Finding the optimum level in coke drums: Application of the month

02. May
Coke drum
The delayed coking unit is arguably one of the most important applications in a refinery, and maximizing its efficiency with accurate and reliable level measurements gives operators the ability to safely increase throughput and minimize downtime. Since this is a volatile process in a large vessel with thick walls, radiometric instrumentation has been proven to be the best solution.

Reliable levels for the right taste: Fohrenburg brewery relies on VEGA sensors

15. April
Anyone who has a unicorn in their coat of arms must certainly believe in magic and power of legend. Since 1260, the unicorn has featured in both the emblem of Bludenz and the trademark of the Fohrenburg brewery. However, in everyday beer production, instead of magic, it is better to rely on real measured values, preferably those delivered by VEGA sensors.

Electronic differential pressure detects density changes in the beer fermentation tank: Application of the Month

01. April
Fermentation Vessels combine wort and yeast to make beer.
A brewery's fermentation tank is arguably one of the most important steps in the entire beer making process. It's where the beer is made. That's why it's important to have an accurate and reliable measurement of how efficiently the ingredients are working to make the final product.

Pressure transmitter with ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell meets the stringent demands of the pharmaceutical industry

14. March
Thanks to its wide measuring range, one VEGABAR 82 sensor is sufficient, where previously two pressure transmitters operated in parallel.
A good example of this can be found at CARBOGEN AMCIS AG, where VEGABAR Series 80 is used for pressure measurement. Thanks to their wide measuring range and ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell, these high-performance pressure transmitters meet the requirements of bioprocesses, from fermentation and filtration to purification.
