In-Process Quality Prediction

Soft-sensor models predict purity, moisture content, and GC assay for fluorochemical products every 5 minutes — without waiting for offline lab results at batch end. Operators receive correction windows while the reaction is still controllable.

OPTIMISATION ENGINE

Continuous Yield Optimisation

Reinforcement learning models analyse reaction conditions — temperature profiles, catalyst loading, residence time — and recommend real-time parameter adjustments to maximise yield across fluorination and chloromethane reactors.
