It incorporates an in situ measurement system that does not require the removal of any sample material from the process. It uses a Fourier Transform Near Infrared (FTNIR) spectrometer fiber-optic cables, a , viscometer for measuring solution viscosity and a Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) for temperature measurement.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 31, 1997 and granted July 24, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 31, 2017.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
