Abstract: A method of measuring contamination in fluid that is expelled from a food processing system is presented. The method of measuring is carried out with fluorescence. The fluid is typically allowed to enter into an energy transfer system, but if the contamination exceeds a certain level, the fluid should be prevented from entering the energy transfer system. The fluid is generally comprised of water expelled from a sugar processing operation.

Abstract: The invention provides devices, methods, and compositions for dry chemical reagents to measure calcium, magnesium (total hardness), and other analytes in water using colorimetric devices. The measurement may be a one-step procedure without the need of dilution and multi-step preparation, so that it can be easily employed by untrained personnel. The chemical reagents may include dyes, buffer reagents, masking reagents, competing ligands, and other chemicals such as fillers. The chemical reagents may be grinded together as a homogenous fine powder, equally dispensed into small containers for each test or dried as film or solid using the means of air, low heat or vacuum. The composition may be easily dissolved into water samples and stable for long term storage.
