Application
The heart of the ethanol plant is the fermentation process. This is where the sugars in the mash are converted into alcohol, which, in the subsequent distillation process, is then concentrated to a strength of 99.9 %. The CO2 gas given off by the fermentation is captured and used for carbonation in the beverage industry. To keep the fermenter vessel operating in its optimal range, reliable monitoring of the process parameters including the vessel level and overall pressure is required.
