Systems and methods for antimicrobial application and related data collection are described. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods of the present disclosure include calculating a dwell time or density of workpieces in a vessel; and modulating the one or more conditions of the system based on the dwell time or density of workpieces in the vessel.
G01F 23/00 - Indicating or measuring liquid level or level of fluent solid material, e.g. indicating in terms of volume or indicating by means of an alarm
G01V 8/10 - Detecting, e.g. by using light barriers
G05B 15/02 - Systems controlled by a computer electric

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERACETIC ACID MONITORING AND ADJUSTMENT IN HIGH PH SOLUTIONS
A system and method for adjusting a peroxycarboxylic acid are described. In an embodiment, the system comprises a process water source configured to carry process water; a valve configured to selectively place a source of a peroxy carboxylic acid in fluidic communication with the process water source; a first pump configured to pump an aliquot of the process water from the process water source to a testing location; a second pump in fluidic communication with a source of an acid and configured to pump a portion of the acid to the testing location in a combined flow with the aliquot; a peroxycarboxylic acid sensor positioned in the testing location and configured to generate a peroxy carboxylic acid signal based upon a concentration of the peroxy carboxylic acid in the combined flow; a pH sensor positioned in the testing location configured to generate a pH signal based on a pH of the combined flow.
Provided are foodstuff treatment systems that are convertible between a processing mode in which foodstuffs are processed (e.g., disinfected) and a clean-in-place mode in which the system operates to clean material (e.g., biological buildup) that has accumulated within the system.
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for treatment of substrates—such as foodstuffs—with a high pH composition and an oxidizer. These systems and methods give rise to enhanced disinfection performance.

The systems and methods can include calculating a dwell time or density of workpieces in a vessel; and modulating the one or more conditions of the system based on the dwell time or density of workpieces in the vessel. In an example, the system includes a vessel configured to carry a working fluid and a plurality of workpieces at least partially submerged in the working fluid; a delivery train configured to introduce workpieces into the vessel; a first counting sensor configured to generate an entrance signal based upon a workpiece introduced into the vessel; a transport train configured to transport workpieces introduced into the vessel to an exit of the vessel; a removal train configured to remove workpieces from the vessel through the exit; and a second counting sensor configured to generate an exit signal based upon a workpiece removed from the vessel through the exit.
