Process automation

As part of process automation, continuous-measurement analyzers are used to measure important process parameters in gases, dust, or liquids. The measured values are key components of online process monitoring and control, for example, in nitrogen removal (DeNOx), sulfur removal (DeSOx, FGD), raw gas measurements, or burner control. In process automation, various different sensors are used to automate production processes. Depending on the specific application, it may also be necessary to comply with explosion-protection requirements (ATEX).
