Charis Technology has been providing unique and reliable solutions to foam control problems for more than 15 years.. The Charis systems allow foam detection and, liquid level control even in the presence of severe fouling thanks to their IMA Sensing® technology.
These measurements can be carried out for water-based liquid and foam applications (through impedance), non water-based materials e.g oil, resin, solvents. Liquid level controls and foam detections remain unaffected by temperature, pH, conductivity changes or pressure. Charis sensors can be used in hazardous areas with suitable zener barriers.
There's no floating or moving parts which could jam the system. No special cleaning is required. The liquid height measurement has a precision of less than 0,1mm.
Two major ranges :
- SureSense : for a single point response for presence or absence of foam or liquid
- MultiSense : multiple parameters at the same time such as liquid level, interfaces between phases in the material, analogue foam detection, foam density , and conductivity.
There are numerous applications :
- Biotechnology or pharmaceuticals (continuous fermentation process or fedbatch ; concentration by ultrafiltration with a setpoint automatic shutdown ; height measurement into a bubble trap system)
- Food
- Chemicals
- Sugar
- Brewing
- Waste water
- Effluent
These detection systems deliver reliable control, optimize your process and substantially reduce anti-foam usage.
They consequently simplify purification applications, reduce production costs and allow better productivity thanks to better oxygen transfer and a higher usage volume. |
