Thermo Fisher has released a new online elemental analyser that can be used in real time quality control for process optimisation in cement production. The Thermo Scientific CB Omni Fusion analyser allows users to choose either an electrically-driven neutron generator or an isotope, Californium (252Cf), as the analyser?s excitation source. This enables them to continuously measure the elemental composition of the entire raw material stream carried on a conveyor belt.
?Cement makers are under increased pressure to maximise resources and reduce costs,? said Kevin Gordon, global marketing manager for prompt gamma neutron activation analysis for Thermo Fisher Scientific.
