How to measure Moisture Content in Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) during manufacture?

Moisture Analyser / By

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in various applications, including portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid energy storage. One of the critical parameters that affect the performance and safety of LIBs is the moisture content. Excessive moisture can lead to corrosion of the electrodes, degradation of the electrolyte, and other adverse effects on the battery’s […]

Beer blending and Wort cooking using in line analysers

Beer and Brewing, Process Refractometers / By

High Gravity beer blending Brewers need a blending system to cut or dilute high gravity beer because by brewing at higher than sales strength and adding water at a later stage, the actual volume of beer being processed is reduced. Considerable energy savings can be achieved by boiling the wort and chilling the beer, and

Sustainability benefits of changing to a 12 month CO2 polishing system

Beverage and Brewing / By

CO2 Polishing filters CO2 is a very common gas in the carbonated beverage market. As the CO2 is regarded as an ingredient once it enters the beverage there are guidelines for the CO2 purity when used in this way. Guidelines on acceptable contaminant levels are released by the international society for beverage technology (ISBT).  Gas
