System and Method for the Spectroscopic Determination of the Components and Concentrations of Pumpable Organic Compounds

An arrangement for the spectroscopic determination of the components and concentrations of pumpable organic waste, comprising:

• a sample vessel;
• a pump;
• and
• a measurement cell which form a unit together with a spectroscopic measurement head;
• said measurement cell being connected to the pump, which can be regulated to vary the flow rate, and to the sample vessel by a pipe;
• and
• said spectroscopic measurement head and the regulatable pump having electrical connections to a controlling and evaluating unit.

A method for the spectroscopic determination of the components and concentrations of pumpable organic waste, comprising the steps of:

• pumping a sample contained in a sample vessel by a pump through a measurement cell which forms a unit with a spectroscopic measurement head;
• allowing the measurement head to carry out a spectroscopic measurement of the sample flowing through the measurement cell using the principle of transflection;
• and
• conveying the measurement results for further processing to a controlling and evaluating unit which determines components and concentrations of substances contained in the sample based on stored specific calibrations.

A method comprising the steps of:

• pumping a sample to be measured by a pump through a measurement cell which forms a unit with a spectroscopic measurement head;
• allowing the measurement head to carry out a spectroscopic measurement of the sample flowing through the measurement cell by transmission and/or reflection;
• and
• conveying the measurement results for further processing to a controlling and evaluating unit which determines components and concentrations of substances contained in the sample based on stored specific calibrations;
• said sample to be measured is taken from the outlet line of a vessel arranged on a vehicle by a first three-way directional valve arranged in the pipe and is conveyed back into the outlet line by a second three-way directional valve arranged in the pipe after being measured.
