What is NeSSI?• Industry-driven effort to define
and promote a new standardized alternative to sample conditioning systems for analyzers and sensors
Standard fluidic interface for modular surface-mount components
ISA SP76
Standard wiring and communications interfaces
Standard platform formicro analytics
NeSSI™ - objectivesFacilitate the acceptance / implementation of
modular, miniature & smart sample system technology based on ANSI/ISA SP76 standard
Provide a technology bridge to the process for...“sensor/lab-on-a-chip” micro-analytical devices
Promote the concept of field-mounted (By-Line) smart analytical systems
Lay the groundwork for Pipe to Pixel™ open connectivity architecture for intrinsically safe transducer communications and industry standard communication protocols

There are no purely technical questions...
• How does Process Analytics add value?

...just technical aspects of economic questions
• What’s on the horizon?
Processing Plants and Process Analytics• Scale of plants is huge: millions of tons per year of products
– commodity products – margins are small ‐ costs are crucial• Flow rates of hundreds of tons per hour in pipes and vessels
– if something goes wrong you quickly have a large amount of off‐spec material
“Measurement of the chemical composition or physical properties of the streams inside a processing plant”
Attributes• Continuous analysis• Unattended operation
– data available round the clock, close to real time

What technologies will influence measurement?In Process Analytics, advances are often enabled
by developments in other technology disciplines– communications, computing, semiconductor manufacturing,...
Lasers and detectors• lower cost, more reliable, more tuneable, shorter
wavelength
Computing technology• intelligent systems, data visualisation
Communications• wireless systems
Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical Systems (MEMS)• integration of mechanical elements, sensors,
actuators, electronics on a silicon substrate
Nanotechnology• structures, devices and systems at nanometer scale Quadrupole MS on a chip: Photo courtesy of Microsaic Systems Ltd.

Estimated value of the installed base of process analyser systems USD 15 Billion
Estimated annual market for new equipment- analysers, sample systems, system integration
USD 1.8 Billion
Estimated annual maintenance value (2006) USD 3.5 Billion
Estimated future growth rate (CAGR 2006 to 2012) 5 - 6% per year

It is estimated that over a 15 year life:... for every $1 we spend building a system ...

Summary: in the future expect:
• More on-line Process Analytics systems, less lab measurements– driven by value of measurements
• Smarter, integrated systems– driven by lower cost to own
• Smaller, located closer to the process or inside the process– driven by lower cost to build
• More spectroscopic techniques– tuneable lasers, optical cavities, chemometrics
• More MEMs-based analysers– micro-GCs, micro-MS,...
• More nano-sensors
Goals and Expectations for this Session
NeSSI Platform/SAM/Component/Product developers:
• Provide an overview of the current status and availability of NeSSI based products and sensors
• Obtain input and get alignment on the goals for an overall smart analytical system architecture based on the NeSSI/SAM sampling/communication platform
• Understand the role of the Sensor Actuator Manager (SAM) and what gaps exist in terms commercializing a “standard” SAM device
• Identify the gaps in the current NeSSI platform, sensors, SAM applets etc. that will allow targeted development
• Understand the options for adopting external communication protocols based on OPC and other standard DCS communication protocols
End‐users
• Learn what is new from the NeSSI product developers• Learn about the current acceptance of NeSSI based system and the extent it will become the de facto sampling and smart analytical system implementation for new and replacement projects
• Assist with identifying gaps that are preventing general acceptance of NeSSI‐based analytical systems at the end‐user level
• Understand the drive towards Gen II/III systems that will achieve lower total cost of ownership
System Integrators:
• Understand the reasons for adapting your business model for supporting NeSSI /SAM and Smart Analytical Systems
• Provide input as to what is necessary to adopt NeSSI based systems at the system integration level
Micro‐Analytical Sensor Developers
• Learn how to use the NeSSI platform to facilitate the design of micro‐analytical sensors that will interface to a process sample via the NeSSI sampling platform, interfacing to SAM and taking advantage of existing communication interfaces to DCS and other remote diagnostic HMIs
Newcomers
• Become familiar with the Gen II and Gen III concepts that support a new generation of Smart Analytical Systems and the role of NeSSI/SAM as an enabling sampling and communications platform
• Participate in a forum where you can network with suppliers, end‐users, system integrators and technology developers that will bring you up to speed about this new paradigm in process analysis that is a major driver towards lowering the total cost of ownership of a new generation of process analyzers
Addendum
• Relevant Status of Developments on display in the exposition hall
• NeSSI Newsletter topics are being requested
• The Program for IMTeC in Paris, Francein June (1‐4) is being developed and Steve Doe is buying his ticket asap
