  • the cleaning installation EP2362008A1 includes a single supply line that fluidly connects each storage tank directly to the equipment to be cleaned, extending over a great length. In service, all cleaning liquids circulate in this supply line, which is therefore common to all storage tanks. During a cleaning process using the cleaning installation of EP2362008A1 , all the cleaning liquids circulate one after the other to each piece of equipment to be cleaned.
  • the supply line therefore only allows one piece of equipment to be cleaned at a time, which extends the cleaning time of a production plant comprising several pieces of equipment to be cleaned.
  • a cleaning fluid must “push” the previous cleaning fluid until it reaches the concentration necessary to clean the equipment, which requires disposing of the entire mixture of the two down the drain. cleaning liquids until the necessary concentration is reached.
  • Each transition phase induces long cleaning times and high consumption of cleaning liquid.
  • the supply line will be cooled to the temperature of the previous cleaning liquid. Then, when the next cleaning liquid is hot (eg water at 90°C), it must first heat the supply line to reach the equipment. clean at the necessary temperature. This heating of the power line induces high energy consumption.
  • the supply line directly supplies several pieces of equipment to be cleaned, the supply line must be sized to be able to supply the cleaning liquids with sufficient flow rates, pressures and volume for the largest equipment to be cleaned. Therefore the supply line is oversized for all equipment smaller than the large equipment to be cleaned, which results in a high cost for the cleaning installation.
