Applications


Dissolved Gases/Oxygen

Dissolved Gases/Oxygen

Neglect of proper oxygen levels can cause noticeable changes in taste and clarity of the final product. When poorly controlled, a beverage’s taste, color, and shelf life can be substantially affected.

Care must be taken throughout the process to minimize oxygen pickup from the air. The last, and perhaps the most critical step, is the elimination of oxygen in the packaging operation.

Parameters Relevant to Dissolved Gases/Oxygen Processes:

  • Carbon Dioxide: As an additive, pressurizing agent, aerating agent, or preservative
  • Nitrogen: As an aerating or pressurizing agent, or preservative
  • Oxygen: As an oxidizing agent
  • Ozone: As a cleansing agent

Incoming/Raw Water

Incoming/Raw Water

Incoming water quality directly impacts product quality. The consistency and purity of your influent or raw water greatly affects the taste and quality of your final product.

Proper treatment and conditioning is essential for water as it enters any production process. The water used in production lines of food facilities must not only meet FDA drinking water regulations, it must be treated to remove additional minerals and chemicals which could impact taste and production processes. Optimizing boiler feed water and cooling tower feed minimizes chemical usage, prevents corrosion, and protects plant equipment.

Parameters Relevant to Influent/Raw Water Processes:


Production Control

Production Control

Beverage companies are eager to identify issues with production processes and product quality before customers do, and at Hach, we know you are no exception. Make a positive start by determining and monitoring critical control points in beverage production, while building confidence in flavor stability and shelf life.

Parameters Relevant to Production Control Processes:

  • Color
  • Oxygen
  • Ozone

Quality Control Lab

Quality Control Lab

Having the right lab instrumentation can greatly increase confidence in your beverage product’s overall quality.

Maintain quality standards while also preserving cost efficiencies. Well-designed lab tools that trace, measure, and report product quality are key to comprehensive analytical checks. Equip your lab with the right tools for the best possible beverage outcomes.

Relevant Parameters in Quality Control Lab Applications:

  • Total Acidity
  • Sodium
  • Color
  • Calcium
  • Chloride
  • Turbidity
  • pH

Clean-In-Place (CIP)

Clean-In-Place (CIP)

CIP is commonly used in hygiene critical industries to clean a wide range of areas in the plant. CIP refers to the use of a mix of chemicals, heat, and water to clean machinery, vessels, or pipe work without dismantling plant items.

CIP ensures the cleanliness of production surfaces. Beverage manufacturers design and qualify CIP procedures to ensure no microbial growth will contaminate products.

Parameters Relevant to CIP Applications:

  • Inductive Conductivity
  • Chlorine
  • pH
  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
  • Plus many more...

Wastewater

Wastewater

As one of the most resource intensive processes in your plant, we understand that minimizing environmental impact and ensuring compliance are key.

From nutrient removal to sludge treatment to sampling, proper monitoring and treatment of your wastewater ensures energy and chemical savings and compliance.

Parameters Relevant to Wastewater Applications:

  • Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
  • Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
  • pH
  • Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
  • Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
  • (Total) Nitrogen
  • (Total) Phosphorus
  • Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
  • Organics
  • Sampling
