Burkert's new system outperforms competitor.Burkert's new 8201 pH system and 8285 transmitter have been chosen by Muller's for the largest dairy in Europe, after 10-months of testing against a major competitor's unit. At the conclusion of the tests only the 8201 pH system was shown to have met the demands of the continuous process; the enamelled stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. finish of its sensor still looking and measuring as though it was still new, Whereas the competitive pH system needed to be cleaned and calibrated cal·i·brate tr.v. cal·i·brat·ed, cal·i·brat·ing, cal·i·brates 1. To check, adjust, or determine by comparison with a standard (the graduations of a quantitative measuring instrument): weekly--and also needed to be replaced during the 10-month testing period, Burkert's 8201 pH system was only calibrated at the beginning of the tests and stayed in-process thereafter. After eight weeks, the customer checked the values of the electrode on the Burkert unit, but it did not require any adjustment. Even more surprising for Muller was the final measurement against the company's reference laboratory pH standard using pH 1.08 hydrochloric acid hydrochloric acid: see hydrogen chloride. hydrochloric acid or muriatic acid Solution in water of hydrogen chloride (HCl), a gaseous inorganic compound. ; here again the 8201 proved itself superior. As a result of the extended trials, Burkert's new 8201 pH system is now being specified in Muller's whey whey liquid residue from milk after the removal of cheese curds in the manufacture of cheese. An excellent protein supplement but difficult to handle in the liquid form, except to pigs maintained close to the cheese factory. Dried whey is easy to handle but processing costs are high. treatment process, where the whey undergoes ultra- and nano-filtration and reverse osmosis reverse osmosis n.

Key to the superior performance of the Burkert 8201 pH system is a 'fit-and-forget' design that enables the measuring sensor to stay in process, even during CIP (1) (Common Isochronous Packet) The packet format used in time-based (real time) FireWire transmission.
