Ethanol Measuring System EMS
The ethanol measurement system (EMS) continuously records mass flow and alcohol concentration. From these measurements, the system calculates the alcohol-water mixture (AWM) and pure alcohol at 20 °C and counts the quantities for official recording.
The EMS is designed as a frame-mounted system and is also suitable as a replacement/modernization for existing, technically outdated measuring sections – including secure evaluation and documentable counting.
Special features / characteristics:
Coriolis flow measurement in the main flow (mass flow)
Density measurement in the bypass to determine alcohol concentration
The evaluation computer processes both signals, counts volumes, stores data in a network-failure-proof manner, and displays the average concentration.
AWM and pure alcohol count (20 °C) for official recording
Sensors, fittings and pumps integrated into the stainless steel frame
Evaluation computer (including printer and counters) in the control cabinet outside the ATEX area
System and control cabinet prepared for official closure
Individual acceptance and testing by the BfB
Advantage:
Continuous, network failure-proof in-line recording and official-compliant counting of ethanol quantities – without media breaks.
FAQ:
Q: How is the alcohol concentration measured?
A: Via a Centec density measurement in the bypass; the mass flow is measured in the main flow via Coriolis.
Q: Is the system ATEX-compliant?
A: IP65; optional ATEX (Ex II 2G EEx d IIC T6). The control cabinet is located outside the ATEX area.
Q: For which industries is EMS typical?
A: Bioethanol production, monopoly distilleries and applications after dealcoholization.
Application:
The ethanol measurement system (EMS) is used wherever ethanol flows in a process need to be continuously measured and traceably documented. The system provides continuous in-line measurement of mass flow and alcohol concentration and calculates AWM (alcohol content) and pure alcohol at 20 °C for official recording.
Typical areas of application:
Bioethanol production
Monopol distilleries
Measurement points after dealcoholization
Measurement concept:
Mass flow rate: Measurement in the main flow via Coriolis flow meter
Concentration: Measurement in parallel via density measurement in bypass.
Evaluation: The evaluation computer processes both signals, counts volumes, stores data reliably in case of network failure, and displays the average concentration.
Modernization / Renewal:
When existing measuring lines are outdated or need to be renewed, the EMS, as an individually planned, frame-mounted system, is a structured solution for replacing or modernizing ethanol measurement – including secure evaluation and documentable counting.Technical data:
