NanoPAT measurement Campaign at Covestro, NL

As part of the NanoPAT project, innoFSPEC, PDW Analytics GmbH (Potsdam) and POLYMAT (Donostía, Spain) performed a PDW measurement campaign at the laboratories of their industrial partner Covestro in The Netherlands.

The primary objective of the visit was to test PDW spectroscopy at Covestro’s R&D Lab for various syntheses that are significant to Covestro’s production portfolio. It marks the first instance where Covestro can monitor their synthesis processes inline, and the initial results look promising! The visit was conducted within the context of Case Study 1 “Polymers”.

NanoPAT networking - welcome Manuel!

We are happy to welcome Manuel Nigg from Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) who is visiting innoFSPEC this week for knowledge exchange and networking purposes within the European NanoPAT project. He is monitoring zeolite synthesis processes with PDW spectroscopy. Currently he is working on the modification of the probe fibres to make them more resistant to the harsh reaction conditions during the zeolite synthesis.
