Tata Chemicals is a
well-known company in the field of industrial chemicals and branded agriculture
& consumer products and they have also pioneered nutraceuticals for healthy
and tasty modern food.
They faced a severe problem
of extreme foam formation in their fermenter, containing a mixture of sugar
solution, biomass & culture. T he excess foaming resulted into heavy cost
and reduced efficiency of the process, since large volume of foam occupies
major portion of fermenter and chances of entering the foam in pipe lines and
damage pump, which in turn caused increased down time. In spite of adding up
the anti- foaming agent manually to restrict the foam formation, it led to
intense consumption of expensive anti- foaming agent with low process yield.
They wanted to improve the
process effectiveness to achieve cost savings in the use of anti- foaming
agent. Pune Techtrol supplied Tata Chemicals with
the solution, which was provided through the use of ‘Sure Sense.’ ‘Foam
Detector’, consists of special probe with patented IMA Technology along with a
control unit to automate the process of antifoam addition.
The probe was installed on
the fermenter with adjustable process fittings which would sense the foam
immediately on being formed. It makes the first move and gives signal to the
control unit, which in turn would start/stop a dosing pump to control the flow
of anti- foaming agent to the fermenter.
The concept of ‘Sure Sense’
has been working successfully which has resulted in incredible saving of anti-
foaming agent and process downtime with reduced product wastage and increased
batch size resulting in good quality return of the final product. This design
of foam control is a recent phenomenon that Indian industries have witnessed
and is speeding to catch up with it.
The application of ‘Sure
Sense’ is used for foam control in water treatment plants, cooling towers, and
process plants. An ultra-sensitive modification allows the foam detector to
recognize very fine light foam to thick lathered foam.
