| Abstract: | Sensor technology in the chemical process industries – status and trends . Sensor technology is used in chemical process industries to provide information on product and process properties. The computerized handling of this information has altered the requirements for sensor systems. New production methods and the automation of existing processes lead to new tasks for sensor systems. The advancement of sensor technology is proceeding on a broad front and in small steps, also exploiting the potential of microelectronics. Model-based measuring methods utilizing a priori knowledge about the process may substantially increase the information gain. |
