Transitional Analysis and PAT

I was with a customer last week and I was going over my Transitional Analysis application. As I described it in more detail – its ability to non-obtrusively measure chromatography column viability prior to applying product – the customer got more and more animated. Finally, he looked at me and said “Why, that’s PAT!”

So check out www.transitionalanalysis.net for more information about the application. And by the way, the customer I was talking to doesn’t have a DeltaV system. He does have a bunch of chromatography skids with proprietary (vendor supplied) method controls. The TA application is platform agnostic.

Getting Ready for Exchange

Well, Emerson Exchange is just around the corner (September 29th to October 3rd in Washington, DC) and for the first time in several years, I’ll just be a participant – no talks to be nervous about giving.

My past papers have focused on statistical analysis within DeltaV to determine chromatography column viability – HETP, Asymmetry, and TA (Transitional Analysis). Interest has really picked up related on this topic (all things are relative – I get excited if a dozen folks visit this blog in a day).

Another extension of the data manipulation techniques I’m looking at is Mean Kinetic Temperature – it looks like there might be some interest in it, so we’ll see.

If you're at Exchange, hunt me down. If not, I'll fill you in on what I was impressed with (and not impressed with) when I return.
