Innovative Pneumatic Float Valve Design Allows Precise Level Control, Lower Operating Costs

July 22, 2022
Level control in alcohol distilling and fermenting processes offers a unique set of challenges. Learn how an innovative Pneumatic Float Valve design solves these issues, while also lowering the cost of operation.

A typical alcohol distillation and fermentation plant may operate between 60-100 fermentation tanks, each requiring level sensing technology to ensure the process is properly carried out. This scenario presents unique challenges in level sensing: Alcohol is flammable, so safety is an issue; high pressures can be involved in these processes; we must comply with beverage industry sanitary guidelines. Our Problem/Solution white paper covers how these issues were solved for alcoholic beverage production, and how these same solutions are effective for applications across many other industries.
