Regeneration of CIP

Cleaning-in-place (CIP) Regeneration of cleaning solutions
Principle
Cleaning-in-place (CIP) of piping and tanks in food production processes is achieved using acidic (ex: nitric acid HNO3) and alkaline (ex: soda NaOH) cleaning solutions, at optimized concentrations.
Conductivity set points generally used for cleaning solutions are:
- Acidic solution (HNO3): about 95 mS/cm.
- Alkaline solution (NaOH): about 90 mS/cm.
Equipments
- 2 conductivity controllers DCD 3000
- Conductivity probes (0 – 200.0 mS/cm ; K = 10).
Maintenance
- No specific maintenance for the probe located in the acidic cleaning loop.
- For the probe located in the alkaline loop, plan a cleaning with diluted hydrochloric acid, to remove deposits, every two weeks.
Interest
- Ensure a reliable cleaning.
- To respect the sanitary standards in the your industry. Optimize the use of chemicals.
- 2 conductivity controllers DCD 3000.
