Emerson's New CIP Sensor Uses U.S.P. Class VI PEEK Material



Toroidal Conductivity Sensor Performs Reliable Measurement in a Tough
Environment and Features Certified Materials with Complete Traceability

Irvine, Calif., March 21, 2006 -- To meet the unique requirements of Clean-
In-Place (CIP) liquid analysis for the pharmaceutical industry, Emerson
Process Management has a new toroidal conductivity sensor, the Rosemount
Analytical Model 225-08. The sensor is comprised of a pair of wire-wound
metal toroids overmolded with a special grade of PEEK (polyetheretherketone).
The raw materials have been tested and certified based on U.S.P. Class VI
Biological Reactivity Tests. Complete material traceability for the wetted
materials of this sensor helps streamline the validation process for its use
by pharmaceutical companies. Demonstrations of the Model 225-08 will be
presented at Emerson's Life Science Solutions Exhibit in booth A1837 at
INTERPHEX at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, New York City, March 21-23,
2006.

According to Dave Anderson, pharmaceutical industry manager at the Rosemount
Analytical division of Emerson, "Our CIP toroidal conductivity sensors are
ideal for use in concentrations of acids, alkalis and rinse waters, which are
often used in the pharmaceutical cleaning process, including strengthening
the cleaning solutions, and the cleaning of lines, skids, etc. It is a robust
sensor designed to withstand the rigors of clean-in-place."

"The sensor can be easily integrated into the DeltaV digital automation
system that powers Emerson's PlantWeb® digital plant architecture,"
continued Anderson. "PlantWeb's continuous on-line diagnostics deliver
predictive intelligence that helps simplify validation as well as enable
predictive maintenance."

To ensure effective CIP sanitizing without wasting chemicals, it is critical
to monitor the cleaning solution strength. The Model 225-08 sanitary
conductivity sensor is an ideal choice for this measurement since
conductivity provides a direct correlation to concentration. The sensor
offers a wide conductivity range from 200 µS/cm up to 2 S/cm and incorporates
an integral temperature sensor for temperature compensation.
