Process Analytics in Breweries

Improving Consistency of the Brewing Process Overcoming Uncerainties with t Real-Time Measurement Yeast propagation and pitching are the most important steps during beer production. These processes require a defined yeast management procedure, but are often operated based on experience or offline analysis of the viable yeast. ■     Huge variations in fermentation times ■     Inability to fully utilize valuable assets ■     Filtration difficulties ■     Flavor variation O F F L I N E A N A LYSI S CAN C A U SE Q U A L I T Y VA R I AT I O N C ONS TANT Q U ALIT Y WIT H I N L I N E ANALY S IS How...

BREWERY PROCESS ANALYTICS Raw materials for beer are basic - water, barely, hops, and yeast - but making beer is a multi-step process that must be monitored and controlled in order to steadily produce high-quality, mouth-watering beer. Hamilton sensors allow you to regulate a broad set of parameters that are essential to the brewing process. Inline measurement and control of analytical parameters such as pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and viable cell density are essential to the brewing process. wort copper Fermentation and Storage Cellar filling line storage tank water preparation waste...

Our Sensors – Your Benefits EasyFerm Bio The EasyFerm Bio family of pH electrodes is ideal for food & beverage applications like fermentations, where cleaning in place (CIP), steam sterilization (SIP) and autoclavation procedures occur frequently. Precise measurement and long sensor durability can be achieved due to the high performance coatramic diaphragm and the CIP-resistant HB pH glass. The certified reference electrolyte “Foodlyte” has passed biocompatibility tests successfully. Benefits ■     Fast recovery and stable measurement signals after several CIP, SIP and autoclavation procedures...

CELL DENSITY SENSOR FAMILIES Incyte Arc The Incyte Arc sensor enables continuous, real-time, inline measurement of viable yeast in solution. It is capable to support yeast management during propagation and pitching, to ensure consistent brewing results. COND SENSOR FAMILY Benefits ■     Determination of viable yeast ■     Improved yeast management due to real-time data ■     Possibility to better define pitching and propagation times ■     Increase product consistency The Conducell 4UxF is capable of measuring a broad range of conductivity (from 1 to 500’000 µS/cm (Analog) and 1 to 300’000 µS/cm...
