    Installation:

    X-ray fluorescence (XRF)

    OnlineAt-line

    X-ray fluorescence determines elemental content by exciting the sample with X-rays and measuring the element-specific fluorescence radiation emitted in the process — without digestion and without reagents.

    pH Measurement

    InlineOnlineAt-line

    pH measurement determines the acid-base content of a solution and is one of the most widely used inline measurements in Process Analytical Technology (PAT).

    DIN 38404-5ISO 10523

    Gas Chromatography (GC)

    OnlineAt-lineOff-line

    Gas chromatography separates and identifies gaseous substances and is used for purity testing, calorific value determination and emissions monitoring.
