The present invention relates to a communication
system (140), a
monitoring system (110) for in-situ monitoring of at least one substance (112) used in a gas scrubbing process, and related methods (310, 312), wherein the
monitoring system (110) includes the communication
system (140). The
monitoring system (110) can be used to monitor the at least one substance (112) and provide
processing data for
processing the at least one substance (112) via the communication
system (140). In this article, the communication system (140) includes a
cloud server (144), a first
server (146), at least one second
server (148, 148') and at least one third
server (150, 150'); wherein the first server (146) further has a first
communication interface (156) configured to provide reference spectral information and reference analytical data related to at least one
reference sample to the
cloud server (144); wherein each second server (148, 148') has a second
communication interface (158, 158') configured to provide spectral information related to at least one substance (112) to the
cloud server (144); wherein the cloud server (144) is configured to: generate a calibration model by using the reference spectral information and reference analytical data related to at least one
reference sample provided by the first server (146), wherein the calibration model includes at least one parameter; applying a calibration model to spectral information associated with at least one substance (112) provided by a second server (148, 148'), thereby extracting at least one value for the at least one parameter; providing at least one value for the at least one parameter to the first server (146) via a first
communication interface (156); wherein the first server (146) is further configured to determine
processing data by using the at least one value for the at least one parameter provided by the cloud server (144), wherein the processing data includes at least one piece of data associated with a recommended treatment of the at least one substance (112); wherein the first server (146) further has at least one third communication interface (160, 160'), wherein each third communication interface (160, 160') is configured to provide processing data to at least one third server (150, 150').
