With high

quality, saving resources: LiquiSonic®. h-value, innovative sensor technology. curate, user-friendly. LiquiSonic® is an inline analytical system for determining the concentration in liquids directly in the running process and without delay. The device is based on high-precision measurement of the absolute sonic velocity and process temperature and thus allows the detection of phase transitions. Benefits for the user include: · immediate detection of phase transitions (response time less than 1 s) · replacement of manual, visual or indirect detection methods (e.g. timing) · improvement of...

Phase separation in pipelines The precise detection of different phases in a pipeline is necessary in various industries. Often different products flow through the same pipe, but every single product is supposed to end in a different location. In applications in which product A is discharged by product B, the intermediate phase is to be separated. For example, in breweries, different kinds of beer are bottled in succession, whereas the first and last runnings are removed from circulation and return into the brewing process. Safety aspects are relevant in applications with high-risk...

Application example 2: biodiesel / glycerol In the manufacture of biodiesel, glycerol is produced as a by-product. The mixture of the two substances is conveyed in large settling tanks and then has several hours to separate. The LiquiSonic® sensors are usually installed into the outlet of the tank. By the detection of the phase transitions, the valve is activated and the biodiesel and the glycerol is supplied to the processing. The intermediate phase returns to the separation process. Application example 3: integrated valve solution Various vessel configurations such as agitators, double...

Phase separation in continuous processes In a continuous process, one or more sensors control the separation of a process stream. In this case, only the phase-specific value of sonic velocity is monitored and kept constant. Often, the product concentration of the carrier phase varies in the inlet. This quickly shifts the height of the phase boundary. Thus, the carrier phase could be pulled off with the product, which greatly affects the purity. In process the separation is made via one pump in each of the two outlet pipes. In this way, for example, the continuous separation of a reaction...

LiquiSonic® system

LiquiSonic® system The LiquiSonic® 30 system consists of one or more senors and one controller. The controller has a data log that stores up to 15,000 datasets each with 32 measuring values. The software SonicWork facilitates to read-out the data log and create own process reports in an easy manner. An additional function integrated in the controller is the event log. This feature documents events like manual product switch, changes on date, time or system states. Controller and field housing The controllers are designed for rack-mounted systems. It is also available with a 19“ housing 3RU....
