Measurement and monitoring of process conditions is an essential part of producing the desired output. Some operations require, or can benefit from, faster or more accurate measurement of process variables. This can be especially true for chemical processes that rely on accurate mixing of components.

Process analyzers are available in a wide variety of technologies, configurations, performance ranges, and price points. Selecting the best analyzer for a particular process, take into consideration these points.

• Technology - Assess whether the technology is cabable of producing the results needed
• Accuracy - Measurement at levels appropriate for the process and operating goals
• Specificity - Ability to reliably measure the subject components
• First cost
• Continuing costs of maintenance, expendables, calibration
• Ease of use and integration into overall process measurement and control scheme
• Reliability

One manufacturer, Prozess Technologie, approaches process analysis with their Reveal optical spectroscopy analyzer. It is capable of operating continuously without ongoing operator interaction. Internal calibration software provides stability and reliability. The software suite for the instrument is compliant with numerous standards and a host of communication standards are supported to allow for easy integration into a process measurement and control system.
