pH is measured in the chlorine dioxide towers of paper mills to control the bleaching reaction conditions and in the extraction stages to control the addition of the caustic used for extraction. While accurate pH measurement is critical in the chlorine dioxide and extraction stages, these applications are among the most challenging in a pulp mill. The high pulp consistency of the process stream and harsh bleaching chemicals degrade the performance of most general-purpose sensors as the sensors can require frequent cleaning, and may not be able to withstand the harsh oxidizing environment. The Rosemount™ RBI pH Sensor is a great choice for the bleaching process in paper mills. Multiple isolation chambers behind the reference junction act as barriers to protect the inner reference from contact with the harsh chemicals, while the high surface area of the reference junction resists plugging and maintains the electrolyte flow needed for a stable pH signal.
The Rosemount 1058 Dual Channel Transmitter provides confident liquid analysis measurement in a wide range of industrial, municipal and commercial applications. It is a 4-wire powered device that provides multi-parameter liquid analysis for digital and analog sensors, including inputs from pH/ORP sensors, ISE, flow, current, conductivity sensors (contacting and toroidal), turbidity sensors and amperometric sensors (dissolved oxygen, chlorine and ozone).
The Rosemount 1056 Transmitter offers single or dual sensor input with an unrestricted choice of dual measurements, reducing the cost per loop and saving panel space. This multi-parameter liquid analysis transmitter offers a wide range of measurement choices, including differential conductivity, dual oxygen and many other combinations supporting most industrial, commercial and municipal applications. The modular design of the transmitter allows signal input boards to be field replaced making configuration changes easy.
