Glanbia - Cream Seperator |
Reliable on-line COD analysis from an application with high levels of fats and calcium with the BioTector 970.
- Automatic cleaning of sample lines ensures trouble free operation
- Fast payback on installation – monitoring dramatically reduces waste
- Reliable analysis with COD readings from 100 to 50000 mg O/l
Application Description
The need to increase the efficiency of the cream separator plant while at the same time reducing the level of waste produced prompted Glanbia to install a BioTector 970 TOC analyser to monitor the fallout from the plant. Due to the nature of the waste, the Biotector was equipped with a Teflon PFA Reactor, Fluorocarbon High Range Valve and Cleaning Cycle Valve.
- The BioTectors Teflon PFA Reactor allowed the use of HCl, which ensured that there was no build-up of calcium in the rector.
- With the Fluorocarbon High Range Valve, the BioTector can measure beyond 50000 mgO/l without dilution.
- A special cleaning solution, consisting of a special mix of Nitric and Phosphoric acids in the ratio of 2:1 was used to clean the sample lines. This resulted in reliable and trouble free operation.
The Installation
The BioTector 970 monitoring the fallout from the cream separator plant at Glanbia, installed in a 2m x 2m cabin directly over the waste pipe leading to the WWT plant.
Along with the BioTector 970, the cabin is used to house the chemicals required by the BioTector and also the cleaning solution used to clean the sample line.
