The Pilot™ series of Raman probes has been developed
for optimal performance with all the Raman analyzers in the RAMANRXN SYSTEMS™ suite. The RAMANRXN SYSTEMS™ suite of analyzers
is ideal for analyzing, monitoring, and controlling chemical processes. The
combination of the Pilot™ line of Raman probes and the RAMANRXN3™ analyzer
for classified locations yields both a powerful Process Analytical Chemistry (PAC)
and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) analyzer for in situ analysis or control,
from the safety or optimization laboratory to the manufacturing reactor.
The Pilot™ series is available in two styles. The Pilot™-S probe is ideal for small
high temperature reactors, while the Pilot™-E has been designed for large reactors—up to 15 feet
in size. Pilot™-E probes can be used with glass-lined reactors commonly found
in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, without reactor modification. Pilot™-E probes can be supplied certified to the the European ATEX safety requirements as part of a RAMANRXN3™process solution. The
modular design of the Pilot™ series of probes allows the sampling point to be
customized for each customer's reactor, thus removing the need for sampling slip
stream. This in turn may reduce maintenance cost, eliminate a potential failure
mechanism, improve process safety, and reduce initial installation cost.
All Pilot™ probes utilize a single fiber for excitation and another for collection.
For laboratory equipment, this provides a robust interface and sampling
versatility. For process equipment, single fibers allow reduced cost for long
runs of fiber as compared to multi-fiber collection designs. Single collection
fibers also permit simultaneous multi-channel operation on a single analyzer.
Standard telecommunication fiber diameters (<100 microns) are used to increase
mechanical stability. This results in fewer broken fibers, increased safety, and
lower maintenance costs.
