Hydrochloric Acid Concentration Control Using Inline Process Refractometers
Measuring the Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid (sometimes referred to as Concentration Density of Hydrochloric Acid) is a critical part of the production process for all applications mentioned above. It is important to closely monitor the concentration levels of the hydrochloric acid with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. Although Hydrochloric Acid Concentration can be created in excess of 40% (Concentrated Grade), Industrial Grade high concentration HCL is 30-35%, which is most stable for transport and storage, and reduces the loss of HCL to evaporation. As the concentration lowers, other names for the concentrations exist, such as Muriatic Acid which can range in concentrations of 21-35%.
Hydrochloric Acid is a prime candidate for concentration measurement through use of its Refractive Index (R.I.). Unlike Sulfuric Acid, the R.I. for HCL Acid is extremely linear, rising from 0% at 1.333 R.I. to 40% at 1.425 R.I.
An inline process refractometer is used to monitor the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid level in real time. Based upon the refractive index (R.I.) of a given aqueous solution, the refractometer can determine the HCL concentration of the solution and relay that value in real time for proactive process control.
The Electron Machine Corporation’s family of inline process refractometers are the ideal instrument for measuring these concentrations.
Electron Machine Corporation manufactures the MPR E-Scan; a rugged, dependable, accurate, and cost effective in-line refractometer. Capabilities include 4-20mA and 0-10VDC outputs, a variety of up to 8 internal relays for direct control of a variety of valves, alarms, and warning indicators, as well as the capability of saving up to 99 different recipes each with their own alarms, set-points and controls. The wetted metal of the sensing head is normally made from Tantalum (other alloys are available). The non-wetted parts and the interconnection cable can be Teflon® coated for added protection.
Benefits of Using the MPR E-Scan:
- High precision and durability in extremely corrosive conditions.
- Continuous quality control.
- Hazardous chemical environmental and safety regulation compliance.
- Low maintenance, repeatable operation.

Inline Process Refractometers Used in Vaccine and Drug Development
Inline process refractometers are used in drug development and in vaccine manufacturing to ensure safety and efficacy. Their use is integral to the development of virus-based vaccines for diseases such as influenza, MERS, SARS, and COVID-19.
Process refractometers determine the concentration of dissolved solids by making real-time optical measurements of the refractive index (RI) and temperature in a solution. In-process Refractive Index monitoring improves the understanding of process conditions, reduces pharmaceutical development time, increases production capacity, improves product stability and product quality, as well as assisting in regulation compliance. RI measurement and control data supports the pharmaceutical manufacturer's process validation throughout the drug or vaccine development cycle.
Inline process refractometers with hygienic or sanitary process connections are specially designed for the pharmaceutical industry and are used for the measurement of dissolved components in liquids. Sucrose density in virus purification is one example. Viruses can be banded in density gradients of sucrose, and the purification of viruses is done via sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Measuring the sucrose density with process refractometers allows for safe, accurate and efficient collection, ultimately assisting in speedier vaccine development.

Inline Process Refractometers for the Pharmaceutical and Food Processing Industries
When it comes to easily, reliably and accurately determining the concentration, identification or purity of substances, refractometry is the ideal method. Inline process refractometers are especially helpful as they supplement laboratory research and contribute to production improvement. These process analyzers deliver results within fractions of a second, allowing real-time monitoring and automatic control of processes.Electron Machine Corporation's MPR E-Scan™ inline refractometers provide process analysis and control of liquid and slurry process streams in pharmaceutical and food processing applications. The MPR E-Scan™ provides accurate control and precise monitoring of variables in process streams, including percent concentration, solids dissolution, and solution reduction. The inline process refractometer also excels in measuring and managing crystallization, verifying and regulating the correct mix of various compounds, and determining the sugar concentration in a wide variety of products. In addition, the MPR E-Scan™ is often used to track concentrations in evaporation processes.
Designed with ruggedness and durability in mind, the IP65 / NEMA 4X rated MPR E-Scan™ will withstand the rigors of CIP (Clean-in-Place), allowing the inline process refractometer to be thoroughly and meticulously cleaned at any time in a process environment. Each process refractometer is designed and manufactured specifically for each application, assuring trouble-free service with a minimum amount of maintenance for years to come.
The operation of the MPR E-Scan™ inline process refractometer is based upon the principle of light reflection. Light radiated from the LED passes through the prism surface to be reflected from a mirror to the prism-to-process interface. The light reaching this interface intersects the same interface over a series of angles chosen to include critical angle for the process being measured. Light intersecting the interface at an angle greater than critical angle is refracted into the solution. Light intersecting the interface at less than critical angle is reflected up to a second mirror and out of the prism up to the CCD linear array to be scanned.
In short, the MPR E-Scan™ inline process refractometer makes process metrics more visible to the user and significantly reduces product quality fluctuations. This increases efficiency, lowers production costs, and increases process reliability. The MPR E-Scan™ can be applied to a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, thanks to their field-proven and reliable technology.

Successful, Long-term EMC and Florida Food Products Partnership Maintains Consistent, High Quality Production
Florida Food Products, innovator and leader in clean-label, natural food processing, and Electron Machine; a winning team.
Electron Machine Corporation and Florida Food Products have had a long and successful relationship with each other. In fact, Florida Food Products was one of the first food companies Electron Machine Corporation ever placed a rugged, in-line, process refractometer into operation; the year was 1956.
Located just a few miles from each other, the relationship was a natural. Recently, Florida Food Products underwent a large expansion, requiring additional instrumentation from Electron Machine Corporation. The first of these new generation in-line process refractometers was installed this past summer, and immediately paid dividends. Upon installation concerning a test batch, the process refractometer read the material at a lower percentage of BRIX than anticipated by the engineers starting the line. The staff at Florida Food Products made the appropriate changes to the concentration and the refractometer was deemed a great success. Since this time, another unit has been purchased by the Florida Foods Team.
Electron Machine Corporation salutes the long relationship we have had with the Florida Food Products Team and looks forward to servicing this valued client for many years to come.
