Oxygen Measurement Technologies in the Brewing Industry
As all major oxygen analyser suppliers
have released an improved version of their
existing products or launched a new
product based on optical technology over
the past 2 years, we thought it would be
an appropriate time to review the existing
technologies from a critical and objective
viewpoint. Based on the oxygen
measurement experience amassed
by ORBISPHERE over 40 years in the
brewing industry, and in both
amperometric and optical technologies,
we have evaluated the advantages and
drawbacks of the most common oxygen
sensors from the point of view of brewer?s
needs. Critical aspects such as response
time, long-term stability, and process
condition effects are discussed as well as
the benefits of the latest development on
the oxygen optical sensors.
