CIP Cleaning in place

The circulation of non foaming cleaners without dismantling

the equipment.

An automatic and systematic cleaning of the inner

surfaces of tanks, heat exchangers, pumps, valves
and pipes.

 CIP properties

Strong and hot solutions can be used. The heat, the

chemistry and the mechanics can be sustained
long.

The solutions can be reused.

Can be automated and reproducibility is good.

Investment in equipment is high.

The mechanics are not always sufficient

 Vertical vessel flow requirements - sprayballs

Vertical vessels

For most vessels, the sprayball delivers a uniform
quantity of solution to the upper circumference of the
vessel

Based on soil level, deliver a given quantity of solution
to a unit length of circumference - called liquid loading:

Dont forget about flow OUT of vessels

 Sprayball pressure

Sprayball pressure is critical

Generally in the range (1.0) 1.5 - 2.5 (3.0) bar

Too little pressure and the vessel walls are not reached

Too much and the spray atomises reducing mechanical
action

Larger sprayballs with larger hole diameters can operate
at higher pressures without atomising.

All sprayballs have specified flow / pressure curves

 High pressure rotary sprayheads

Add impingement to the mechanical action

Generally consume a little less water

Have specific times to wet surfaces and impinge on them dependent

on pressure and gearing

Not very effective on larger vessels under 5 bar pressure

Use similar data to specify as sprayballs

Use manufacturers recommendations

Toftejorg have a computer simulation

program called TRAX - use it

 Optimizing drivers

CIP system design

clean circuits - no dead legs, no flow splits

accurate and non competing instrumentation - conductivity
monitoring

no leaks

CIP program

correct CIP program philosophy

CIP preparation sequence - correct conductivity starting point

tidy CIP fluids interface management - always in lines never in
tanks

correct valve sequencing on monitor signals

defined terminators each CIP step

 CIP optimizing - circuit volume

To predict CIP losses and costs we must know the CIP circuit volume.

This has nothing to do with the size of the CIP tanks.

It is the amount of liquid held up in the CIP headers and the vessel or line being
cleaned.

To calculate the circuit volume for a line clean we need to know the diameters of
the lines and the length of each line size.

To calculate the circuit volume of a vessel clean we need to know the line
information and the dimensions of the vessel being cleaned.

If there is other
JohnsonDiversey processing plant in the CIP circuit, we need to know its volume
too.

 CIP optimizing - chemical loss management

Liquid loss for an efficient vessel CIP system is about 10% of circuit volume.

Line cleans can be run more efficiently than vessel cleans - as low as 5% loss.

Effective loss management depends on:

Effective Flow meter or conductivity interface detection.

Managing liquid interfaces into pipes not vessels.

When managing liquid changes in vessels the program must be stepped.

New liquid to sprayball chasing old liquid into vessel.

Over scavenge old liquid from vessel into return line.

New liquid into vessel chasing old along return line to interface
detector.

First step should be volumetric and set for each vessel.

CIP optimizing - chemical loss management

measured as % of concentrate detergent lost compared to the concentrate

detergent in the CIP circuit volume

concentrate detergent lost is calculated by CIP tank, volume and

concentration, before and after CIP

concentrate detergent in circuit volume calculated as the volume of solution

held in the CIP circuit excluding the CIP tank at the starting concentration
