Suresense+ Foam Control System

SureSense+ allows for accurate control of aqueous foam by sensing and differentiating between foam and liquid contact. Utilising one of a selection of control algorithms, the controller can activate a dosing pump to either keep the foam at a fixed level or to reduce the foam height as required. It offers both proportional and delay-and-shot algorithms for anti-foam dosing when controlling a pump or valve, and is pre-programmed with a number of useful factory application settings/recipes to aid set-up.

Hycontrol’s unique IMA sensing® technology ensures the system will operate correctly even if the attached sensors become severely fouled. The controller is pre-programmed with a number of useful factory application settings/recipes to aid set-up, and offers both proportional and delay-and-shot algorithms for antifoam dosing when controlling a pump or valve. To discriminate between foam and splashing or other spurious triggers, the controller has an adjustable response time. Although the controller can be used for stand-alone control, other control actions such as vacuum valves or gas control can be interfaced. Thresholds for both foam and liquid level can be adjusted for very light foams. ATEX barriers for hazardous areas are also available.

It is important to remember that, unlike other equipment that may be specified for foam applications, Hycontrol foam probes are NOT modified level sensors, and have been custom-designed for this purpose. This distinction is important when one considers the unreliability of traditional level technologies in detecting light, airy foams.
