CPACT Webinar on
Taming High-Viscosity Processes with Palm-Sized, Mid-IR
Spectroscopy Made in Singapore for Emulsification and Polymer Functionalization
Lennon Lee, Paeonia innovations
30th April 2026 at 5pm Singapore time, 10 am (UK
time)
High-viscosity
process streams have long been a barrier to reliable inline Process Analytical
Technology (PAT). Conventional spectroscopic solutions struggle when faced with
optically complex matrices — concentrated emulsions and polymer melts — where
fouling, cleaning downtime, and poor signal quality make real-time monitoring
impractical. The result: manufacturers fall back on off-line sampling,
accepting the lag time, batch-to-batch variability, and quality risk that comes
with it.
In the first
case study, we examine inline mid-IR monitoring of an emulsification process,
revealing the four critical stages in real time. The optically dense matrix
that defeat most probe solutions are shown to be no obstacle in our
transmission system complete with sampling and cleaning in place.
In the second
case study, we explore real-time monitoring of a polymer functionalization
reaction, where the degree of substitution must be tracked dynamically to
reduce cycle times.
With a
measurement cadence of 3 spectra per second, sustained high signal-to-noise
ratio even in optically dense media, and a sampling interface designed to
handle high-viscosity streams with cleaning, this new platform delivers the
insights that modern process control demands.
Attendees will
leave with:
· A clear
framework for PAT implementation in high-viscosity applications
· Practical
insights into inline sampling design and automated cleaning strategies
· An
understanding of how high-frequency, high-SNR, mid-IR data enables tighter process
control and reduced cycle time
· Guidance on
translating spectral data into actionable process endpoints
This webinar is
particularly relevant to process engineers, analytical scientists, and PAT
champions in the specialty chemicals, agrochemical, food & personal care,
and polymer industries across South East Asia.
