NEX OL

Process EDXRF Elemental Analyzer for Liquid Process Streams

On-line process control for liquid stream applications

NEX OL is a process elemental analyzer for liquid stream applications. It offers continuous measurement of aluminum (Al) to uranium (U), from parts per million (ppm) levels to weight percent (wt%) concentrations. NEX OL serves a broad range of process control applications from heavy industrial to food-grade process gauging solutions.

NEX OL Overview

Real-time elemental analysis of liquids

Featuring advanced flow cell designs in combination with EDXRF technology, the Rigaku NEX OL process analyzer delivers on-line, multi-element analysis of aluminum (Al) to uranium (U) for liquid streams. It is configurable for use in classified and non-classified areas, has easy calibration and routine operation, standard communications protocols, and features an intuitive industrial touchscreen user interface. 

The EDXRF measuring head assembly comes from the well-established NEX QC+ high-resolution benchtop instrument for superior analytical performance and reliability. This proven technology, combined with a 50 kV X-ray tube, a silicon drift detector (SDD), and a standardized, optimized suite of tube filters, makes the NEX OL well-suited for many process control applications.
