Visit of PDW Analytics GmbH at ARKEMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 14 and 30 November 2023, colleagues from\u00a0PDW Analytics<\/a>\u00a0(Tobias Simon), University of Potsdam<\/a>\u00a0(Justin Aaron Koenig), and\u00a0ZHAW<\/a>\u00a0(Andrey Dashkevich, Achim Ecker) performed the first measurement campaign at the pilot facilities of Arkema, one of\u00a0the NanoPAT\u00a0industrial partners, in Lacq, France. The campaign was part of the\u00a0case study on zeolites (Case Study 4 of the NanoPAT project).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary objective of the first campaign was to validate the\u00a0Photon Density Wave Spectroscopy (PDW) technology<\/a>\u00a0and the new process probe developed by ZHAW in a pilot environment. To do that, syntheses of different zeolites were performed in a pilot batch reactor (220 L).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the campaign, the synthesis process was monitored with PDW Spectroscopy and compared with the conventional analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution and scanning electron microscopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis of the gathered data is ongoing with the expertise of University of Potsdam and PDWA and the support of ZHAW. PDW Analytics GmbH <\/a>is member of the network Bio-PAT<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
