intensity, as well as for contamination or dirt accumulation in the optical path.
Typical applications for CO2 measurements are greenhouses, fruit and vegetable storage, and monitoring in cold storage.
REFRACTOMETRY
Refractometry measures sugar content in products such as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, fruit products, and dairy. The in-line Vaisala K-Patents Sanitary Refractometers are used in many food and beverage applications for process monitoring and product quality control.
BIOGAS
Globally, there is an enormous focus on renewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions
reduction. Biogas offers
an opportunity to utilise waste products from agriculture and food production, and also displace fossil fuels as an energy source. Biogas can also generate electricity for use domestically and on farms.
We have developed multigas probe technology to enable biogas process optimisation, monitoring biogas inline and in real-time, and allowing operators to improve the
quality of biogas, lower costs, and improve process efficiency. Science can be defined as the
pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding, following a systematic methodology based on evidence.
At Vaisala, food is all about the science; measurement data from our instruments inform decisions and enable efficiency optimisation. ✷
