Malvern Instruments latest INFORM white paper, "The benefits of real-time analysis for process development", presents the case for investing in real-time process measurement at the pilot studies stage, and is now available for free download from the company’s website.

While much effort is expended in optimising commercially operating plants, getting the process "right first time" can be far more efficient. Real-time analysis of process parameters provides substantial support during development, streamlining and accelerating the evolution of successful process designs.

Taking on-line particle size analysis as an example, this paper considers the rationale for investing in real-time measurement for pilot-scale work. Case studies are used to illustrate the various ways in which on-line systems promote efficient process development, easing the transition into profitable manufacturing.
