SITRANS SSE IQ is a technology that can be applied to many industries and processes. Here are some examples:

• Power: Predict emissions like NOx, CO2, CO, SO2 and O2 in various industries like gas turbines, gas boilers, fire heaters and flares (PEMS)
• Petrochemical: Estimate pollutants in output flow of sour water stripping plant
• Pharma: Predict penicillin concentration in fed-batch fermentation processes
• Water: Forecast chlorine levels in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) for water quality control

Soft sensors can lower total cost by reducing hardware, installation and maintenance needs. They’re especially useful when measurements are difficult, slow or expensive to instrument, and they can improve availability by continuing to provide estimated values when a physical sensor is impractical or temporarily unavailable. By combining multiple existing process signals, soft sensors also deliver continuous, data-driven insights — often with significantly lower upfront investment than adding a new physical sensor.

SSE IQ helps you build, validate and deploy AI/ML models for inferential measurements using historical and live process data — so models can be maintained and updated as process conditions change.
