Bio-Renewable Manufacturing

Helping companies better understand their processes with FTIR in the production of sustainable bio-based resources such as bio-fuels and fermentation products.
The growing demand for bio-renewable products is creating new opportunities and manufacturing challenges. As new development processes emerge, the ability to monitor bio-based reactions is crucial. FTIR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for monitoring reactions and critically providing material identification capabilities to ensure production and quality. The Keit IRmadillo™ FTIR spectrometer enables continuous, real-time reaction monitoring with a compact, rugged instrument used right at the point of production.
Taking you from reaction modelling to full-scale production all with one instrument, Keit allows you to take the power of a laboratory FTIR and keep it at the point of production without having to build your own lab in your manufacturing environment.
