Industry: Metals Manufacturing (Steel/Aluminum)
Need: Real-time plasma monitoring in high-temperature melt furnaces
Scenario:
A metals manufacturer needs to monitor the plasma above a melt furnace during smelting to ensure consistent elemental composition and process efficiency. Traditional sampling methods are too slow for real-time control.
Spectroscopy Solution:
Using high-temperature fiber optic probes, light from the plasma is transmitted to Avantes spectrometers located safely away from the furnace. This setup enables real-time Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES), allowing the manufacturer to:
