Preserve CO₂ When Purging Beer Tanks With the Mettler Toledo InTap Portable Dissolved Oxygen Analyzer

A craft brewer uses CO₂ to purge oxygen from the headspace in bright beer tanks to reduce dissolved oxygen levels in final products. They used a time-based method to determine when to determine purge completion, but this is an imprecise method that can overuse expensive CO₂. METTLER TOLEDO provided the InTap portable oxygen analyzer to the craft brewer. InTap measures dissolved oxygen levels down to 2 ppb using a highly precise optical sensor, making it suitable for a wide range of brewery applications ranging from purging to monitoring filling lines.

This video discusses how a craft brewer reduced CO2 use with a convenient, portable oxygen meter.

It addresses critical issues concerning beer production, such as: 

• Complete tank purge determination.
• Why use a portable meter to measure dissolved oxygen? 
• How to Increase Your Product Quality Confidence

Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter With Power Over Ethernet Wins Vaaler Award

Founded more than  50 years ago, The Vaaler Awards recognize products and services that have significantly improved the operations and economics of chemical facilities. An independent and impartial panel of judges drawn from the industry's major chemical businesses select products based on the relevance of the contribution to chemical plant operations, novelty or distinctiveness, and breadth of application are all factors considered by these assessors. 

The 2021 recipient is Hawk Measurement for their Centurion Guided Radar (CGR) Level Transmitter. 

The CGR Level Transmitter is the industry's first and only Guided Wave Radar level transmitter with Power over Ethernet (PoE) communications. Secure in-plant and remote monitoring and remote sensor setup, diagnostics, and troubleshooting are advantages of PoE connectivity. 

The Centurion Guided Radar (CGR) Level Transmitter is suited for level and interface monitoring of liquids, sludge, powders, and grains up to a range of 38m (124ft). Pressure, temperature, viscosity, vacuum, foam, dust, variations in dielectric constant, and probe coating do not affect this technology.

Freeze Protection Season is Around the Corner. Get Ready Now.

Winter is quickly approaching. It's time to assess your plant's heat tracing system and ensure it's working correctly. Alliance Technical Sales can assist you with heat tracing, control, and monitoring equipment. Along with industrial pipe heat tracing, Alliance can help you with commercial pipe tracing and surface snow melting. 

Anticipating freezing temperatures and protecting buildings, equipment, and grounds from freeze damage are critical components of a Facility Maintenance Program. Pipe tracing, drum heating, roof and gutter de-icing, IBC heating, valve de-icing, vessel heating, and enclosure heating are just a few of the freeze protection applications to consider.

Most common objects to consider for seasonal freeze protection:

• Pipe heat tracing
• Drum heaters
• Tote heaters
• Gas cylinder heaters
• External tank heaters
• Roof & gutter de-icing
• Snow melting mats

Plant operators and maintenance personnel must be vigilant to keep their equipment from freezing. Cold temperatures frequently cause objects and their contents to be damaged or destroyed. Pipes, valves, tanks, vessels, conveyors, and housings are just a few examples of everyday things that can be damaged by cold temperatures, resulting in disastrous consequences, costly downtime, and unplanned outages. 

BriskHeat provides an excellent Freeze Protection Planning Guide and Checklist. Download it here. 

Make sure that any freeze protection requirements you have are ready. Failure to ensure adequate protection in these systems against freezing can have disastrous consequences. Act now to stay ahead of your freeze protection requirements before it's too late.

Jogler Magnetostrictive and LIDAR Level Transmitters

This video illustrates the technology used in the Jogler MGT-6000, ILT-6000, and LLT-1000. Both the ILT-6000 and the LLT-1000 are Magnetostrictive Level Transmitters, whereas the LLT-1000 is a LIDAR Level Transmitter. 

The MGT-6000 Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter is a loop-powered non-contact level measurement device that attaches to a magnetic level gauge. The MGT-6000 uses the magnetostrictive principle and time-of-flight calculations to quickly and accurately measure float position and, ultimately, the liquid level in the indicator. Elastomeric vibration-isolating bushings ensure continuous operation in high-vibration environments. 

The ILT-6000 Direct Insertion Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter is a non-contact loop-powered level measurement device installed directly into a process vessel. The ILT-6000 provides a fast and accurate measurement of float position and, ultimately, the liquid level in the gauge by utilizing the magnetostrictive principle and time-of-flight calculations. The ILT-6000 installs in an isolation well assembly, which allows the transmitter to be removed, serviced, or replaced without disrupting the process. 

The LLT-1000 LIDAR Level Transmitter is a laser-based non-contact instrument for measuring dry solids and opaque liquids in silos, tanks, hoppers, and other vessels. The LLT-1000's 4-20mA and relay outputs allow its use in a variety of control schemes.
