CO2 is a fundamental building block in the global decarbonization process. In order to successfully develop the individual processes for the separation of CO2 in the coming years, a reliable transport network, for example via pipelines, is a key issue.

Here, process analytics plays an important role here to efficiently monitor and control the primarily innovative sustainable processes. This increases the plant yields, optimizes energy costs and ensures product specifications.

The objective of this paper is to present and discuss solution sets for online analytics such as process chromatography or spectroscopy for CO2 product quality by means of typical measuring tasks. The presentation elaborates the capabilities to simplify and standardize the analytical solution for some representative application examples including the impact on life cycle management.
