Applications
In the bioethanol industry, product quality is inextricably linked to
measurement quality. Anton Paar, global leader in digital density
measurement for over 40 years, provides rugged, high-precision
instruments that optimize real time process and quality control,
ensuring maximum efficiency and economy.

Online Monitoring of slurry (mash) solids concentration


Stable slurry solids concentration facilitate optimal enzyme use, and boost efficiency of
fermentation. This improves the alcohol yield.

Monitoring of sugar concentration


Online Monitoring of sugar concentration
Adjustment to constant sugar concentration before fermentation maintains ideal conditions
for fermentation.

Monitoring the Beer


Alcohol concentration is determined from a distilled sample. This ensures consistency for
subsequent processes.

Online Monitoring of the alcohol concentration


Monitoring of the alcohol concentration
Checking the efficiency of distillation ensures that the target of 96% v/v alcohol is reached.

Online Monitoring of the alcohol concentration


Monitoring of the alcohol concentration
The minimum alcohol content must be met. Accuracy is key: With high-precision
measurements and close process monitoring profitability is improved.

Online Monitoring of the alcohol concentration


Monitoring of the alcohol concentration
Continuous data recording to document quality of the end product. Approved fiscal
measurement may be required.

Monitoring the denaturation process


To convert the water content from moisture analyser in %v/v from %w/w accurate density
is required.

Online Monitoring of syrup concentration in the DDGS production


The solids concentration signal is used to control the flow rate through the evaporator.
Considerable energy savings are achieved by operating at ideal solids levels.

Monitoring the distillation Process


Alcohol concentration is determined from a distilled sample. This allows the determination
of the loss of alcohol, increasing the efficiency of the distillation.
