Compact NIR spectrometer for continuous analysis of process parameters (PAT)

Non-destructive NIR analysis with the MicroNIR™ PAT-W

The MicroNIR™ PAT-W from Viavi is a compact and robust NIR spectrometer for real-time process monitoring in production environments. The analyzer is used for continuous analysis of process parameters such as blend uniformity, moisture content, composition, and drying processes in industries including pharmaceuticals, food & feed, and industrial manufacturing.

Viavi’s wireless inline spectrometers provide reliable real-time results. The compact analyzer makes process control highly accessible, supported by user-friendly software and flexible integration options.

Typical applications

The MicroNIR PAT-W is used for real-time process analysis across a wide range of industrial applications, including:

Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Blend uniformity, granulation, drying, and content uniformity.
Food and feed production
Analysis of moisture content, protein, fat, and nutritional values.
Industrial processes
Monitoring of polymers, chemical reactions, and petrochemical processes.

MicroNIR PAT-W process integration

Various mounting options are available for integration into process equipment, including sanitary flanges, weld flanges, and sapphire windows that separate the instrument from the material being analyzed. This allows the spectrometer to be safely and hygienically integrated into mixers, reactors, and other process installations.

The implementation of the MicroNIR PAT-W varies depending on the production process and analytical application. For this reason, we provide application-specific guidance on suitable measurement setups, process integration, and chemometric models to achieve optimal process control.

Our specialists are happy to advise you on the most suitable configuration and the integration of NIR analysis within your production process.
