Selecting an Inferential AnalyzerThe Model CP20 can often be used with great benefits in applications historically reserved for other inferential process analyzer technologies such as conductivity meters, densitometers, or refractometers. A conductivity meter is used inferentially when a conductivity of 126 mS is observed for a liquid known to consist of common salt, and is at a temperature of 20 ¡Æ C and therefore a salt concentration of 10 percent by weight is inferred because 126 mS is the published value for 10 Wt. % common salt. Similarly, we have NuSonics Div. has a database of values of sound velocity for hundreds of chemicals and liquids which is used to calibrate the CP20 to provide the analysis value.
Inferential analyzers work best either in binary liquids or in liquids in which only one ingredient is changing.

Sensor Mounting and Materials
|
An assortment of sensors are available for use with the CP20. These include tri-clover or flange mount insertion sensors, inline spool pieces or filler flange wafer sensors, and low volume small line flow through sensors. These sensors are available in a variety of materials including 316 or 304L stainless steel, Hastelloy B, C, Alloy 20, PVDF (Kynar), and polypropylene. Certain sensors are suitable for CIP or no-metal-contact processes. Options are available for sensors operational to 350 ¡Æ C (660 ¡Æ F), 2000 PSIG, and the harshest of chemical environments. The Model CP20 is preferably attached directly to the sensor, but may be separated from the sensor by use of interconnecting cables installed in conduit. In most cases, the CP20 can be used with existing NuSonics sensors. | ¡¡

What's New in the Model CP20The Model CP20 takes advantage of the recent development of low cost, high speed digital signal processors. Previous versions of Sonic Liquid Analyzers transmitted a single pulse of sound, and a timing circuit measured its transit time. The frequency of the transmitted sound was determined by the physical dimensions of the transmitting acoustic crystal. The model CP20 uses a novel continuous pulse approach. The transmitting crystal is excited by a sine wave signal, and the received sine wave is digitized. The excitation sine wave frequency can be easily varied. Continuous excitation of the crystal results in higher decibel levels transmitted. By automatically varying the frequency, chemicals or liquids which absorb sound at some specific frequency or processes can now be successfully measured.
The Model CP20 also takes advantage of the common availability of laptop and personal computers. These devices can function as a high quality user-friendly interface utilizing a powerful factory provided software package. The software contains easy to use procedures for checking the calibration and printing reports to meet the documentation needs of many certification programs. The Model CP20 also incorporates an 8000 point data logger. The software allows many forms of manipulating this data, from graphing it to using it for calibration adjustment or new application setup. |

Sonic Concentration Analyzers determine liquid concentration, density, % solids, weight %, volume %, ¡ÆBrix and others by measuring sound velocity. The sound velocity of any liquid or mixture is a repeatable and measurable physical property. The relationship between sound velocity, liquid composition and temperature is different for every liquid. Once the relationship between sound velocity and the desired variable is known, sound velocity can be used to accurately monitor changes in liquid composition. The results of this measurement are often the only means to obtain real time high accuracy concentration or density output. The precision of our concentration analyzers make them an excellent choice for process and laboratory measurement. |
InstrumentMeasurement of sulfuric acid concentration using the Sonic Concentration Monitor.
IndustriesFertilizers, chemical manufacture, petroleum refining, rayon, sulfuric acid manufacture.
IntroductionThe conversion of sulfur dioxide gas to sulfuric acid has increased in recent years due to the enforcement of stringent anti-pollution laws. The supply increase has resulted in a profit squeeze, meaning that producers of sulfuric acid must incorporate all possible cost reduction techniques into the manufacturing process. The Sonic Concentration Monitor, which uses the velocity of sound as the measured parameter, aids in highly accurate automated manufacturing, greatly reducing production costs by keeping operating points at their optimum values. Savings are illustrated under the heading PAYBACK.
Test Conditions Sulfuric acid is produced chiefly in concentrations of 93% to 98%. Consequently, reagent grade sulfuric acid in concentrations from 77% to 100% by weight have been tested for sound velocity at temperatures between 20¡Æ C and 60¡Æ C and at ambient pressure.
ResultsFigure 1 shows the average intrinsic error of analysis when using the Sonic Concentration Monitor. The error is below ¡¾0.1% acid for concentrations above 80% and below ¡¾0.02% for concentrations above 90%. Figure 2 gives the sound velocity vs. concentration curves at 10¡Æ C intervals. Note that the curves are the same shape with the slope increasing with concentration. Figure 3 is a graph of the temperature coefficient as a function of concentration. The coefficient and reference process temperature are entered as a polynomial into NuSonics' Models 86 or 88 process monitor in order to temperature-correct the concentration reading when the process temperature departs from the reference point.
DiscussionThe intrinsic error of any instrument used to measure concentration is inversely proportional to the slope of the measured variable vs. concentration. The density curve flattens out above 95%, and the conductivity curve flattens below 94%. Consequently the errors of analysis of densitometers and conductivity sensors are large in these respective regions and it is in these regions that the Sonic Concentration Monitor offers greatest benefit. Figure 2 clearly illustrates that the sound velocity curve has a steep slope throughout the range of concentrations provided by industry, resulting in the remarkable accuracies displayed in Figure 1. The Sonic Concentration Monitor is also more accurate than refractometers and not subject to fouling.
Payback As an illustration of cost savings due to accurate analysis, consider a plant which substitutes a NuSonics' monitor for another type sensor, thereby (conservatively) improving analysis by 0.4%. On a daily basis a plant producing 770 tons per day at $28 per ton would save:
0.4% x 770 tons / day x $80 / ton = $246 day At this rate, the plant could easily afford to pay for a monitor within a few months. The increase in profits in subsequent years is obvious dependability mean higher profitability in any plant where the concentration.
ConclusionThe Sonic Concentration Monitor is the most accurate real time output instrument in the 80% to 100% sulfuric acid range. It is the only instrument that can be used over the entire range of commercial concentration with remarkable accuracy. In addition, the Sonic Concentration Monitor has no moving parts and its accuracy is not degraded by fouling as are densitometers, conductivity sensors, and refractometers. Its accuracy and dependability mean higher profitability in any plant where the concentration of H2SO4 must be carefully measured and/or controlled.
