Measuring total solids at the digestion process - Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co.KG

Measuring total solids measurement prior to the digester

To run the process as efficiently as possible, it is necessary to know the exact dry content in the inlet, because the digester gas yield depends, among other things, on the dry matter. Berthold‘s microwave-based systems provide real-time solids content and enable reliable monitoring and optimisation of the digestion process.

Technical Features

Reliable online concentration measurement
Representative output with microwave transmission measurement through entire pipe or through product stream
No wear of components
Precise measurement with only one calibration coefficient even with different sludges
Automatic temperature compensation
Maintenance-free measuring system

Customer benefits

Precise determination of the dry content in the inlet of the digestion tower
Increase in gas yield
Reduction of heating costs by reducing the amount of water in the digestion tank
Non-optical measurement, therefore unaffected by impurities

Berthold's measurement solution

MicroPolar LB 566

MicroPolar is the latest microwave based online analyzer for the reliable measurement of dry substance, water content, or density (e.g. in g/l, Brix, or °Bé).
