Maximize Advanced Data Analysis with METTLER TOLEDO FBRM® On-Demand Webinar Series

METTLER TOLEDO FBRM® provides an information-rich method for tracking the rate and degree of change to the number and dimension of particles or droplets as they actually exist in your process. In any given particle system, there are specific, and possibly unique, changes that are of critical importance to the user.  In this three part webinar series, we explore how you can maximize data analysis. 

Part I - Mechanisms of Particle Change
How does FBRM® track particle agglomeration, breakage, attrition, growth, and shape? How can users extract a mechanistic understanding of these changes from FBRM® data? This webinar will provide examples of particle changes as characterized by FBRM® and PVM®.  Examples of particle agglomeration, growth, breakage, and shape change will be presented providing chemists and engineers with a foundation on how various particle changes manifest in the data.  By using the correct analysis tools, weighing, and statistics, specific particle changes can be understood and optimized with maximum precision.

Part II - Correlating FBRM® Directly to Process Efficiency and Product Quality
How can FBRM® be correlated to predict downstream process efficiency or product quality? How can FBRM® be correlated to offline particle measurement such as laser diffraction, sieving, or microscopy? This webinar provides examples of direct correlations between:

  • FBRM® data and process efficiency such as filtration, flow properties, or dissolution rates
  • FBRM® data and product quality such as bulk density, stability, color, and particle size

In addition, the relationship between FBRM®, laser diffraction, the sieve, and image analysis will also be explored.  Caveats correlation as well as successful correlations and case studies are discussed.

Part III - Overcoming Pitfalls to FBRM® Data Interpretation
How do changes in the particle system physics affect FBRM data? The FBRM measurement principle has inherent sensitivity which can affect results in ways unexpected by chemists and engineers.  Understanding these particle system properties can significantly increase success with FBRM data.  This webinar will discuss specific case studies to maximize FBRM data analysis:

  • Concentration
  • Dilution
  • Segregation
  • Index of refraction 
  • Smoothness
  • Brightness
  • Flotation
  • Settling
