A fast and accurate analysis of the liming process is an important step in juice purification in a sugar factory. The on-line process analysis enables continuous process monitoring of the beet juice, enabling immediate process regulation. The automated sampling process optimizes reliability.
Continuous analysis of pH, alkalinity, and lime consumption
Permanent determination of product characteristics
Process optimization
Saving of raw and auxiliary materials
Saving of human resources
The complete system is controlled by a computing system which also controls all actuators and sensors using specially designed software for the application. All actions of the analysis process can be monitored online. After concluding the titration and calculation of results, all data can be transferred to external MIS or data base systems via standard interfaces.
A component of the pre and/or main liming tank is guided to a sample selection system which takes the sample to the measuring module. The order of the sample selection can be configured to your current needs. In the process titration module, the sample volume is prepared in a defined way. Hot samples are cooled down in the double-jacketed reactor, followed by the titration which uses a pH electrode to control the titration volume.
