Phosphates 2006 Invites progression to Present Paper in Belgium

BELGIUM—April 24, 2006—At the second international phosphates conference, Phosphates 2006, in Brussels, Belgium, progression, inc. presented a paper outlining the benefits of on-line process control for phosphate mines and chemical plants. The paper, On-line Measurements at Phosphate Mines and Chemical Plants, detailed recent advances in on-line process analyzers used for measurement of phosphate levels as well as trace element detection.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a technique that has been used by the phosphate industry for a number of years. The MagModule II™, progression’s on-line NMR analyzer, represents the latest generation of on-line phosphate analyzers. This technology, which won an R&D 100 award after its introduction in 2003, provides real-time P2O5 or BPL levels to plant control systems at both mines and chemical plants.

iPulse™, progression’s latest technology development, measures the concentration of magnesium, iron, calcium, and aluminum in phosphate rock on a conveyor belt. The iPulse instrument is mounted directly over a conveyor belt and provides continuous analysis, which enables real-time material characterization and process control.

“The analytical technologies offered by progression provide benefits to the phosphate industry at every step of the production process,” said Scott Marino, Director of International Sales for progression, inc. “With our extensive experience bringing analytical technologies to industrial settings, the potential value to phosphate producers is enormous.”
