The range includes <strong data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"972\">dry solids measurement<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"1002\">total solids measurement<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1028\">conductivity measurement<\/strong> for water, wastewater, energy, food, pharma, chemicals and other demanding industrial processes. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1494\">Valmet is known for process measurements developed for continuous operation in demanding applications. Within conductivity and concentration measurement, Valmet itself highlights that the solutions were previously known under the Kemotron name and are used in industries such as pulp and paper, chemicals, energy, pharma, food and hydrogen. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1756\">For Lisco Analytical\u2019s customers, this means access to robust measurement technologies that can move important process data closer to operations \u2014 instead of relying solely on manual samples, delayed laboratory results or periodic control measurements.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"wzb9oi\" data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1803\">Two measurement areas with significant practical value<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"1926\">The Valmet programme at Lisco Analytical covers two areas that often have a direct impact on process economy and stability:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"2167\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liscotech.dk\/en\/valmet-dry-matter-measurement\/\"><strong data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"1945\">Dry solids measurement<\/strong><\/a> is about knowing the proportion of solid matter in sludge, wastewater or other media. It is central to sludge dewatering, water treatment and processes where variation in solids content affects dosing, energy, transport and operation. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2393\"><strong data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2191\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liscotech.dk\/en\/valmet-conductivity-measurement\/\">Conductivity measurement<\/a><\/strong> is about measuring a material\u2019s ability to conduct electrical current. In practice, it is used to monitor concentration, purity, chemical levels, process fluids and changes in water or product streams. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2556\">What both measurement areas have in common is that the value does not lie only in the measurement itself. The value lies in giving operations data that can be used to control the process more effectively. <\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"r47sb2\" data-start=\"2558\" data-end=\"2607\">Dry solids measurement for sludge and wastewater processes<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2787\">Valmet\u2019s dry solids measurements are particularly relevant for wastewater treatment plants, wastewater processing and industrial processes where sludge or solids-containing media need to be monitored continuously.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2789\" data-end=\"3113\">Lisco Analytical offers Valmet solutions for different measuring ranges, including <strong data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2876\">LS<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2878\" data-end=\"2884\">TS<\/strong> and DS. On Lisco\u2019s own Valmet page, models for dry solids measurement are listed in the ranges <strong data-start=\"2970\" data-end=\"2981\">0\u20130.5%<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2983\" data-end=\"2993\">0\u201325%<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2997\" data-end=\"3008\">15\u201335%,<\/strong> covering different parts of the sludge and wastewater process. <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1er5n71\" data-start=\"3115\" data-end=\"3158\">Valmet LS \u2013 low dry solids concentrations<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3160\" data-end=\"3544\"><strong data-start=\"3160\" data-end=\"3173\">Valmet LS<\/strong> is relevant for low dry solids concentrations, where even small variations can have a major impact on process control. The solution can be connected to the solids treatment process and provide online measurements for rapid analysis. According to Lisco\u2019s product information, the measurement supports continuous sample flow via an integrated centrifugal pump.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3546\" data-end=\"3711\">This makes LS relevant in processes where better control is needed over thin sludge streams, low solids content or early process stages in water and wastewater treatment.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"6m9lhs\" data-start=\"3713\" data-end=\"3748\">Valmet TS \u2013 inline total solids<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3750\" data-end=\"4096\"><strong data-start=\"3750\" data-end=\"3763\">Valmet TS<\/strong> is developed for continuous inline measurement of total solids in municipal and industrial wastewater processes. Valmet describes TS as a solution for precise and maintenance-free solids measurement that can help optimise sludge treatment, reduce costs and improve efficiency. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4098\" data-end=\"4315\">TS is relevant where operations need continuous measurements directly in the flow. Instead of waiting for manual samples, operators can monitor the process development and respond faster when the dry solids content changes. <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"ip17gk\" data-start=\"4317\" data-end=\"4356\">Valmet DS \u2013 dry solids in dewatered sludge<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4358\" data-end=\"4615\"><strong data-start=\"4358\" data-end=\"4371\">Valmet DS<\/strong> is aimed at measuring dry solids in dewatered sludge. This is typically relevant after dewatering equipment such as centrifuges or screw presses, where the dry solids percentage has a direct impact on the amount of sludge that must be handled, stored or transported. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4617\" data-end=\"4893\">In practice, even minor improvements in dry solids content can have noticeable effects on operating costs. A higher and more stable dry solids percentage can reduce the transport of water, improve control of polymer consumption and make it easier to document performance in the dewatering process. <\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"tkpwiu\" data-start=\"4895\" data-end=\"4949\">Conductivity measurement for demanding process applications<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4951\" data-end=\"5172\">In addition to dry solids measurement, Lisco Analytical also offers Valmet <strong data-start=\"5004\" data-end=\"5033\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liscotech.dk\/en\/valmet-conductivity-measurement\/\">conductivity measurement<\/a><\/strong>. These solutions are used to measure conductivity and concentration in process fluids where precision, stability and robustness are required. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5174\" data-end=\"5516\">Lisco\u2019s own product page describes Valmet\u2019s conductivity sensors as proven technology for demanding industrial process applications. The sensors are manufactured and tested in Finland and are used in measurement and control systems at combined heat and power plants, as well as in the chemical industry, pharma, food industry and energy sector. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5518\" data-end=\"5760\">Valmet\u2019s conductivity instruments measure both high and low conductivity using the <strong data-start=\"5591\" data-end=\"5617\">4-electrode<\/strong> principle, and Valmet highlights the solutions as robust instruments designed for long service life and low maintenance.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1x2vn1e\" data-start=\"5762\" data-end=\"5797\">Where conductivity makes a difference<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5799\" data-end=\"6079\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liscotech.dk\/en\/valmet-conductivity-measurement\/\">Conductivity measurement<\/a> is often used where changes in the composition of a liquid need to be registered quickly and reliably. This may be in connection with concentration control, cleaning processes, chemical dosing, water quality, process monitoring or control of acids, bases and salts. <\/p>\n<h6 data-start=\"6081\" data-end=\"6124\">Typical industries and applications may include:<\/h6>\n<ul data-start=\"6126\" data-end=\"6328\">\n<li data-section-id=\"sa31u7\" data-start=\"6126\" data-end=\"6159\">food and brewery industry<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"10ssj4p\" data-start=\"6160\" data-end=\"6180\">pharma and biotech<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1hgbo1c\" data-start=\"6181\" data-end=\"6200\">chemical industry<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"rthl2t\" data-start=\"6201\" data-end=\"6225\">energy, heat and power<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"fopw1p\" data-start=\"6226\" data-end=\"6244\">water treatment<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"97tm37\" data-start=\"6245\" data-end=\"6263\">sugar industry<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"helnxo\" data-start=\"6264\" data-end=\"6282\">pulp and paper<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"glp017\" data-start=\"6283\" data-end=\"6328\">industrial cleaning and CIP processes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"6330\" data-end=\"6542\">A stable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liscotech.dk\/en\/valmet-conductivity-measurement\/\">conductivity measurement<\/a> can give operations a rapid indication of whether the process is moving outside the desired range.
