Vaisala Polaris™ Refractometers: Enhancing Process Efficiency and Product Quality

Vaisala Polaris™ Refractometers: Enhancing Process Efficiency and Product Quality

Industrial refractometers are pivotal in process automation, bolstering product uniformity, amplifying productivity, and curbing wastage. These tools determine a substance's refractive index, calculating the extent of light bending as it traverses a sample. This information furnishes critical data regarding a solution's composition and concentration, serving as a linchpin in several industrial operations.

These refractometers prove particularly beneficial in the food and beverage sector, enabling precise quantification of sugar content in various products such as juices and jams. They foster product consistency by ensuring uniformity in flavor and texture while fulfilling regulatory standards. Similarly, in pharmaceutical manufacturing, refractometers determine the concentration of active ingredients in medicines, which is crucial for their efficacy and safety. The pulp and paper industry and semiconductor manufacturing also leverage these devices to assess the concentration of dissolved solids at multiple production stages. Moreover, these instruments gauge the concentration of dissolved solids like salts and acids in chemical production, bolstering the production process's effectiveness.

Automating the refractive index measurement through industrial refractometers eliminates manual testing's need, cutting down on errors and augmenting process efficiency. It also helps reduce labor costs linked to manual testing. These automated refractometers can be integrated into broader process control systems, facilitating continuous monitoring and control of essential process parameters.

Vaisala, a frontrunner in creating and manufacturing environmental and industrial measurement systems, has introduced its new product, Vaisala Polaris™. This innovative product line enhances manufacturing processes, improving productivity, conserving resources and energy, and saving time across diverse industries and countless applications.

Vaisala Polaris™ leverages an optical measurement principle that coupled with the absence of moving parts, negates the need for regular maintenance. This feature positions the product as an efficient, reliable solution for businesses necessitating consistent measurement readings. The product easily synchronizes with Vaisala's Indigo520 transmitters right out of the box, ensuring a smooth setup process. Vaisala has also curated a library of over 500 concentration models to enable exact measurements of diverse dissolved solids, meeting clients' requirements.

With no risk of drift due to particles, bubbles, or color influencing the readings, Vaisala Polaris™ guarantees unmatched precision. Its long-term stability and absence of moving parts promise several years of consistent, accurate measurements. Moreover, Vaisala offers an Engineer to Order service for more extensive needs, enabling product customization to suit the specific requirements of their clients.

In summary, industrial refractometers are:
  • Indispensable tools in process automation.
  • Boosting product quality and uniformity.
  • Enhancing efficiency.
  • Minimizing waste and costs.
As automation technology progresses, these monitoring instruments' significance is poised to escalate in industrial environments. With its superior performance, Vaisala Polaris™ is a state-of-the-art technology ideally suited for your application.

Brooks Instrument GP200 Pressure-based Mass Flow Controllers (MFC): Theory of Operation


Brooks Instrument presents the theory of operation behind their pressure-based mass flow controller (P-MFC) from their GP200 series in this video. This P-MFC has a unique design approach for enhanced process performance without the limitations of today's traditional P-MFCs. A traditional P-MFC system includes:
  • An upstream pressure transducer.
  • An upstream control valve.
  • Two individual pressure transducers.
  • Laminar flow element.
The use of an upstream valve has many disadvantages. This design requires high pressure making it sub-optimal for critical low-pressure gases and low full-scale flow rate. It also means matching the two individual pressure transducers perfectly. 

Brooks Instrument designed a patented integrated differential pressure transducer, GP200 P-MFC, to address the disadvantages. The GP200 has one actual differential transducer instead of two, eliminating the need to match the two individual pressure transducers, significantly reducing measurement uncertainty, and improving accuracy, particularly for critical low vapor pressure process gases. Its downstream valve architecture will operate at much lower inlet pressures and across a broader range of pressures. The downstream valve also minimizes the bleed-down effect and ensures that the device is insensitive to dynamic outlet conditions.

The GP200 Series P-MFC features a patented architecture that overcomes the limitations of conventional P-MFCs to provide the most precise process gas delivery even when delivering low vapor pressure process gases. It includes several unique design aspects, including an integrated differential pressure sensor coupled with a downstream valve architecture enabling the most precise process gas delivery over the industry's broadest range of operating conditions.

Since GP200 Series supports a broad range of process conditions, it can be used as a drop-in replacement and upgrade for many traditional P-MFCs and thermal MFCs. It reduces the complexity and cost of ownership of the gas delivery system because it eliminates the need for components such as pressure regulators and transducers.

GP200 FEATURES

  • True differential pressure measurement
  • Lower inlet pressure operation
  • Downstream valve architecture
  • Matched transient response
  • Zero Leak-by Control Valve
  • MultiFlo™ technology offers unparalleled flexibility—one device can be programmed for thousands of different gas and flow range configurations without removing the MFC from the gas line or compromising accuracy
  • Local display indicates flow, temperature, pressure and network address
  • DeviceNet™, EtherCAT®, RS-485 L-Protocol and analog interfaces

GP200 BENEFITS

  • By removing the requirement to match and compensate two separate pressure transducers, the GP200 differential pressure technology reduces measurement uncertainty for enhanced accuracy, repeatability and drift performance.
  • Safer fab operation at lower inlet pressures is now achievable with a P-MFC due to the GP200 differential pressure sensor that is specifically optimized for low differential pressure measurement.
  • The downstream valve architecture ensures accuracy is independent of downstream pressure, enabling flow delivery into pressures as high as 1200 Torr. The fast closing valve addresses non-productive recipe wait times, or "tail effects," seen in upstream MFC valve designs that require additional time to bleed down their internal volume of gas.
  • Ultra-fast, highly repeatable ascending and descending flow stabilization time enables tighter process control in advanced high cycle Deposition and Etch processes.
  • 100X improvement in valve shut-down
  • With MultiFlo™, MFC full scale flow range can be re-scaled down typically by a factor of 3:1 with no impact on accuracy, turndown or leak by specifications, for optimum process and inventory flexibility 
  • Convenient user display and independent diagnostic/service port aids device installation, monitoring and troubleshooting
