Charis

“At last, an intelligent approach to foam management”

Charis Technology was established in 1994 with technology developed by a large international petrochemical company, to design and manufacture foam control systems for use with fermenter systems

The customer base now includes a wide range of industries throughout Europe and other parts of the world.

New for 2004 is a range of solid state level control systems with the ability to accurately detect and control both liquid level and foam simultaneously.

BioProcess Engineering Services Ltd. have worked with Charis Technology in the UK since 1996 as a distributor principally into the Biopharmaceutical market.

The Range



Foam Control

The secret behind its excellent sensitivity is its patented IMA sensing® technology. Intelligent Multi Action Sensing means it can discriminate between the residual deposits of foam that build up on the sensor itself, and the foam being created in the pocess. Effectively, the foam sensor ignores the inevitable fouling while continuing to monitor the foam. No matter ho heavily the sensor is coated, or how dense and sticky the layer, its unique construction enables it to continue measuring foam throughout the process cycle.

Benefits

•  Cuts anti-foam costs

•  Cuts down-time and product loss

•  Cuts waste & pollution

•  Increases vessel capacity

•  Hygienic steam sterilisable sensors

•  IMAS (Intelligent Multi Action Sensing)

•  Intrinsically safe

•  FDA approved materials

 
 

Level Control – Multi-Sense
Back

The Multi-Sense is a new type of level sensor which uses an array of small sensors built into one body. Each sensor acts as a separate micro-sensor which is used to measure the material adjacent to it. This allows very high accuracy and enables a number of separate parameters to be measured at the same time. The micro-sensors also act together in an array to give more information on the material and to detect interfaces between phases in the material, e.g. liquid and foam or different liquids.

Benefits

•  Solid State Design

•  Hygienic construction

•  FDA approved material

•  High Resolution ~ 0.2mm

•  Immune to Fouling

•  Liquid Level Control Function – pump interface

•  Foam Height Control

•  Volume Measurement

•  Automatic Batch Control
