Ready for the Toughest Requirements in the Chemical Industry

Knick is known for its robust, durable products that also withstand harsh environmental and measuring conditions. Co-developed and launched by Knick, contact-free Memosens technology contributes to this reputation. The combination of durable products and digital Memosens technology ideally matches the requirements of the chemical industry.

Broad Range and Demanding Requirements

The chemical industry encompasses an extremely broad range of applications. The ambient conditions can be wet, highly corrosive, and toxic. For this reason, process reliability plays a key role in conjunction with explosion protection and proven measuring technology. Measured values for pH, for example, are often extreme (pH < 1, pH > 13) and go hand in hand with increased temperature and pressure. This places rigorous demands on the sensors. The range of corrosion-resistant special-purpose materials (Hastelloy, titanium, PEEK, and Teflon) is as indispensable as fittings designed specifically for the application.

Outside Europe, measuring technology is often installed outdoors, which requires particularly robust measuring technology with housings made of coated stainless steel or plastics resistant to corrosion, shocks, and UV light, for example.

Is your measuring loop subject to other conditions? No problem! With our product range, we can offer you the optimal solution for almost any measurement task.

Related Applications

pH Measurements in the Dye Synthesis of Azo Dyes

In terms of numbers, azo dyes are the largest group of synthetic dyes. They are used as food dyes, paint dyes, primary colors for 4-color printing (yellow and magenta), and on a massive scale, as textile dyes.

Breakthrough Detection for Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are used when liquid process media need to be cooled and/or dissipated heat needs to be recovered for other processes.

Pulp and Paper Production

Many measuring loops in pulp production are located in environments in which technical personnel must spend as little time as possible.

Water and Wastewater

Complete, easy-to-operate measuring solutions for the treatment of process water and wastewater – from a single source.

Cooling Tower Monitoring

In a wide range of industrial sectors, cooling towers are used to dissipate process heat from cooling circuits. Mineral deposits and corrosion reduce their efficiency and lead to premature wear on plant parts.
