Abstract Cost-effective operation of centrifugals requires frequent monitoring of the centrifugal performance. In order to optimise the separation process without sacrificing the quality many beet factories and refineries have installed Neltec ColourQ 800 in-line instruments for continuous colour measurement. The instruments are calibrated to ICUMSA colour in solution and have a good accuracy. Compared to the lab results, the instruments don’t add any significant error. The range of colours measured at different installations is from below 10 up to 4000 ICU. |
