Product Loss
Environment and Process measurement using on-line analysers, samplers and flow-meters can bring significant cost benefits to the food& drink industry.
Organic Measurement:
- On-line BOD - product loss reduction, WWTP protection and discharge consent
- On-line COD - control of trade effluent
- On-line TOC - control of WWTP and product loss
Additional Monitoring Equipment:
Parameter monitoring can be enhanced by using a flowmeter to indicate the 'load'. Online monitoring alone, generally only indicates the strength of a possible contamination, combining this with accurate flow monitoring helps to indicate the full story.
Spot-sampling using an automatic sampling device or a dip probe acb be used for verification of the performance of an on-line monitor. For example, we often use our 3100 hand-held Dissolved Oxygen monitor to verify the fixed site version (Model 1000). In this case the sensor is the same, so this is an ideal scenario.
It is not often that you can find in instant readout device for verification of complex monitoring. In these cases, we would use a photometer such as the Macherey Nagel PF-12 and the Nanocolor range of tests.
