Bayer Liquor Analysis by Infra-Red (BLAIR) is an ideal method of
measurement for alumina refineries. BLAIR has many advantages compared with existing titration methods.
More information than ever before
A complete Bayer liquor analysis for alumina, total caustic,
total alkali, carbonate, sulfate, derived caustic ratios, and
total organic carbon (TOC), is available using the BLAIR
spectroscopic technique. BLAIR now also provides good estimates of sodium chloride and liquor density. All from a single measurement on one tiny sample.
Speed
Analysis for five Bayer liquor components and all liquor
ratios takes less than three minutes.
Convenience
Direct spectroscopic measurements using BLAIR give the analytical
result without the need for dilution or the addition of other reagents.
There are no messy titrations, and few moving parts.
Reliable and Repeatable
With a typical relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.2% for repeated measurements of alumina, caustic and soda, BLAIR has the precision you need.
Environment
When minimising emissions, it helps to operate your plant using the best tools. BLAIR is a leap ahead in providing rapid, rich information on species in the bayer process.
Value
BLAIR helps you to optimise your alumina refinery and
pays for itself many times over.
