Cross-correlate UV and IR data with this technology

| By Chemical Engineering

The Model IPS-4 full-spectrum analyzer performs online measurements of component concentration in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum using diode-array detection, and simultaneously in the infrared (IR) spectrum using single-beam, multi-wavelength technology. The measurements are then cross-correlated and further verified to avoid interference from complex streams. The IPS-4 can measure up to eight components, using the most favorable absorptions in both the UV and IR spectra. The unit is based on a non-dispersive IR (NDIR) platform, and uses optical components with long lifetimes. — Ametek Process Instruments, Pittsburgh, Pa.
