Possible Applications of Hyperspectral Sensing in the Chemical Industry

Applications of hyperspectral sensing possibly of use in the chemical industry (based on researching the Internet) include: 

  • Analyzing processing problems
  • Assisting efforts in spill clean up
  • Detecting chemicals in plumes
  • Detecting chemicals in the soils in and around chemical plants
  • Detecting leaks
  • Detecting plastic compositions and impurities in plastic wastes
  • Detecting product loss
  • Determining pipeline integrity
  • Monitoring changes in the chemical plant’s environment
  • Monitoring facility and other infrastructure conditions
  • Product quality control
  • Soil properties of current or potential chemical plant sites
  • Vegetation control 

Companies that offer hyperspectral sensors include: 

Hyperspectral sensing explanations and applications are provided at these company websites. 

Recently the following companies have been (or are being) established to pursue the positioning of low-orbiting satellites for the purpose of obtaining hyperspectral data for various applications, such as some of those identified above: 

Hyperspectral sensors can also be mounted on drones and on tripods (i.e., stationary mounts). 

The use of hyperspectral sensors apparently is greatly increasing in recent years as their capabilities and usefulness grow.   This is not surprising given the many applications that hyperspectral sensors can be used for, such as those listed above.
