1. INTRODUCTION
This specification describes the minimum standards that a Cleaning In Place (CIP) unit must comply
with. This specification must be referred to in the technical specifications given to suppliers.

1.1. PURPOSE
The objectives of the document are to describe:
- the standard flow diagrams of the modules that form the CIP unit
- the running functions of the CIP modules and the associated parameters
- the specific automation rules and interfaces

1.2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION


The CIP is used to clean all the process installation from the milk truck to the filler machine.

The CIP unit is a group of different modules:


1. fresh water tank
2. recovery water tank
3. soda tank
4. acid tank
5. hot water tank
6. CIP lines

It is recommended to use different CIP units for the different areas into a factory:
• From Milk reception to prepasteurizer inlet – CIP done without hot water phase
• From Prepasteurizer outlet to pasteurizer or sterilizer inlet – CIP done without hot water
phase
• From Pasteurizer outlet to fermented product filler machine – CIP done with hot water
phase
• From Sterilizer outlet to dessert filler machine – CIP done with hot water phase

Prepasteurizer, pasteurizer and sterilizer have their own independent cleaning which will be described
in each module specification.

1.3. RESPONSABILITIES
The Industrial Management teams are responsible for the implementation of this specification.
It must be implemented in all newly-built plants.

2.2. THE FLOW DIAGRAM AND POSSIBLE VARIATION

The flow diagram definition is based on a functional analysis, which evaluate the added value and cost
of each variation. This analysis is an internal document.

2.2.1. Basic design


The CIP unit is divided into modules:
• Acid tank
• Soda tank
• Fresh water tank
• Recovered water tank
• Hot water tank
• Each Distribution lines

The order of the modules into the unit can be the following:

FROM PROCESS
EQUIPMENT

TO PROCESS
EQUIPMENT

1 2 3 4 5

- Fresh Water Tank, Acid Tank, Soda Tank, Recovered Water Tank and Hot Water Tank;

The order of tanks can be changed as far as Fresh Water Tank or Hot Water Tank is in first position to
ensure that at the end of the cleaning the CIP collector is rinsed with at least fresh water.

• Mixes between different supply lines and tanks must be avoided by using mixproof valves.
The return lines of the CIP tanks must be equipped with mixproof valves for hot water and single seat
valves for acid, caustic and recovery water. By using of mixproof valves it is possible to prevent
mixing of CIP solutions between CIP tanks and to protect the fresh water used for final rinsing and hot
water during sanitation. In addition, the consumption of CIP solution can be optimized, too.
As these valves will not in contact with product, so it is not necessary to clean the leakage chamber.
• The CIP unit cleans equipment by controlling flow rate, temperature, time and concentration of
cleaning phases.
• Flow rate and time can be adjusted to the equipment.
• Temperature and concentration are the same for all cleanings.
• Each equipment is connected to one distribution line.
• Each line can only clean one circuit at the same time.
• More than one distribution line can work at the same time.

• Return lines are equipped with conductivity-meters. The measure of conductivity makes the start of
timer for the cleaning phase possible and manage to recover the cleaning solutions.
• Return lines must be equipped with temperature transmitters. The temperature control will authorize
the start of timer for the cleaning phase and manage to recover the cleaning solutions.
• A flowmeter must be installed in return line to measure the flow in return and the volume of recovered
solutions.
• A filter in supply line must be installed to protect the equipment from foreign bodies: mechanical
particles, stones being created in the soda tank. Filters will not have any automatic by-pass.
Recommended grid mesh is 0.5 mm.
• Conductivity meter should be installed in return line of the condense in order to detect any leak on the
tubular heat exchanger installed in the recirculation loop and to prevent any damage in the boiler
hereby.

2.2.2. Water addition

The efficiency of preparation of cleaning solution can be increased by adding water directly into the
recirculation loop before the heat exchanger. In this case, it is necessary to install conductivity meter
before water addition. Physical break between the water line and the recirculation loop must be
assured.

2.2.3. Filters unit in return lines

Filters should be installed in return line to protect the CIP tank from particles or other solids
transported by the CIP flow especially in return lines cleaning filling fruit mixture.

The recommended grid mesh is 0,5 mm. Take care of installing a by-pass valve controlled by level
sensors installed in the filtering box.

The filter must be by-passed during first rinsing since solutions will be drained.

2.2.4. Flow rate during cleaning


The pump capacity in supply an return line must be defined according to
• the needed flow for pipelines,
• pressure needed in spray balls,
• and estimated maximum pressure loss on circuits.

