Foam detection, best instrument
Foam detection, best instrument
(OP)
I have an application where an emulsion polymer is vacuum cooled, during the vacuum stage foam is formed at the top of the vessel, I am currently using a capacitance probe to detect the foam, but fouling is an issue. I was looking at a an article on guided radar, and this seemed like a possible alternative. Has anyone ever used this technology to detect foam? Is fouling an issue?





RE: Foam detection, best instrument
Do you need continuous or point measurement?
Is the capacitance probe you are using Teflon coated, or any other wetted material to reduce fouling?
I believe Drexelbrook also offers a level switch that offers better protection against coating. I think it's named Cote-Shield.
I have not used guided radar to detect foaming in a vessel.

I placed an order yesterday, and will follow up in few weeks to let everyone know how it works.
