Applications

Lab Quality Control

The right lab instrumentation strengthens confidence in beverage quality while maintaining cost efficiency. Designed for routine QC, compliance, and method consistency, these tools help monitor key parameters like wet chemistry, disinfectants, and nutrients supporting reliable workflows and regulatory reporting.

Product Solutions

DR6000 | DR3900 | QBD1200+

Relevant Parameters in Quality Control Lab Applications:

Total Acidity
Sodium
Color
Calcium
Chloride
Turbidity
pH

Water Chemistry and Process Stability

Maintain stable production conditions and quickly identify deviations before they impact product quality or efficiency. Consistent monitoring at key stages like incoming raw water and process monitoring helps ensure process control, reduce variability, and support smooth operations across your plant.

Product Solutions

Relevant parameters: pH, conductivity, temperature, electrochemistry

Disinfection & Oxidation Control (Product Safety & Clean-In-Place Effectiveness)

Maintain consistent disinfection across raw water, process water, and sanitation workflows with reliable monitoring for chlorine, ozone, and other oxidation parameters.

Product Solutions:

CL17sc | ULR CL17sc | 9185 Ozone Analyzer

Relevant Parameters: Chlorine · Ozone, pH, TSS

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:

Colour, Turbidity & Optical Quality

In beverage production, water quality directly shapes product appearance and consumer perception. From raw water screening to filtration, monitoring key parameters like colour and turbidity helps ensure clarity, consistency, and visual appeal across every batch. With the right analytical approach, you can safeguard product quality while maintaining confidence in your process.

Product Solutions

EZ Series | dr1900 | TL2300 | 2100Q | TU5300

Application focus: Raw water screening, filtration, product appearance Key parameters: Colour, turbidity, optical indicators

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 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:

Chlorine
Conductivity/Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
pH/ORP
Turbidity
Dissolved Oxygen Carbon (DOC)
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Coagulation Control
Alkalinity

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

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
