INDUCTIVE PARAMETRIC EDDY-CURRENT TRANSDUCER (IPEP) FOR MEASURING ELECTRICAL AND TEMPERATURE PARAMETERS OF WASTEWATER FROM BREWING PRODUCTION

The possibility of using the theory of operation of a differential inductive parametric  eddy-current transducer (IPET) for measuring the electrical and temperature parameters of a sample of acidic and alkaline wastewater is investigated. The need for the development of new informative methods for measuring the physicochemical parameters of wastewater is proved, in the realization of which a promising method of purification is selected. On the basis of a differential scheme for switching on two parametric converters: with exemplary purified water and a converter in which a test tube with a sample of waste water from a brewing production is placed, a differential informative method for measuring the electrical and temperature parameters of the liquid under study is proposed, which is based on the analysis of the components of the difference signal of phase shift angles measured electrical components of the switching circuit signals. The basic relationships that describe the operation of the IPET with the sample of the controlled liquid are given. The scheme of switching on differential IPET with a liquid sample, which is placed in a glass test tube, is considered; the differential scheme provides for heating the sample during measurements to simulate the production conditions of brewing production. Universal transformation functions are given that relate the components of the IPET signals with the specific electrical conductivity χt.s. and the temperature t of the wastewater sample from brewing production, that is, the dependence of the phase difference signal Δj on the generalized parameter A and the dependence of the absolute increment in the specific electrical conductivity Δχ on the temperature t of the wastewater sample, in the investigated temperature range.
