METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE END OF A CIP PHASE
A method may involve directing a fluid through a fluid path that includes industrial equipment during a phase of a clean-in-place (CIP) process to remove soil from the industrial equipment. The method can include analyzing a turbidity of a bolus of fluid within the fluid path at a first time to provide a first measured turbidity of the bolus of the fluid and at a second time to provide a second measured turbidity of the bolus of the fluid.

The invention relates to neutral cleaning compositions comprising a surface modification polymer to beneficially aid in removing typical bathroom soils, such as hard water deposits, at a neutral pH. The neutral cleaning compositions effectively remove and/or otherwise assist in general cleaning of difficult bathroom soils without the harsh effects of a traditional acidic cleaning composition and without requiring PPE. Additionally, use of the cleaning composition beneficially aids in and/or improves subsequent cleanings.
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of pest elimination including all life stages of bed bugs. The present disclosure includes articles, systems, and methods of heat treatment to target and kill pests.
A system may monitor usage of a cleaning chemical and indicate when the chemical has expired and needs to be replaced. In some examples, the system includes a reservoir containing the chemical and a sensor associated with the reservoir that can detect user interaction with the chemical in the reservoir. The system may track an amount of time until the chemical in the reservoir is deemed to have expired and provide a user alert indicating expiration of the chemical. The system can control the amount of time remaining until the chemical is deemed to have expired based on the detected addition of the object to the reservoir.
