CIP
Cleaning in place
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 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:

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

CIP Optimizing
CIP optimizing is the process of minimizing the cost inputs of CIP cleaning
JohnsonDiversey
Optimizing drivers
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

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

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 Flow meter or conductivity interface detection. Managing liquid interfaces into pipes not vessels.
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. JohnsonDiversey
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

The CIP flow is best circulated bypassing the CIP tanks with the heating and chemical dosing in line
