»CoControl-FouliQ«

Predictive detection of fouling in heat exchangers - increasing safety and efficiency

High protein = high cleaning effort?

The AI-supported monitoring system »CoControl-FouliQ« makes it possible to detect fouling in advance during the production process. This makes it particularly suitable for the production process of high-protein products that are currently in high demand, such as yoghurt drinks or mixed milk drinks.

»CoControl-FouliQ« uses real-time data from clamp-on temperature sensors at the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger and evaluates it using a special machine learning model. Temperature curves serve as an indicator for incipient deposits, making it possible to plan cleaning efficiently and in line with requirements rather than at fixed intervals.

As a result, the system not only helps to conserve resources and optimize system availability, but also increases product safety by ensuring reliable and consistent process control.

»CoControl-QCM«

Reliable inline cleaning monitoring for pipelines

»CoControl-QCM« - know when cleaning has really been successfully completed!

The oscillating quartz-based sensor solution was specially developed for cleaning monitoring in closed piping systems. For the first time, »CoControl-QCM« makes it possible to measure the contamination status directly on the pipe wall during the fouling and cleaning processes and to draw reliable conclusions about the cleaning success and actual cleaning requirements with the help of a special evaluation algorithm.

The highly complex sensor enables reliable inline detection of a wide variety of contaminants, such as product deposits, biofilms and crystalline fouling. Product changes or different cleaning agents or phase changes can also be detected, as the dampening behavior of the fluid above the sensor changes due to viscosity. The sensor can be easily integrated into existing systems as a retrofit solution.

»AJCsens«

50 % less cleaning time - 100 % safety and control during tank cleaning

With the »AJCsens«, the Fraunhofer IVV presents a smart spray cleaning system for on-demand tank cleaning, which offers a forward-looking answer to the ever-increasing pressure on time and resources thanks to its enormous savings potential.

The highly compact OnBoard contamination sensor system of the jet cleaner allows permanent inline monitoring of the cleanliness status and, for the first time, direct detection of the contamination status on the inner tank surfaces. In combination with the option of specifically adapting the cleaning and movement paths to the tank geometry and the typical contamination patterns to be expected, it is possible to carry out cleaning as required and thus save over 50% of the cleaning time.

The cleaning system combines a motor-driven jet cleaner that can be freely controlled in two axes with a highly compact and robust contamination sensor in a hygienic design housing and intelligent software.
