPC/FIA or automatic online continuous monitoring (ACOMP) techniques.
Details of the mode of operation and data generated by PL-PMC systems are published within the technical note.
