Optimizing Soap Manufacturing with Bionetics’ Rheotherm Flow Meters
In this video, learn how Bionetics’ Rheotherm flow meters help
soap manufacturers accurately monitor the flow of dyes, salts, and chemical additives used in liquid and specialty soap production. These inline flow meters are engineered to deliver precise measurement across varying flow ranges while maintaining a low pressure drop.
Featuring Hastelloy C-276 wetted surfaces, Rheotherm flow meters offer excellent chemical compatibility and long-term reliability in demanding manufacturing environments. The video also highlights how Rheotherm flow meters and switches support the use of dyes and salts in soaps designed for wildlife cleaning and oil spill response, ensuring consistent quality and process efficiency.
Watch how Rheotherm flow meters enhance accuracy and efficiency in soap manufacturing and chemical additives processes.
Did You Know Bionetics’ Flow Meters Help Sterilize Aseptic Packaging?
Bionetics’ Rheotherm® flow meters provide precise and reliable
hydrogen peroxide flow measurement for aseptic packaging machines used in dairy, beverage, and food processing applications. Designed to accurately measure ultra-low flow rates below 10 cc/min, these inline sensors help ensure consistent sterilization and optimal system performance.
With a non-intrusive design and no moving parts, Rheotherm flow meters minimize maintenance while maintaining sterile conditions during packaging operations. This makes them an ideal solution for packaging machinery manufacturers seeking dependable, low-flow measurement technology for milk and other aseptically packaged products.
Watch how Rheotherm flow meters enhance accuracy and control in aseptic packaging and sterilization processes, improving efficiency and product safety.
“Essential Monitoring for Quickly Identifying & Repairing Air in-leak Sources”
This webinar presents case studies highlighting a new process for repairing air in-leaks which combines leaks identified through a condenser helium leak audit with condenser vent line air in-leakage measurements using a RheoVac® Multi-Sensor Probe (MSP). This approach allows the user to quantify and quickly locate individual air in-leaks to expedite their repair and restore operating performance.
The MSP, which is installed in the vent line between the condenser and exhauster, directly measures and continuously calculates the condenser’s total air in-leakage rate. Data from the MSP allows for narrowing the search areas for potential leaks thereby reducing the overall time and increasing the success in locating and repairing leaks. The readings from the MSP quantifies the impact of each repaired leak. The user can then be certain that the condenser’s total air in-leakage has been reduced to an acceptable level.

“Condenser Retrofits: Upgrading Condensers without Adding Tubes or Changing Tube Materials”
Performance and efficiency of the condenser in power generation can have a significant impact overall plant profitability. A poorly performing condenser can result in higher fuel costs and degraded power output. Recognizing this, many plants undertake projects to upgrade and/or modify the condenser to improve its performance – ranging in cost from hundreds of thousands to over one million dollars.
In this webinar, an alternative approach to upgrading steam surface condensers to improve plant performance is discussed. This approach is much less costly, can usually be completed in a relatively short time, and can result in performance improvements beyond the alternatives.
Watch this webinar to learn a cost-effective, quick, and high-impact approach to upgrading steam surface condensers for improved plant performance.
