Diatomaceous earth filter
Differential pressure and limit level measurement in the diatomaceous earth filter
Process data
Measuring task:
Differential pressure and limit level measurement
Measuring point:
Tank
Measuring range up to:
+3 bar
Medium:
Diatomaceous earth, green beer
Process temperature:
+1 … +10 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +3 bar
Special challenges:
Abrasion
Application
After a large part of the yeast has already been filtered out in the separator, the brew leaves the green beer storage tank and is pumped into the diatomaceous earth filter for filtration. Here, the remaining yeast cells and other substances causing turbidity are removed with the help of diatomaceous earth, which clarifies the beer. The limit level is detected in the diatomaceous earth storage tank. If necessary, diatomaceous earth is added to the diatomaceous earth filter via water inflow. The degree of contamination of the diatomaceous earth filter is monitored by an electronic differential pressure measuring system.
