Digilab Software

[Edward]

NowLAC is inviting academics, individuals, genealogists and community-based groups to engage in digitizing LAC collections. The newly established DigiLab at 395 Wellington Street in Ottawa is a hands-on facility for users to digitize and contextualize LAC collections of value to their study, work and communities. All of the material digitized through the DigiLab will be made available online for general public access.

If you are interested in using the DigiLab, please contact us at numeri-la...@bac-lac.gc.ca. Include a list of the materials that you would like to digitize as well as a few words about your project and how the materials will be used.

With OASE digilab, you can continuously monitor the condition of your gas treatment plant and operate it with the optimal solvent composition. OASE digilab works with trinamiX's near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR spectroscopy) solution. It combines a mobile NIR-spectrometer with data analysis (chemometrics) to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the composition of the sample. You can inject the samples from your plant directly into the digilab device and receive the analysis of the components within a few seconds.

Wet-chemical methods for sample analysis do not allow you to analyze your activator content and the results often are not very precise. The alternative, more advanced analytics in our BASF laboratories in Ludwigshafen, Germany or Wyandotte, USA, takes some time. The new digilab method combines the best out of both worlds: It is easier in handling, quicker and very precise.

OASE digilab is linked to OASE connect, our innovative, globally unique digital platform, which helps you to design the operation of your plants more efficiently. All sample analysis results are being saved in the analytics area of OASE connect. This way, you can access your data anytime and we process the data on solvent composition to optimize the technology further.

The OASE digilab is connected to our software, the OASE connect portal. It transfers the spectrum via the internet to a BASF server. There, it is analyzed, and the resulting composition is displayed in OASE connect.

We did a thorough testing and evaluation process starting in our lab in Ludwigshafen. We used OASE samples from our customers all around the world to develop the method to where it is today. In a second step, we tested the device in a real plant, in an acid-gas removal unit in one of our ammonia plants in Ludwigshafen. As expected, the results obtained with OASE digilab closely match the values with the traditional GC chemistry procedure.
