Specac NIR cells in the hydrocarbon processing industry
For more than 25 years Specac Near-Infrared (NIR) process cells have been used successfully in the hydrocarbon processing industry to monitor the composition of hazardous chemical process streams on-line and in-situ using NIR spectroscopy and process analytical technology (PAT). By using instantaneous compositional data on their hydrocarbon processes chemical engineers are able to fine-tune the performance of their production plant, identify performance issues to optimise throughput and improve chemical selectivity to enhance product purity. The ruggedness and durability of Specac process cells have earned them an excellent reputation in the chemical industry and the support provided by Specac makes them the first choice for even the most demanding PAT applications.
Specac process cells can be connected remotely to a wide choice of commercially available NIR spectrometers using standard SMA 905 connectors. A large range of process analytical applications on a petrochemical site can be realised simultaneously with just one spectrometer and an optical multiplexer by the combination of Specac gas, vapour and liquid cells. Particular attention has been paid by Specac in the careful selection of appropriate IP65 rated protection for the fibre-optic cable connection to ensure peace of mind for the process engineer. This combined with the ruggedness of the cells and a flanged connection makes them ideal for process analytical installations guaranteed to last. By using highly polished sapphire windows and optimised flow patterns the risk of window fouling in raw chemical process streams is greatly reduced. The ruggedness of the NIR process cells also allows for harsher in-situ cleaning methods like high-pressure steaming or using elevated temperatures for short periods of time.
Specac engineers are able to provide numerous types of sealing materials and

Specac NIR Process Cells Engineered to last in the most demanding process analytical applications
Range of metallurgies and sealings Gas Vapours Liquids
Designed with the input of industry leading process analytical engineers Double seals for extra peace of mind Tell tale option for monitoring integrity
methods based on years of experience of monitoring corrosive, acidic and toxic chemical process streams at high temperatures and pressures. Their knowledge in selecting the right material helps your plant integrity to be maintained. The optical design of the cell with the double-seal arrangement and a tell-tale option allows the alignment of planned shut-downs of the chemical facility with the regular inspection intervals of the optical cells. For regular inspection the cells can be sent back to Specac where our mechanical engineers have got a variety of tools and methods at their disposal to investigate the performance and integrity of the cells. After careful inspection the cells will be refurbished, provided with new seals and re-aligned before being returned.
When it matters use Specac process cells for your PAT applications!
