Yeast separator
Pressure and limit level measurement in the yeast separator
Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure and point level measurement
Measuring point:
Pipeline, separator
Measuring range up to:
+2.5 bar
Medium:
Green beer, yeast
Process temperature:
+3 … +120 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +2 bar
Special challenges:
Easy to clean, foaming in the yeast discharge
Application
After leaving the fermentation tank, the green beer is fed to the separator. There, a large part of the yeast is removed before filtration. To ensure a continuous supply to the separator, the pressure in the green beer supply line is monitored. A level detection system monitors the separated yeast, which settles in the lower part of the separator, and controls the cleaning process.
