A bottom-outlet valve with combined sensor is a new process analytical technology tool.
A challenge for process analytical technology is finding suitable entry points in reactors to analyze reactions in real time. SensoTech and valve manufacturer SchuF developed MultiProbe, a bottom outlet valve combined with SensoTech’s LiquiSonic sensor, to enable process analysis even in low-volume batches without additional process adapters. LiquiSonic systems consist of one or more sensors and a controller that records measurements and transfers them to the process control system. The system provides precise data about concentration and density in liquids, detects phase transitions, and monitors reactions.
