Heavy feed measurement

Topnir enables to monitor analysis of multiple heavy feeds in a few minutes. With only one At-line apparatus, Topnir characterizes properties or ratio of components in agreement with the ASTM world-wide standard.
TOPNIR SYSTEMS have developed the NIR SPEED (Sampling PErformance Excellence Design) SYSTEM which is an automat coupled to a spectrometer to determine spectra of heavy feed through a dilution procedure. The NIR SPEED SYSTEM acquires automatically diluted spectra of the heavy feed and determines the spectrum of the pure finished product.
