Project overview In-line Cascade laser spectrometer for process control SPIRE projects’ conference 20 th April 2016 Brussels Piotr Strauch Siemens AG Unrestricted

Scientific / Technical goals  Development of a novel multi-component gas analyzer technology based on laser (materials, laser technology, advanced algorithms …)  Monitor In-line hydrocarbon components in a process  Control - decrease delay times by reduction of required complex sampling systems  Avoid use of consumables (carrier gases, calibration samples)  Reduce of extensive maintenance  Starting with refinery application but: broad analytical applications into different markets 1 st Target application Multi-component monitoring of hydrocarbons in a process stream of a refinery (PREEM Sweden)  Establish preconditions for technology turnaround with multiple effects

 Measurement Technologies Actual available technologies especially Gas Chromatography (Micro Gas Chromatography and MEMS technology) Digitization (Industry 4.0, ioT..) – due to simplification of analyzers Robustness - due to simplification of entire analyzing system  Process control Direct information from process (avoiding sample conditioning effects) Shorter response time (fast technology & delay from sampling system)  Installation In-line Measurement (engineering) Avoiding extractive system Technological Benefits and impacts Preem refinery in Gothenburg

 Environmental Sample does not leave process into the atmosphere A considerable decrease in power consumption of analyzer system Avoiding using of consumables  Users - competiveness Increased productivity Reduction of engineering, system and installation cost Avoiding of consumables (carrier gas, calibration samples) Maintenance costs (tech. assistance; logistics; robustness) Quality of products - due to faster & direct process control Flexibility – low effort in case of plant changes  People/social Way of operating (shift of competences – impact on local service teams) Additional Benefits and impacts

 Technical Developed solution applicable for the entire hydrocarbon process industry Extension to other application areas as emission monitoring possible Impact on other technologies  Non-technical Involving experts from different sectors (industry & science) Participants are active members within industrial and standardization committees Stimulate - Science & Intellectual Properties Cross-cutting

slide European Dimension iCspec involves experts from 4 European countries: FRA, GER, POL, SWE Research > Technology development > Analyzer & System integration > Process control 6 The iCspec project is still in the first phase with focus on important technological developments e.g. - novel laser sources - measurement algorithms
