PAT applications in pharmaceutical and chemical reactors

To analyze reactions in real time providing immediate data on critical process control parameters SensoTech offers with the LiquiSonic® technology a range of reliable and high-class measuring and analyzing systems. The LiquiSonic® systems provide precise data about the concentration and density in liquids like solvents, nutrient solutions, emulsions or suspensions. Furthermore, LiquiSonic® detects phase transitions to control exactly phase separation processes. Another focus is the reaction monitoring in crystallization processes, e.g. in cases of active substances or nutrient solutions.

A LiquiSonic® analyzer consists of one or multiple sensors and one controller. The sensors are robust as well as corrosion-resistant and work maintenance-free. The controller works as evaluation unit visualizing and recording the measuring results and transferring them to the process control system.

The LiquiSonic® sensors are installed directly in the pipeline or vessel. Measuring in a vessel the sensor is available incorporated in a bottom outlet valve of the leading valve manufacturer SchuF. So it is possible to measure without an extra process connection and even in low volume batches.

This innovative and cost-efficient combination of sensor and valve is an ideal solution for process analytical applications in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry. Because of the close cooperation with the pharmaceutical company Pfizer during the product development, the valve with built-in LiquiSonic® sensor has already proven successfully in the plants of Pfizer.
