Economical Compact Emulsion In-line Refractometer

Measuring liquid concentration or density in-line is important in the chemical industry as density variations have impact on both raw materials and finished products. Process safety is also mandatory, since hazardous chemicals represent a potential risk to people and the environment. While managing these challenges, chemical manufacturers strive to produce high-quality products that meet customers’ specifications. To achieve these goals, accurate process measurements, high process efficiency, low energy consumption, and state-of-the-art process control management are crucial.

ZHYQ GND15 process refractometer is designed to measure and indicate inline liquid concentration of almost any chemical or compound.

Typical application: water based solution ; emulsion dosing system

The refractometer can be installed cost-efficiently in the main processing line, bypass line or vessel to control the raw and in-process materials in order to extract their maximum value and achieve high quality end products. The performance of all types of chemical refining, manufacturing, and quality-control operations can be dramatically improved with Vaisala’s refractive index measurement technology – whether they are in continuous or batch processes.

Unlike intermittent sampling, continuous monitoring provides instant feedback on changes in the process, and this data can enable real-time and precise process control of the common chemical industry operations, e.g.:

1.Reactor, reaction degree, and endpoint determination

2.Evaporation

3.Dissolving tank or vessel

4.Dilution, mixing or blending

5.Solid-liquid extraction

6.Absorbers and wet scrubbers

7.Ion exchangers

8.Distillation

9.Interface detection and product identification of product-to-product interfaces in loading/ unloading

10.Quality control

Using the ZHYQ concentration measurement technique and its easy integration into plant engineering systems enables significant improvements in the plant capacity, the process safety or product yields.
