Continuous determination of ethanol at plants making bakery yeast. Part 2.Peer-reviewed article

K. KADLEC, J. SLÁDEČEK, S. SNOPEK, V. STEINER

An analyzer for indirect determination of ethanol in mesh, operating on the principle of catalytic combustion, has passed long/term tests in a bakery yeast plant. It was installed on a mash tun and exposed to normal environment. Long lasting continuous operation had nonnegative effects on its accuracy and sensitivity. Comparison of readings with the results of laboratory  analyses confirm the reliability of the instrument. Since it is accurate, its  readings reproducible and dynamic properties very good, it can be incorporated into various automation systems controlling the manufacturing processes. It is simple and easy to maintain.
