To address the shortcomings of traditional continuous in-line blending, SensiBlend developed a patented adaptive feedback control system. It not only monitors, but adjusts the blending process in real time by adding an in-line chemical analysis to volumetric proportioning, the company says. Instead of metering in the ingredients and relying on downstream quality assurance testing, the SensiBlend system uses process analytical technology to analyze inputs from sensors that measure pH, UV and other variables to adjust ratios before releasing fluid flow, the company says. Customers can program the system with a detailed chemical analysis, and SensiBlend ensures these set points are met. The product’s patented skid system adjusts proportioning on-the-fly based on the measurement inputs to ensure product quality, the company says. With an in-line, real-time system, quality control is integrated into the process.
