Vaisala
Vaisala design and supply specialized in-line liquid analyzers and process refractometers for Paper & Pulp evaporators, Sugar Vacuum Pan & Evaporator Processing, industrial process instrumentation and control. Previously known as K-Patents. K-Patents is part of Vaisala’s Industrial Measurements Business Area.
Vaisala, a global leader in weather, environmental, and industrial measurements, has finalized the merger of the K-Patents Group, a pioneer in in-line liquid measurements for industrial applications. Following the completion of the acquisition, K-Patents Oy and Janesko Oy, K-Patents’ research and development organization, have ceased to exist and operations have moved to Vaisala.
Liquid Measurements
Vaisala K-PATENTS® provides process refractometers for accurate in-line refractive index measurements to improve oil and gas refinery operations such as interface detection at gathering and transportation operations, sulfuric acid alkylation, amine gas treating, gas dehydration and lube oil production.
