Fermentation and distillation are operations that require continuous monitoring. Both require precise temperature control, the first to cool the fermentation medium and the second to prevent excessive energy use. Likewise, it is also necessary to monitor variables such as density and alcohol content, in an efficient and accurate way. Emerson offers solutions to maximize production in the fermentation and distillation stages, while minimizing variability in control and improving overall efficiency.
The larger and more complex a production, the more necessary it becomes to have a greater visibility of the inventory, improve tank capacity utilization and manage terminal traffic safely and efficiently. Emerson provides technologies to track alcohol inventory, establish greater visibility to what’s happening in and between tanks and improve terminal logistics, all while minimizing manual operator adjustments or errors.
Distillation byproducts are to be stored and measured accurately, since they can yield value-added products that are used as a feedstuff for livestock. Emerson can help to ensure accurate level, and movement and overfill prevention for byproducts inventory control.
With more product varieties than ever, ineffective blending and cleaning procedures can cause to spend too much downtime switching between products. In addition, it is necessary that blending operations are to be consistent and accurate so that each product meets its quality specifications. Whether before cask filling or prior to bottling, Emerson offers in-line blending solutions and smart devices to minimize waste and ensure accurate blending while shortening cycle times.
Wasted product due to inefficient cask filling or leaks due to improperly sealed casks can negatively impact throughput and increase production costs. Emerson offers innovative solutions to fill and empty casks with precision, faster, saving time and reducing maintenance. Minimize product spoilage and maximize product quality by identifying sources of product loss more effectively with Emerson’s Rosemount CT4215 Packaging Leak Detector.
Emerson offers In-Line Alcohol Concentration measurement solutions to meet quality and regulatory compliance. The information can easily be integrated into a PLC and made available to an ERP to meet fiscal transfer.
Clean-in-Place (CIP) processes ensure that process equipment and pipework is clean/sterile, ready for the next batch to be run. But with more product varieties than ever, CIP processes are running with greater frequency making it difficult to minimize waste and reduce utility costs. Emerson’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions for CIP processes includes technologies to ensure cleaning efficacy while ensuring the health and safety of consumers.
