SoniView: See the Unseen in your Beer Production

Eric Davis, Los Alamos National Laboratory

SoniView’s novel acoustic technology offers inexpensive, real-time fermentation monitoring and automated yeast slurry dumps without the need for equipment modifications. SoniView’s technology is easily retrofitted to any conical fermentation tank, providing inexpensive and non-invasive sensing of key fermentation parameters and physical properties. It simplifies quality control through automated fermentation analysis and precise automated slurry dumps for minimal product loss and consistent batches. SoniView can help breweries decrease turn-around time, remove speculation of when the next batch is finished, increase the profit from each batch through minimized beer loss, and enhance QA for improved batch consistency.
