Bath monitoring

Continuous real-time monitoring

The measured values are recorded inline, continuously updated, and available online. The sensor is installed directly in the pipeline from DN 6 or directly in the bath. As an alternative to inline measurement technology, the LiquiSonic® Lab system offers the possibility to perform fast and precise measurements at a central quality measurement station.

Advantages of bath monitoring

  • Process documentation as indirect proof of compliance with quality-relevant parameters such as "bath concentration" and "bath temperature"
  • Optimal bath maintenance by specifically replenishing cleaners, solvents, or other process liquids to compensate for losses due to carryover and evaporation
  • the efficient control of bath changes through inline monitoring of bath contamination levels

Applications of LiquiSonic®

Typical application areas are

  • Cleaning, degreasing, and rinsing baths,
  • Corrosion protection, preservation, and coating baths,
  • Quenching baths,
  • Pickling and etching baths,
  • Treatment baths.

The LiquiSonic® Sensors measure precisely, continuously, and directly in the process the concentration of, for example,

  • Cleaners and solvents,
  • Corrosion protection and preservatives,
  • Polymers, liquid metals, and pigments,
  • Acids and alkalis,
  • Oil emulsions.

LiquiSonic® Lab System – fast, mobile, precise

The measuring system LiquiSonic specially developed by SensoTech® Lab is ideally suited for monitoring processes in smaller plants where inline measurement is not feasible. Especially with smaller volumes, inline measurement is often impractical and associated with modifications. Therefore, in such cases, a central quality measurement station is suitable.

For this, LiquiSonic® Lab is the solution:

  • fast, precise measurements
  • no installation necessary
  • mobile measuring system
  • further advantages

The use of cleaning and treatment baths extends across many industrial sectors and processes. Among other things, single and multi-chamber as well as continuous systems are used to remove film and particulate contaminants or to apply anti-corrosion coatings.

Technologically, these processes are implemented in single baths or bath cascades. The following graphic shows an example of the use of LiquiSonic® at relevant measuring points of a degreasing cascade.

LiquiSonic® Measuring and analysis systems enable continuous real-time monitoring of bath parameters such as concentration, temperature, and contamination level in all common industrial surface treatment and cleaning processes.
