About the workshop: Photonic-based technologies hold the potential to revolutionize several sectors such as the oil & gas industry via both industrial processes optimization and advanced monitoring of the impact to the environment. HYDROPTICS, a research project funded under the Horizon 2020 framework by the European Commission, developed reliable, cost-effective, and high-accuracy monitoring solutions of produced water quality involved in up- and downstream processing in the oil industry based on novel mid-IR laser sources. The technological portfolio of the project also includes combination of the data from the new sensors with readily available process data, and a digital twin of the process apparatus to gain in-depth process understanding based on machine learning approaches. The outcome of the project is presented in the workshop.
First, Dr David Gachet from Alpes Lasers SA, a world leader in advanced mid-IR sources, and the HYDROPTICS coordinator will give an overview of the project.
Then, Prof. Benedikt Schwarz from the Technical University of Vienna will introduce dual-comb spectroscopy, one of the key technologies used in Hydroptics’ mid-IR analyzers.
The presentation of Dr Dongbo Wang from IMEC & Ghent University will focus on the innovative integration of dual mid-IR lasers on a silicon photonics platform, an important step toward the integration and miniaturization of sensors.
Dr Haddadi Bahram from the Technical University of Vienna will present a compact solution for continuous sample conditioning developed within the project, which was tailored for the needs of the industry.
Dominik Wacht from the Technical University of Vienna will present the novel mid-IR analyser developed within the project, which was tailored for the needs of the industry.
Dr Thomas Arnold from Silicon Austria Labs will describe a second technology developed by HYDROPTICS to characterise oil particles.
Finally, Dr Martin Datler from OMV will explain the value of field-testing analysers.
