Innovative Measuring Technology for Efficient Processes

Krohne (Germany) measuring devices for flow, level, temperature and pressure ensure ideal, reliable and cost-effective processes in biodiesel and bioethanol facilities. All around the world, people are looking for environmentally sound energy sources such as bioethanol and biodiesel. The challenge is to create CO2-neutral manufacturing processes for alternative fuels while keeping operating costs low. State-of-the-art facilities for manufacturing biofuels are prime examples of efficiency: By-products are either reused in the process or are recycled for use in other applications. Steam and heat are recovered and even the smallest parts of the process are optimized to maximize efficiency.

With a wide range of measuring devices for the crucial points in the process, Krohne ensures that all processes run efficiently and that the CO2 balance in production is correct. Krohne measuring devices do not only measure pressures and temperatures in these processes, they also monitor a careful dosing of raw materials and material currents. Thanks to innovative measuring technology, operators know all about every point in their system and, based on this, can decide what the optimum operating level of the system is. In addition, Krohne measuring devices feature long-lasting reliability and accuracy.

A new brochure sheds light on the specific measuring technology issues when it comes to biofuels. In addition, the wide range of products from classic variable area flowmeters to reliable radar level measuring devices in storage silos and innovative coriolis mass flowmeters for fermentation and distillation processes are described in detail.
