Cloud Point Process Analyser
|
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Cloud Point Process Analyser (CPA) by BARTEC BENKE is an analyser for the fully automatic determination of the cloud point of liquid, transparent mineral oil products. The CPA operates on-line and it serves to monitor/maintain product quality for the in-spec production of mixtures such as diesel fuel and heating oil.
The product sample is cooled under defined conditions and its turbidity is observed. The temperature at which a cloud of paraffin crystals first appears, is known as the CP. The low temperature behaviour of liquid mineral oil products is very important for their usage as it affects their ability to be pumped, transported and filtered.
The complete analysis procedure is controlled, monitored and visualized by the PACS (Process Analyser Control System) software. It offers a user interface for local analyser operation.
