Sigrist actively engages in the training and further education of future master brewers

On July 30, 2024, Thomas Mayr and Urs Imholz, representing Sigrist-Photometer, handed over a LabScat 2 measuring device to the leading training institute Doemens in Munich for the use in training and advanced education of future master brewers. With this commitment, Sigrist-Photometer is not just a donor, but an active partner, supporting future-oriented training and advanced education for specialists in the beverage industry.

With this commitment, Sigrist will be proudly included in the prestigious Doemens Walk of Fame. As a partner for Doemens, Sigrist will be a symbol of innovation and high professional competence, a badge of honor for all future master brewers.

    Saving energy in the brewery

    Saving energy is becoming more and more important, especially in sectors with high energy consumption such as the brewing industry. In view of rising energy prices, breweries are looking for ways to reduce consumption, especially in the area of cooling in the fermenting cellar, which can account for up to 40 % of total energy requirements.

    Technological advances and optimizations have already made it possible to significantly reduce the energy requirement per hectolitre of beer. One example of such innovations are the Sigrist turbidity meters, which are used to monitor and control the brewing process. These devices are characterized by low power consumption, which has even been reduced by up to 50 % with the latest generation.

    However, the real advantage of Sigrist devices lies not only in their low energy consumption, but also in their ability to shorten the fermentation time. Reducing the fermentation time by 1 to 2 days can reduce energy consumption by up to 10 % and prepare the equipment for the next brew more quickly. This not only leads to energy savings, but also to increased capacity and improved beer quality.

    In times of rising energy costs, it is crucial that breweries continue to look for efficient solutions to operate more sustainably while maintaining or even improving the quality of their products.

    Water

    Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona (CAT) / Spain

    The latest European Directive 2020/2184 established turbidity as a basic control parameter for the quality of drinking water. In anticipation of the new regulations, the Sigrist distribution partner in Spain, teqma, has worked with the Consorci d'Aigües de Tarragona (CAT), the water consortium of the city of Tarragona, to renew its turbidimeters. Tarragona is in the province of Tarragona with 860,000 inhabitants.

    CAT installed the AquaScat 2 WTM from the Swiss company Sigrist-Photometer AG at the various measuring points of the treatment plant and the distribution network.

    The AquaScat 2 WTM turbidity meter measures the turbidity in the free-falling water jet and thus enables a high resolution and accurate measurement down to low turbidity values of 0.001 FNU.

    »Due to the high resolution (0.001 FNU) allowing early detection of changes in water quality, low maintenance and easy calibration, the Sigrist turbidimeter turned out to be the measuring device we were looking for our water supply.«

    Traffic & Environment

    Road tunnel Gotthard / Switzerland

    Since September 2007, a total of 210 Sigrist smoke detectors of the type FireGuard are in use in the Gotthard tunnel and its approach tunnels. Together with additional sensors such as linear fire alarm cables, flow measurement devices etc., the smoke detectors are the basis for the early detection of smoke and fire events.

    In September 2016, after a period of use of 9 years, Mr. Werner Furrer, head of the Office for the Operation of National Roads (Switzerland), summarized their experience with the FireGuards as follows:

    • On average, there was one event per month, which was detected without fault
    • In a smoke event, the FireGuard is always the fastest system
    • No false alarms owing to correct parameterisation

    Water Reuse

    ARA Neugut / Switzerland

    The revised Water Protection Act, which came into effect on January 1, 2016, mandates for the elimination of micropollutants in wastewater. As a pioneering plant, ARA Neugut has been operating an ozone plant since 2014, where such micropollutants are successfully eliminated.

    The installed ColorPlus 2 system ensures continuous measurement of UV absorbance at 254nm before and after the ozone reactor. This enables ARA Neugut to monitor the elimination performance and thus add ozone as needed. Additionally, the ColorPlus 2 system also performs an automatic cleaning every 3 to 4 hours to prevent biofilm growth and guarantee reliable measured values at all times.
