Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR)
FTIR spectrometers and spectrophotometers are essential tools for analyzing the interaction of materials with infrared radiation. Used in industries such as Oil&Gas and chemistry, they allow to identify and study the molecular composition of solids, liquids and gases. Equipment such as ABB’s MB3600-HP10 offers accurate hydrocarbon analysis, with customizable calibrations to optimize quality control processes. With high spectral resolution and laboratory-to-process calibration transfer, FTIR spectrometers ensure reliable and fast results in industrial and research applications.
Description
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) spectrometers and spectrophotometers are instruments for analyzing how materials interact with infrared radiation. These devices are able to identify the chemical composition of a sample by detecting the absorption, transmission or reflection characteristics of infrared light at different wavelengths. This technique is widely used to analyze solids, liquids and gases, providing detailed and accurate results on the molecular structure of materials.
Main characteristics
FTIR spectrometers stand out for their high resolution and their ability to cover a wide spectral range. Among their most relevant features are:
– High spectral resolution, which allows obtaining precise details in the molecular structure of the samples.
– Versatility in the type of samples, since they can analyze solids, liquids and gases.
– Calibration transferability, which ensures that the spectra obtained in the laboratory can be applied to industrial processes without loss of accuracy.
– Compatibility with a wide range of sampling accessories, such as liquid flow cells and temperature control systems, which allow customizing the equipment according to specific needs.
Benefits
FTIR spectrophotometers offer several key benefits for industries such as chemical, Oil&Gas, and research and development:
– Non-destructive analysis of samples, allowing multiple measurements without compromising sample integrity.
– High accuracy and stability, ensuring reliable results even in demanding industrial environments.
– Fast analysis times, which optimizes quality control processes.
– Easy maintenance and low operating costs, due to the absence of consumables and complicated procedures.
Applications
FTIR spectrometers and spectrophotometers are used in a variety of industries:
– Chemical and petrochemical industry: for the identification and characterization of hydrocarbons and other chemical compounds.
– Oil&Gas: in the quality control of products such as gasoline, diesel and other fuels, through equipment such as the MB3600-HP10.
– Research and development: for molecular structure studies and the creation of new materials.
– Pharmaceutical and biotechnology: in the analysis of compounds and the validation of raw materials and final products.
Equipment such as ABB’s MB3600-HP10 offers specialized solutions for hydrocarbon analysis, with pre-calibrated and customizable calibrations that simplify product characterization.
