ADM is proud to announce a new addition to its Sense & Control product range. Complementing the Vaisala Process Refractometer range, we now offer the Zutora SeedMaster-4, which provides innovative, real-time monitoring and control of Supersaturation in the sugar crystallisation process. What is Supersaturation? Supersaturation remains the Holy Grail in the crystallisation process, measuring and controlling it for quality control and resource management. If supersaturation is too low, sugar crystals will fail to form, whereas if supersaturation is too high, spontaneous nucleation can occur

Manual sampling waste-water sludge levels with a dipstick can be dirty work, lead to inconsistent results, and be potentially harmful to human operators.The Pulsar SludgeFinder 2.0 offers an innovative solution for management of wastewater settlement tanks and clarifiers, delivering continuous and reliable sludge level monitoring. This system enhances overall plant efficiency by precisely timing the start and stop of the tank filling or draining process, ensuring optimal operation. Sludge needs to be drained from the bottom of wastewater tanks when the sludge blanket level reaches a certain

Finding a reliable and robust sensor to measure the liquid level within a tank can be tricky. Finding a suitable liquid level measurement sensor depends on the type of media being measured within the tank or vessel, such as water level, fuel level, oil level, or even waste product level. In this article, we've compared Radar and Ultrasonic level sensors (also known as transmitters), both relatively safe methods for measuring water levels and fuel products, based on their working principle of "time of flight" to determine the level and see what is best suited for your level measurement

Having an accurate level measurement of your raw liquid materials is an integral factor of food & beverage production. In this article, we look at a customer case of a hydrostatic pressure sensor used for a bottled water supplier. The ADM Sense Team assisted a customer, who supplies high-quality spring water from an underground bore to a popular Australian bottled-water brand. ADM’s customer faces some unique challenges in sourcing the water, not only in terms of resource management. Given the operation's geography, the supplier must adhere to regulations that preserve the regional water table

Leaks and blockages in a pipeline of an installation can spell impending disaster for production, but how do we keep track of flow when an inline solution isn’t workable?The Pulsar Clamp On Transit-Time Flow meter can address these issues quickly through its non-invasive method ensuring production is not impeded negatively or too greatly. Pulsar PTFM 6.1 Transit-Time Flow Meter Key Takeaways Transit-time flow meters require clean water to perform measurements. The Pulsar PTFM 6.1 is a clamp-on ultrasonic transit-time flow meter solution, quickly deployed to any pipeline, including large pipes

This article delves into Vaisala Inline Process Refractometers, which improve and maintain sugar quality and consistency by constantly monitoring brix levels within the various phases of Sugar milling and refining production.

Mining operations have been known to employ slurry mixture pipelines to transport ore over long distances.. This method reduces cost of vehicle transport, particularly in remote locations. For mining operations using slurry pipelines, measuring flow is an integral indicator for monitoring production. More importantly, measuring flow is important to understand stress factors on your pipeline. Using Flow Meters to Monitor Pipeline Stability Irregular or sporadic changes in flow on slurry pipelines can affect the pipe integrity and footings for the pipe over great distances. Damage to these pipes

Beer Brewing is a fine art cultivated by those who have spent years meticulously refining their craft for the perfect delicious ale. But where does art meet science in achieving and keeping perfection? With various touch points of the brewing process, liquid concentration can be an integral factor in changing the quality and profile of your beer, and manual sampling refractometers may not quite hit the mark when needing to measure consistently, not to mention potentially introducing unwanted bacteria or wild yeast into your production. The Vaisala K-Patents and Polaris in-line process

Measuring liquid concentration within your food or beverage process is an integral factor in ensuring a high-quality product, maintaining your system efficiency and the sustainability of raw products for processing... This could be as simple as measuring sugar brix within your juice production, or perhaps alcohol within the various points of the distillery process of your whiskey, liquid concentration measurements play a very important role. Challenges of Measuring Liquid Concentration The challenge of measuring liquid concentration is that measurements are typically taken through manual

In this blog post we discuss how to use a gauss meter to measure the magnetic field around any power lines around your home.We strongly recommend that you read this post before going ahead and buying a gauss meter About Power Lines High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission plays a key role in our national electricity grid and offers distinct benefits in the network architecture. For example, it allows power transmission between two AC transmission networks that are running at different frequencies or are not perfectly synchronised. DC transmission is not subject to reactive power losses
