Kemtrak Backscatter Probe

The Kemtrak NBP007 Backscatter Probe is a popular instrument that offers a great solution for:

• Concentration measurement
• Interface detection
• Cell and biomass density
• Crystallization control
• Control and optimise CIP cycles
• Product differentiation and identification.

Revolutionising the measurement of high concentration suspended solids, the Kemtrak NBP007 utilises a robust process backscatter probe that is specifically designed to withstand the temperatures and chemicals present in CIP cycles.

The Kemtrak NBP007 overcomes the limitations of traditional turbidity based optical measurement instruments, which stop working at approximately 1% suspended solids due to the extremely high optical density. In contrast, the output of a Kemtrak backscatter probe will continue to increase with sample concentration ensuring a reliable measurement.

For the first time, the operator can also monitor and retain complete control over their process at any concentration. This means any process changes can be quickly implemented that results in substantial cost savings.

Other benefits include:

•  0.001% (10 NTU) - 100% suspended solids
• Real time in-line measurement
• Zero maintenance
• For use with DN25/1” Tri-Clamp probe or
• Ø 12 mm PG 13.5 immersion probe
• Remote zeroing
• Automatic cleaning cycle and signal filtering.

The backscatter photometer is made up of two components:

1. Photometer – this contains all the electronics, including the light source and the detectors.
2. Measurement probe – this is the robust fibre optic backscatter probe.

The robust industrial fibre optic probe with scratch resistant sapphire optics, no electronics and no moving parts is well suited for both ordinary and hazardous area installation and can withstand high temperature process streams or sterilization cycles.  A built-in graphical internet-based interface allows for remote operation, calibration, validation, and data trending using a standard web browser.
