NMR or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is an effect whereby magnetic nuclei in a magnetic field absorb and re-emit electromagnetic (EM) energy at a specific resonance frequency. This physical phenomena provides a picture or spectra of the hydrocarbon structure, which can determine physical and chemical information. A major benefit of this NMR analyzer is the capability to provide continuous flow-through and accurate chemical and physical analysis of multiple components in dense and opaque materials such as crude oil and petrochemicals. Aspect Imaging’s Compact NMR platform provides the modern petroleum and petrochemical plant managers with a reliable, quantitative tool using state-of-the-art NMR technology to provide real-time compositional analysis in-line with production flows. Used in production facilities worldwide, Aspect Imaging’s Compact NMR platform is an invaluable tool that allows for real-time separation and optimization of production flows to increase yield, increase quality, reduce mixing of different or unwanted elements, and increasing overall ROI.
