BrewDog, producers of high quality beers and one of the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly breweries in the world, has now ordered a second Optek Haze Control system.
The optek Haze Control DTF16 allows you to measure and control this crucial process and provides real-time quality assessment. In addition to releasing beer by instrument, there are tremendous opportunities to reduce beer loss, media usage and production costs while increasing filtration capacity and ensuring consistent product quality.
The optek Haze Control / DTF16 relies on a dual angle, scattered-light measurement for precise quality control during final beer filtration independent of colour and colour changes. Using this sensor downstream of the filter monitors filter performance, preventing out of spec product while ensuring beer quality and clarity at each filtration step. The 11 channel is sensitive to particle size change and immediately detects break through and other non-normal turbidity events, while the 90 channel quantifies the visual clarity for quality assurance.
Why is 11 degrees better than the traditional 25 degrees measurement? Scattered light at 11 degrees is more specific due to a higher signal and will detect abnormal particulate faster without the influence from colloidal material common at 25 degrees. This also aids in the prompt troubleshooting of filtration problems. Variable disturbances, such as sample colour, colour changes and lamp variations have no influence on the measured value.

Oil in produced water measurement system by Optek has recently been commissioned at a production facility in Chad. The levels of oil in water vary from low PPM in normal operation to much higher levels that will alarm then trip the processing units. Reliability and accuracy are key in such harsh environments, Optek were the selected supplier for this due to many years of experience and successfully providing similar systems. The dual range sensor TF16 and controller C4000 measure and provide real time oil in water ppm measurement to allow optimal operation of this process.

Major UK Pharmaceutical company is using the Optek Single Use Cell (SUC) for new high value production facility where inline accurate UV/ph/cond measurement is critical for UF/DF efficiency.

AB Inbev have installed Optek turbidity sensors for separator solids measurement and control.

United Biscuits have ordered the third Sensortech Moisture meter for inline caramel moisture measurement and control.

Nestle are now using K-Patents Process Refractometer PR 23 AC to measure total solids content of skimmed milk.

Molson Coors Burton have recently installed Optek DTF16 Haze Control on two filters. Commissioning assistance was provided from Flowcon and Optek and now both systems are providing valuable real time quality measurement of Haze and filter efficiency.

Flowcon are appointed UK representative for Optek-Danulat GmbH, manufacturers of high-performance inline photometric analyzers for liquid and gas-processing applications.Optek has developed a complete line of turbidity meters, colorimeters, UV absorption, and pH and conductivity sensors that are installed in some of the toughest process conditions, in plants all over the world. With the addition of the products from Optek-Danulat, Flowcon now offer an increased capability in liquid and gas process analysis.

Seasonal flu vaccines production using ultracentrifugation for viral particle separation can be considerably improved by using K-Patents Refractometer. The fractionation of viral rich material can be controlled using K-Patents Pharma refractometer. The different fractions with viral rich and disposable material are separated based on their sucrose density gradients.

K-Patents Refractometer for the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) Serving Food Industry K-Patents provides Refractometer PR-33-AC, which is a light, compact style refractometer model designed to meet the needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and integrators serving beverage, dairy and food processing industries. Installed in the main processing line and no by-pass arrangements are required. Has a full measurement range of 0-100 Brix. Provides a 4-20 mA output signal proportional to the temperature compensated Brix value for real-time process control. Calibration and accuracy can be easily verified on-site with standard Refractive Index liquids. Freely interchangeable without optical recalibration or parameter changes. Does not require any maintenance recalibration.
