Application examples of ARIMOS CRYSTAL

Application example 1

  • Crystallizers and peripherals in production, for example multi-product plants in batch or continuous operation with changing feedstock quantities & qualities.
  • Industry sectors: Chemical and food industry
Problem - Solution - Your advantages
  • Problem
  • Increased defective production, operational disruptions, and plant shutdowns due to:
  • Process changeovers
  • Feedstock fluctuations
  • High process dynamics and slow-responding measuring equipment, so that usually only the end product can be evaluated.
  • End product has wrong crystal shape or size, so that downstream separation is necessary to achieve correct product specification.
  • Solution
  • ARIMOS crystal achieves time-accurate and precise visualization of crystal size from seed to final product.
  • Comprehensive insights in flow behavior.
  • Your advantages
  • Increase your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by significantly reducing malfunctions and downtime.
  • Avoid loss of sales and write-offs on feedstock and energy due to defective production.

Application example 2

  • Crystallizers and peripherals in R&D laboratories/testing facilities (batch operation with changing feedstocks, continuous operation with changing feedstock quantities & qualities).
  • Characterization of multi-component systems regarding separation of key and by-products by means of crystallization.
  • Industry sectors: Chemical and food industries
Problem - Solution - Your advantages
  • Problem
  • High personnel costs in screening operation
  • Defective batches cannot be detected and stopped at an early stage, so batches run to the end.
  • Time-consuming analysis during operation: Offline / atline (sampling, preparation & measurement), online (measurement in bypass with tendency to blockage).
  • Slow-responding offline analysis leads to increased defective batch rate in highly dynamic crystallization processes.
  • High defective batch rate increases asset utilization and time-to-market per project.
  • Solution
  • ARIMOS crystal provides particle shape & size in real time directly at the point of interest.
  • Sampling and time-consuming analysis are eliminated.
  • In case of changing process conditions immediate intervention gets possible.
  • Your advantages
  • Lower personnel expenses and thus reduced personnel costs.
  • Lower asset utilization per project and thus a shorter time-to-market.
  • Successful scale-up due to better process understanding – from lab to industry scale.

The journey to the autonomous plant.

ARIMOS CONTROL

With the help of the parameters received from the image analysis requests for action can be defined. ARIMOS CONTROL regulates valves and other components of your plant and thus allows e.g. the exact adjustment of a drop size by regulating the rotation speed of your agitator.

ARIMOS SMART

ARIMOS SMART creates a correlation between the image material, further process information (e.g. yield, temperature, etc.) and the process quality. With this an up-to-date evaluation of the process condition, a process prediction as well as predictive maintenance is achieved.

We look forward to hearing from you.
