Abstract

A determination of optimal energy insertion, or input, results from a measurement of opacity at various heights in a fluid coagulating system and at the same time from measuring a deviation width of the opacity at a lower measuring point. Simultaneously, a continuous comparison takes place of the opacity measured at the various measuring points, which changes with time, and a comparison of the deviation width of opacity. The optimal energy insertion in the fluid coagulating system is achieved if, at each point in time, the opacity at all measuring points is maintained approximately the same and the deviation width of the opacity is maintained at or near a maximum.
