Abstract
Fermentation product monitoring systems and associated methods. A fermentation product monitoring system comprises an ultrasonic transmitter configured to transmit a transmitted ultrasonic signal through a fluid; an ultrasonic receiver configured to receive a received ultrasonic signal; an automated valve configured to regulate a flow of the fluid; and a signal generation and analysis assembly configured to actuate the automated valve responsive to detecting a transition from a first fluid comprising a slurry to a second fluid comprising a non-slurry. A method of using a fermentation product monitoring system comprises transmitting a transmitted ultrasonic signal through a fluid; receiving a received ultrasonic signal; processing a received electrical signal; and actuating an automated valve to regulate a flow of the fluid responsive to a detecting that the fluid within the primary ultrasonic signal path has transitioned from a first fluid comprising a slurry to a second fluid comprising a non-slurry.
