Demonstration of Acoustic Wave Technology Used in Industrial Level Applications
Acoustic Wave Technology from Hawk Measurement, utilizes lower frequency sound waves, and is an improved ultrasonic technique. This technology uses lower frequencies to produce higher power, with the additional enhancement by using a uniquely designed piston transducer.
The transmission of high-powered acoustic waves through the environment where the sensor resides ensures minimal losses. Any losses have much less impact than conventional ultrasonic instruments encounter due to the high-powered emitted pulse. This means more energy transfers and more energy returns as a result. Even when noise levels are high, the advanced receiver circuitry is designed to detect low-level return signals. The measured signal is temperature-compensated to give the outputs and the display maximum accuracy.
Typical Industrial Level Applications:
- Power Generation Stations: Boiler bunkers, raw coal bunkers, ash pits, fly ash silos, etc.
- Wastewater / Water Treatment: River level, wet wells, inlet screens, tanks, sumps, pump stations, water towers, dams, basin levels, chemical storage, etc.
- Mining Operations: Crushers, surge bins, ore passes, conveyor profile, blocked chute, stockpile, stackers, reclaimers, storage silos etc.
- Others Applications: Food processing, cement plants, plastics molding, grain storage, chemical processing, pulp & paper

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement for Craft Breweries
Oxygen is both friend and enemy to the brewer!
It gives yeast what it wants to breathe and survive during the fermentation process and then becomes your main antagonist after the yeast has done its job.Any process or transfer where beer becomes exposed to oxygen post-fermentation is an opportunity for oxygen to cause staling, muting, and shelf-life reduction. One example is the packaging process. The added oxygen resulting from placing the beer in cans, kegs, or bottles can affect the final product's consistency and taste.
As a brewer, you want to concentrate on producing the best-tasting beer. Therefore, it is critical to know how oxygen affects the brewing process and how packaging can eventually impact your beer's taste. It will give you the trust you need to create award-winning flavors that customers will enjoy, no matter how long the beer sits on the shelf.
METTLER TOLEDO Process Analytics offers the most accurate and cost-effective solutions for measuring dissolved oxygen in brewing applications. These robust optical dissolved oxygen sensors are durable and require minimal maintenance.

Complimentary Black Liquor Solids Testing Program offered by Electron Machine
Typical analyses of black liquor solids are conducted on periodic bases throughout the mill. These analyses consist of many samples being taken at critical locations and analyzed in the lab. This process can take many hours or even days to collect and determine the solids content.
Because of the recent demand for continued uptime and reduced labor forces at pulp and paper mills, industrial in-line refractometer manufacturer Electron machine offers a complimentary black liquor study service for pulp mills.
Solids Testing in Just 10 Seconds - Electron Machine Corporation's DSA E-Scan™ Black Liquor Analyzer
The service includes a 1-day on-site evaluation of the mill's current black liquor solids using Electron Machine's DSA E-Scan™, as well as any equipment and control practices used, and the identification of potential areas for improvement.
The DSA E-Scan™ is an automatic, bench-top critical angle refractometer with a digital readout and temperature-controlled sample chamber.
The DSA E-Scan™ provides solids measurements in just 10 seconds. It provides accuracy and repeatability as good as gravimetric methods. While the cost-benefit analysis of deploying the DSA E-Scan™ will vary from the paper mill to paper mill, there's no denying the magnitude of time savings the DSA E-Scan™ provides will significantly reduce cost.
Take advantage of this great offer from Electron Machine now!
