This is by far the most popular and cost-saving application in liquid production processes. The resulting decrease in product loss and wastewater loading can save thousands of dollars per year.
|
An inline turbidity meter or colorimeter is installed at strategic points in the process, allowing immediate detection of product-to-product and product-to-water interfaces. This allows instant and accurate monitoring of push-outs or product changeovers.

Interface Detection - Product - Water or Product - Product Benefits |
- Increases Product Quality
- Faster Product Changeovers
- Reduced Product Waste
- Reduced in Sewerage Costs
- Improved Process Control
- ROI in Months or Weeks

Based on the process media and automation requirements, the determining principle of measurement could be color detection / monitoring, solids detection / monitoring, or both, using light from Ultra Violet (UV) to Near Infrared (NIR).
|
Either an inline sensor body or a probe-style sensor may be used for this application. Using inline photometry, even subtle changes to the process liquid can be detected and appropriate action can be taken by the control system. Plant personnel can configure the control system or contact outputs to initiate valves or a control sequence to switch to different filler, activate waste treatment routine, or other desired actions. Instrument outputs may be logged for quality control records.
