In Sugar Industry, the Brix value is an important factor in extraction processes. Brix is the amount of sucrose contents presents in the raw sugar solution. Degree Brix (symbol °Bx) measures the concentration of dissolved solids in the solution. One-degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. Based on the brix value in solution, the operators can measure and take decisions in sugar industrial process.
The aim of the present paper is suggesting method to measure the brix value in a raw sugar solution using several electronic sensors that have been installed and connected to microcontroller to perform several calculations to calculate brix. This proposed method is a low price with high accuracy in reading Brix in raw sugar solutions in industrial processes.
This method depends on the physical properties of the sugar solution. Electronic sensors can directly measure the mass, and temperature of the solution to express the brix and give the result on the screen. Also, the results can be sent directly to the central control room. Moreover, it can be used manually on the production line and in various food industries.
The suggested method can be applied directly in the industrial process during extracting sugar such as juice and syrup to determine their concentration. Whereupon the efficiency of industrial process is improved.
The proposed method for the first-time sheds light on the possibility to make an electronic hydrometer capable of reading the physical properties of liquid solutions using a group of electronics and judging its efficiency, accuracy, scope of work and the factors affecting the results. |
