We are interested in identifying alternative measuring devices with improved method error for use in water and beverage matrices. Currently, plants use conductivity, timers, and/or flowmeters to determine when a flavor is ‘changed-over’ or residual chemical is present.

The current method presents difficulties because it is unable to detect changes in water quality; conductivity, absorbance, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc.
The proposed sensor would have a more accurate measurement than current conductivity sensors. The capability of having an inline sensor (measures fluid in the pipe) would provide instantaneous feedback control to optimize rinse times, materials, and utilities. The CIP sensors would support chemical, water, and total line efficiency savings expanding across PepsiCo plants.
