Berthold is expert in monitoring critical processes. As technology leader of radiometric measurements we bring benefit to the pulp and paper industry by providing highly accurate and reliable online measurements – the base for a cost-efficient and high-quality production.

Applications are wide ranging from the radiometric level measurement on a pulp digester, over the concentration measurement of green or black liquor, up to the mass flow measurement of recycling paper on conveyor belts. Using microwave transmission technology we provide real-time measurements of the moisture content of wood chips – even pulp consistency measurements are possible.

These advantages are used to make critical applications more reliable:

• Non-contacting: outside mounting of components

• Reliable under extreme conditions

• Wear and maintenance-free

• Easy installation on existing pipes and vessels via clamp-on solutions

• Smooth handling and operation

• No re-calibration required

• Outstanding long-term stability

• Virtually no operational expense

 The processes in which Berthold instruments are used include:

·      Level and high-level switch in the pulp digester

·      Pulp stock level in the MC pump standpipe

·      Mass flow of recycled paper

·      Blockage detection in the pulper

·      Mass flow of wood chips or bark

·      Density of green or liquor

·      Density of lime mud

·      Moisture of wood chips

·      Ash content in the pulp

The effects of interference radiation on radiometric measurements can be considerable and must therefore be controlled. As it is neither predictable when interference radiation will be present, nor how much the impact of a distant NDT testing on a nucleonic measurement is, customers need a reliable system that is automatically dealing with such events. Over time, the technology and philosophy for dealing with interference radiation has evolved and become more sophisticated.

Berthold offers sophisticated products that manage interference radiation and provide the customer with a stable and reliable measurement that ensures a continuous process, avoids unscheduled shutdowns and therefore generate a real benefit for the customer. The features XIP (X-Ray Interference Protection) or RID (Radiation Interference Discrimination) are used for this. We help plant operators to get “RID” of problems caused by interference radiation and in doing so, we make sure they are always in control.