Products Division Page 10 /42

♦ Pipelines

The flow must ensure the efficient mechanical action of cleaning solutions being one the four key
parameters for cleaning efficiency.

The flow must be created strong turbulence in the pipelines to be efficient during cleaning.
The turbulence depends on the following parameters:
- fluid characteristics (density, viscosity at certain temperature)
- velocity
- and the internal pipe diameter.

As the fluid parameters and the pipe diameters are fix, the needed flow rate will be achieved by the
velocity (or flow) ensured by the CIP supply and return pumps.

Target for the velocity recommended by NEPTUNE guideline is between 1,5 m/s and 2 m/s. These
values assure efficient mechanical action in most common pipe diameters. Considering the
differences in pipe diameters of a cleaning circuit, it is recommended to precise these values
considering the turbulence, defined by Reynolds number.

The following chart shows the flow rates recommended to ensure efficient mechanical action in
different diameters:

DIN SMS Turbulence


Diameter Diameter Speed Flow rate Diameter Speed Flow rate
DN DN
(inches) int. (m/s) (m3/h) int. (m/s) (m3/h) Re
1 25 25 2,26 4 25 23 2,47 3,7 57000
1 1/2 40 40 2,21 10 38 36 2,45 9 88000

2 1/2 65 65 1,67 20 63 60.5 1,83 19 108000

For largest diameters turbulance is reached even with less speed than 1,5 m/s. For example, in 4” we
have a high turbulence with 1,24 m/s which corresponds to 35 m3/h

High turbulence, mesured by Reynolds number, can be reach in large diameters even with less
velocity than 1,5 m/s. Following chart shows flow rates recommended for 3” and 4” diameter.

DIN SMS Turbulence


Diameter Diameter Speed Flow rate Diameter Speed Flow rate

4 100 100 1,24 35 104 100 1,24 35 123000
Re=(velocity*diameter*density)/dynamic viscosity

Important remarks:

- These data are based on experiences after visual check of the pipes following the cleaning.

- Especially in case of mixproof valve manifolds installed in tank outlet, the needed CIP pressure
for efficient cleaning of the seats and leakage chambers of the valves by independent plug-lifting,
it is necessary to install a dedicated CIP inlet for cleaning this part.

Concerning the collector (product outlet path in tanks) and valves manifold, please refer to Ultra Clean
Tank specification, DEP-SP-TAN-001.

♦ Spray balls in tanks

Flow rate or pressure of CIP solutions has to be compliant with the recommendations given by tanks
suppliers to each type of spray balls.

2.2.5. : Chemical sanitation

In the hot water tank or in the acid tank when the hot water tank doesn’t exist, it is possible to put an
injection of a chemical solution. This variation is used to prepare the installation to do the chemical
sanitation of the equipment as a cleaning option. In this case is necessary to install a pump to push the
chemical solution and a vessel above the tank to dose the chemical solution.

Chemical sanitation can be done in line without a buffer tank. The chemical solution is directly
injected in supply lines of CIP station. A flowmeter has to be installed in supply line of chemical
solution and connect to flow meter in water supply.

2.2.6. Alternative : Rotation of solutions to increase the availability of the cip unit
If the time of self-clean of a CIP unit reduces the availability of production lines used full time (e.g. 7
production days/week), a CIP unit with rotating cleaning solutions needs to be implemented. The
standard CIP module does not use this functionality.

Two options for the self-cleaning of the CIP unit:

1. Option 1 consists in emptying one CIP tank to the drain and cleaning it with the other CIP
solutions. This “classical” option is used in most of Danone plants.
Refer to point 4.5 for details.
2. Option 2 is the “CIP unit with rotating cleaning solutions”.
This option is recommended when it is necessary to increase the availability of the CIP unit
(production lines used full time).

Principles of a CIP unit with rotating solutions:

The cycle of rotation of cleaning solutions is automatically defined and monitored.


The operator triggers the rotation of solutions.
Initial conditions required:
- availability of the line for the transfer of the cleaning solutions from a CIP tank to another.
- availability of the line for the rinsing of tanks.

Operating principle:
1. The recovered water tank (tank n°. 1) is completely emptied,
2. The previous recovered water tank (tank n°. 1) is rinsed with lost solution of caustic soda,
3. The caustic soda solution is transferred to tank n°1 from tank n°2,
4. The caustic soda tank (tank n°. 2) is completely emptied,
5. The previous caustic soda tank (tank n°. 2) is rinsed with lost solution of acid (sent to drain),
6. The acid solution is transferred to tank n°. 2 from tank n°. 3,
7. The acid tank (tank n°. 3), is completely emptied,
8. The previous acid tank (tank n°. 3) is rinsed with lost solution of fresh water,
9. The solution of sanitation water is transferred to tank n°. 3 from tank n°. 4,
10. Tank n°. 4 becomes the recovered water tank.

