CO 2 MEASUREMENT METHOD ±90 % Brewers use: Henry's Law "The volume of gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 9
CO 2 MEASUREMENT METHODS & EFFECT FOREIGN GASSES CO 2 Measurement based on HENRY s and DALTON s LAW CO 2 O 2, N 2, H 2 Henry: CO 2 = P * f (t) BEER Dalton: P = [P CO 2 + P O 2 + P H 2 + P N 2 ] A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 10
CO 2 MEASUREMENT ERROR SOURCES MANOMETRIC CO 2 MEASUREMENTS Foreign gasses in the beverage Changes in the atmospheric pressure (Note: Solved in most of the digital CO 2 meters by using a absolute pressure measurement) Composition of the beverage A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 11
OXYGEN MEASUREMENT METHODS: Manual Calculation Semi-automatic Competitor C: DO x Z Competitor B: HSO or DO O 2 (mg/l) 10 1 Zahm & Nagel Determination of total air Submerged funnel method Solubility tables for CO 2, O 2, N 2 TPO = DO x Z Uhlig Competitor A Haffmans c-dgm Optical O 2 TPO = DO x Z 0,1 0,01 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 FUTURE A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 12
OXYGEN MEASUREMENT METHODS: TPO based on Z-method according to Uhlig, Analytica-EBC Method 11.5. Cans are measured using the DO x Z method. Sample preparation according to EBC method: - Temperate package on 20 ⁰C - Shake package to equilibrium for 5 minutes - Rest the shaken package for 5 minutes DO x Z Headspace Liquid Oxidation Differentiated TPO method, Analytica-EBC Glass bottles are measured using the differentiated TPO method (HSO + DO) No sample preparation required No different Z-Factors for DO calculations HSO DO Headspace Liquid Oxidation A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 13
NEW CO 2 MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR PACKAGES A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 14
FROM BASIC TECHNOLOGY TOWARDS NEW TECHNOLOGY Invasive Non-invasive Selective Invasive Selective Only Non-invasive? PRESENT FUTURE A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 15
1. CO 2 MEASUREMENT OF PACKAGES, NON-INVASIVE NON-INVASIVE CO 2 is the next step in selective CO 2 Measurement of Packaged beer (bottles only) CO 2 Package remains unopened. Equilibrium pressure, Total pressure and Temperature are measured without contacting the bottle. Product A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 16
PRINCIPLE OF NON-INVASIVE CO 2 MEASUREMENT CO 2 MEASURING PRINCIPLE based on laser technology The CO 2 Selector is using a laser that beams trough the headspace of a bottle. CO 2 Product The CO 2 molecules in the headspace absorb the infrared light send through the bottle. The result of the measurement is based on the width of the absorption lines (related to the total pressure) and its intensity (related to the concentration of the CO 2 ). A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 17
2. CO 2 MEASUREMENT SELECTIVE INVASIVE, IR-Method Head space gas analysis The gas flows through a small chamber with an IR LED, IR Optical Band Filters and IR Receiver One filter for IR light that will be absorbed by CO 2 Molecules One filter for IR light that will not be absorbed by CO 2 Molecules, reference filter Measuring the CO 2 fraction of the head space gas in % from 0 to 100% CO 2 fraction is needed to calculate correct CO 2 values, when using other (foreign) gasses then CO 2 in the process. GAS IN GAS OUT IR BAND FILTER IR LED IR RECEIVER A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 18
HOW DO ALL THESE CO 2 METHODS HELP US? New CO 2 technology methods have different advantages Reduction of sample preparation Faster results Simple handling There is a choice for every product/application Challenges Comparability of CO 2 measurement/methods Calibration of special detectors (IR and others) against master Need for standardization A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 20
HAFFMANS CO 2 -SELECTOR, New Concept in Quality Control Equipment, Laboratory
EQUIPMENT WITH NON-INVASIVE CO 2 TECHNOLOGY HAFFMANS CO 2 -SELECTOR A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 22
APPLICATION IN CARBONATED DRINKS Keg Filling Bottles Glass/PET Filling Buffer tank Beverage A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 23
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CO 2 - SELECTOR PRODUCT POSITIONING Non-invasive CO 2 measurement in filled glass and PET bottles. No piercing is required no product is lost. MARKETS: Carbonated beverage manufactures Brewing, Soft drink industry Water industry Wineries A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 24
WHY CO2 SELECTOR? Non-invasive inspection using laser technology No contact with the measured medium Less packages required for analysis, including determination of effects of aging on CO 2 content during shelf life Selective & non-selective CO 2 measurement, temperature compensated One instrument for a wide range of carbonated beverages up to 13 g/l Market specific CO 2 formulas available One instrument for all carbonated beverages Fast (1 minute), repeatable measurement Savings on time and labor No moving parts No requirements for spare parts & consumables A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 25
HAFFMANS AUTOMATOR New Concept in Quality Control Equipment
AUTOMATION OF MEASUREMENT, THE AUTOMATOR! NEW PLATFORM FOR MEASURING THE PACKAGED PRODUCT Fully Automated, release the operator to be able to manage the filling operation or other tasks No sample preparation required at bottles, directly from the filling line (no shaking, no tempering of the packaged product) INCREASES INSIGHT Multiple parameter analysis per package Total Package Oxygen content Headspace Oxygen content Dissolved Oxygen content Dissolved CO 2 content A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 27
APPLICATION IN THE BREWERY Keg Filling Blending Bottle/Can Filling Bright Beer Tank Beer filter Storage/Fermentation tank A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 28
WHY THE AUTOMATOR? Fully automatic No sample preparation Twin-Sampler Headspace O 2 Dissolved O 2 Multiple parameter analysis per package Solving filler problems Reduced operating time! Reduced operating costs! Maximum and consistent insight in product quality per single package Sample Changer Automatic Rotation 12 positions A New Concept for Monitoring the Quality of Filled Packages 30
