Characterizing materials via spectroscopy is critical to understanding exactly how we can make them, and sustainable energy technologies, better. The scientific community has really thrown its brainpower into this area.
Non-Renewable Energy Solutions
- Ethanol monitoring for more effective, cleaner-burning fuel mixture composition
- Determination of mineral composites at mining sites, to pinpoint extraction needs
- Analysis of oil in water, to minimize pollutants both upstream and downstream
- Testing of engine oil to determine oil life and equipment condition
- Determination of fuel clarity and quality
Spectral Explorations in Mining
As new mineral sources are found across the globe, there is a desire to accurately classify rock types at the point of mining as well as point of use. Ocean Insight offers spectral reflection systems for rapid determination of mineral composites in a non-destructive test.
Using an optical probe to simply shine light on the mineral surface, the observed spectral peaks and patterns can be correlated to one or more compounds within the rock. This can be used to verify suspected minerals before large-scale extraction at the mining site, and to re-verify before use in the desired process.
