On-line continuous measurement of colour in sugar factories
Author Bjarne Chr. Nielsen, Neltec.
Presented at The Xth Symposium of the Association Andrew Van Hook in March 2003 on Measurement and Automatic Control in Sugar Factories.
Abstract An instrument for real-time automatic measurement of sugar colour in solution is now in use in many sugar factories and refineries. The system measures white, yellow, and brown sugars. The measurements are taken on the wet or dry crystalline sugar without any sample preparation. This presentation will cover the main aspects of the principle of measurement and discuss some typical applications. The robustness, stability, calibration and accuracy of the instrument will also be discussed. |
