Vaisala Polaris™ PR53SD Process Refractometer Pulp industry process optimization, black liquor, green liquor, brown stock washing, and other liquid concentrations in fiber and chemical recovery lines The Vaisala Polaris PR53SD Process Refractometer model is for the toughest process conditions in the pulp industry, measuring black liquor, green liquor, brown stock washing and other liquid concentrations in the fiber and chemical recovery lines. Contact us Datasheet Stable and reliable measurement is in our core, and the process refractometer is retractable for service without process shutdown, minimizing downtime in the measurement. Therefore, the PR53SD instrument is for the critical and safety measurements in pulp mills. The modern, brand-new design on the SAFE-DRIVE retractor system enhances safety by integrating the process refractometer and the retractor as one, simple system. This prevents inadvertent errors in use and ensures that the isolation valve is closed before the instrument is removed. The system is easy to operate, consisting of only a few steps to insert or remove the process refractometer from pressurized process line with full operation ongoing. Unique in the world, Vaisala offers a retractable refractometer with a wash nozzle for green liquor. Same, accurate measurements inline also with high solids concentrations up to 85 % in black liquor. Advanced optical image analysis and diagnostics for prism wash Advanced optical image analysis and diagnostics help users to quickly analyze wash performance. Get full data from the latest wash, along with comparable visual information, and adjust wash parameters accordingly. Fast and easy. Key benefits Critical and safety measurements in pulp mills The process refractometer design is in compliance with the BLRBAC Recommended Good Practice Safe Firing of Black Liquor in Black Liquor Recovery Boilers. Measure in all process conditions Product measures reliably in various process conditions, including high heat, sticky process, rapidly changing process condition and with particles or fibers in the process. New, safe and simple design for the SAFE-DRIVE retractor Insert and remove from pressurized process line. The SAFE-DRIVE retractor design prevents inadvertent errors in use. Total dissolved solids, the only true measurement of organics and inorganics Weak liquor and black liquor are a mixture of cooking chemicals and dissolved organic material. The RI measurement responds to all dissolved solids. Bubbles, foam, particles, suspended solids or fibers do not affect measurement. Plug & play to Indigo520 Expand features, including wash control, data storage, graphical interface, analog and digital interface by connecting to Vaisala Indigo520 transmitter. Convenient service with the Plug & play feature with minimized downtime should service be needed.
