Conductivity Measurements in Wort/Water Interface

Product catalog summary
Application: Beer – Push Water Interface
Challenge: After boiling in the brew kettle, green beer is pushed by water to the whirlpool for fermentation. Conductivity measurement is crucial to determine the phase interface between beer and push water. Different beer brands, rinse water, and CIP solutions have unique conductivity values, requiring a sensor that can differentiate between these fluids and withstand CIP cycles.
Solution: The PUR-SENSE™ Model 410 Four-Electrode Conductivity Sensor from Rosemount Analytical accurately differentiates between beer brands, CIP solutions, and rinse water. It is made with FDA compliant materials and features a surface finish better than 16 µinch Ra. The sensor includes an integral RTD for fast temperature response and a compact design that does not impede flow in smaller fill lines. Various mounting configurations are available.
The Model 1056 Intelligent Analyzer works with the Model 410, offering improved signal conditioning for a wider conductivity range and allowing up to two sensor inputs. It features optional digital communications outputs, including Profibus and HART Protocol, for integration with DCS or PLC systems.
Results: The implementation of these instruments leads to faster beer changeovers, reduced beer loss, minimized off-spec products, and increased brewery profits.
Instrumentation: The PUR-Sense™ Model 410 is a highly accurate conductivity sensor with a better than 16 micro inch Ra surface finish and documented lot traceability on wetted components. The 1056 Dual Input Intelligent Analyzer supports up to two sensor inputs, offers optional digital protocols, and features an easy-to-use menu structure and display.

Conductivity Measurements in Wort/Water Interface-1

Application Data Sheet ADS 2000-07/rev.A March 2009 Food and Beverage Industry Dependable Conductivity Measurements in Wort / Water Interface RESULTS • Faster beer change over • Reduce lost beer with tighter measurements • Reduce off spec product • Increase Brewery Profits Beer – Push Water Interface The PUR-SENSE™ Model 410 Four-Electrode Conductivity Sensor from Rosemount Analytical can accurately differentiate between different beer brands, CIP solutions, and rinse water. The sensor is made with FDA Compliant materials and wetted surfaces have a better than 16 µinch Ra finish (not including the active electrode surface). The sensor has an integral RTD that contacts the process liquid through a stainless steel face, enabling fast response to temperature changes. The Model 410 also has a compact design. The sensor does not penetrate deep into the fill lines so the sensor will not impede the flow in smaller dimensional fill lines. Flexible process installation is available through a v a r i e t y o f d i f f e r e n t m o u n t i n g c o n f i g u r a tions: Varivent Type N, G 1-1/4, 1-1/2” and 2-inch Triclamp process connections available. CHALLENGE After Wort is boiled in the brew kettle, the green beer is “pushed” by water to the whirlpool to prepare for fermentation. Conductivity is a good technology to determine the phase interface between the beer and the push water. Conductivity measurement plays an important role in this process. Different brands of beer will have different conductivity values. The rinse water will also have a unique conductivity value based on the water source and treatment. Finally, CIP solutions will also have different conductivity values. The conductivity sensor needs to differentiate between all these different fluids as well as to be able to withstand the CIP cycles. The Model 1056 Intelligent Analyzer works with the Model 410. The 1056 has improved signal conditioning to allow a wider conductivity range with one sensor. The 1056 allows up to two sensors inputs, reducing cost and minimizing panel space. The 1056 has an optional Profibus digital communications output that can integrate with either a DCS or PLC. Another digital option is HART Protocol that can optimize the sensor’s performance when used with AMS.
