Pulse Instruments - Model AP100-EC -Electrodeless Conductivity Meter for Wash Water Automation
In food processing and related applications, wash water can become contaminated with suspended organic matter, leading to microbial growth, increased sanitizer use, and process control issues that may affect food safety and quality. The AP100-EC controller from Pulse Instruments addresses these issues by using an electrodeless conductivity sensor to monitor water quality. When conductivity exceeds the set threshold, an automatic valve releases the dirty water, replacing it with fresh water until desired conductivity levels are restored. This system is more cost-effective and easier to maintain than turbidity sensors. It features a large, icon-based display, an adjustable 4-20 mA output for current measurement values, and push-button set point selection. A specially designed flow cell enhances sensitivity and accuracy by allowing high flow through the system, and the sensor integrates with other water sensors. The unit includes a controller, the electrodeless sensor, an actuated ball valve, and a sensor flow cell. The sensor operates in the range of 0 to 12,000 µS with high accuracy.In typical food process and related applications, wash water gets loaded with matter. These suspended organics can become harborage sites for microbes, create a high demand for sanitizers and other chemicals, cause process control variations, and compromise food safety and quality.
Model AP100-EC controller can automatically open a drain valve as water gets dirty, and maintain wash water quality. When the Conductivity value goes above the set point, an automatic valve is activated to release the dirty water to drain. As fresh make-up water enters the tank, it lowers the Conductivity Value. When the measured value reaches the set point, it shuts the drain valve off.
Unlike Turbidity sensors that are very expensive, cumbersome and hard to maintain, the Unique Electrodeless Conductivity Sensor is inexpensive, and requires virtually no maintenance.
It has a large display with icon based programming, and shows the current measurement value, push button set point selection, with adjustable 4-20 mA output.
A specially designed flow cell allows high flow through the system for greater sensitivity and accuracy, and the sensor may be placed in line with other water sensors.
