Methods for monitoring and modifying a fluid stream using opticoanalytical devices

摘要

In or near real-time monitoring of fluids can take place using an opticoanalytical device that is configured for monitoring the fluid. The opticoanalytical devices can be used for monitoring various processes in which fluids are used. The methods can comprise providing a fluid in a fluid stream and monitoring a characteristic of the fluid using a first opticoanalytical device that is in optical communication with the fluid in the fluid stream.
