Extract

Temperature, pressure, and flow measurements are considered standard for process control purposes. It is vital that they be made on-line in real-time and not manually in the laboratory. Chemical assays should be done as fast and continuous as temperature measurements in order to be useful for process control. Until recently, this has not been the case because the assay methods have been difficult to automate.
