Vaisala Polaris™ PR53SD Process Refractometer

Pulp industry process optimization, black liquor, green liquor, brown stock washing, and other liquid concentrations in fiber and chemical recovery lines 

The Vaisala Polaris PR53SD Process Refractometer model is for the toughest process conditions in the pulp industry, measuring black liquor, green liquor, brown stock washing and other liquid concentrations in the fiber and chemical recovery lines. 

Stable and reliable measurement is in our core, and the process refractometer is retractable for service without process shutdown, minimizing downtime in the measurement. Therefore, the PR53SD instrument is for the critical and safety measurements in pulp mills. 

The modern, brand-new design on the SAFE-DRIVE retractor system enhances safety by integrating the process refractometer and the retractor as one, simple system. This prevents inadvertent errors in use and ensures that the isolation valve is closed before the instrument is removed. The system is easy to operate, consisting of only a few steps to insert or remove the process refractometer from pressurized process line with full operation ongoing. 

Unique in the world, Vaisala offers a retractable refractometer with a wash nozzle for green liquor. Same, accurate measurements inline also with high solids concentrations up to 85 % in black liquor.