Advantages (+) / Disadvantages (-) of this option:


• + increase of the availability of the CIP unit (cleaning of production lines possible without
stopping the CIP unit …)
• + Regular and efficient cleaning of the tanks of the cleaning unit
• - For the human safety, it is mandatory to set up, on site, a means of identification of the
solutions contained in the tanks (color code).
• - Cost of the station is bigger, because all the tanks, except the fresh water tank, are designed
as the hot water tank and with the injection of two concentrate, to permit to prepare soda or acid

Remark: the rotation time decreases if the use of the CIP unit increases. During the entire cycle of
rotation of the solutions, water is no longer recovered (there is no longer a recovered-water tank).

2.2.7. Recovery of the hot water contained in the CIP lines to save energy
At the end of a cleaning program (last phase is hot water), it is possible to recover the hot
water contained in the CIP lines in order to save heating energy. Cost savings are bigger in
case of long CIP lines containing a lot of cleaning solution.

The energy saving procedure proposes to recover hot water by pushing hot water contained in
CIP line with fresh water. For sanitary reason, pushing through the process equipment is
forbidden. Closed loop has to exist after the last process equipment on each CIP line for this
recovery.

Procedure when using additional closed loop: At the end of the CIP program, make a water
flush of the CIP line – separated from the process and packing circuit by physical break - and
recover the hot water in the hot water tank.

Caution: if a cleaning program of process equipment is aborted, it is required to clean the CIP line
before sanitizing another process equipment by the same CIP line.

The cleaning return (water rinsing + Soda + soda rinsing) has to be done through the additional closed
loop in order to prevent pollution of process equipment (cleaning solution can contain organic matter).
In all case, periodic cleaning of closed loop line is required.

3. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
3.1. STATE MANAGEMENT
The CIP unit is composed by several equipment:
• fresh water tank
• recovery water tank
• soda tank
• acid tank
• hot water tank
• CIP lines

For each equipment, sanitary and production states have to be controlled.

3.1.1. Sanitary state management

Cleaning solution Cleanliness state


fresh water tank Clean
recovered water tank NOT clean
soda tank NOT clean
acid tank NOT clean
hot water tank Clean

CIP line cleanliness state is the same as the content cleaning solution.

Particular attention should be taken on sanitary state management for CIP lines. Initial
condition for sanitation of a process equipment is “equipment AND CIP line are clean”.
It is forbidden to start a sanitation if there is recovered water or soda or acid in CIP line.

3.1.2. Production state management


They are defined in the Specification DEP-SP-ENG-004 “Control of production states of process
equipment”.

3.1.3. General production states :


1. Standby (prepared)
2. Undergoing Maintenance
3. On “running functions” (refer to the list of detailed running functions hereafter) (*)
4. End of run
5. In fault
6. Pause

3.1.4. (*) Detailed Running functions list for CIP Tank :


The running function can take the following values
• Function : Preparation of Cleaning solutions
• Function : Cleaning of process equipment
• Function : Self-Cleaning of CIP tanks

3.1.5. Specific production and sanitary states for each CIP tank module :

- “Prepared state” means that the cleaning solution in the corresponding CIP tank module is ready to
be used. In general, a tank is prepared when level; concentration and temperature are between limits.

- “Dirty state»: means that the CIP tank has to be cleaned. The dirty state depends on timer and
maximum number of cleanings.

3.1.6. Specific production states of CIP lines:

- “Supply state”: the CIP line supplies a cleaning solution from a CIP tank to the installation to be
cleaned without returning the cleaning solution to the CIP tanks (no recovery of cleaning
solutions).
Example: after first rinse of the installation with water, the caustic soda is send to the installation
to be cleaned and the CIP return line is open to the drain.
The caustic soda will be recovered in the caustic soda tank of the CIP unit as soon as the
temperature and the conductivity are correct. At this time, the CIP line goes to a “balanced state”.

- “Balanced state”: the CIP line supplies cleaning solution to the installation to be cleaned and
return the cleaning solution to the CIP tank.
This is the normal state during the cleaning of installations.

- “Return state”: cleaning solution pushes another cleaning solution through a CIP line and returns
it to the CIP tank.
Example: at the end of the acid phase, acid is pushed with fresh water. To save cleaning solution,
the remaining acid in the CIP circuit returns to the acid tank of the CIP unit.
Then, the water goes the recovered water tank of the CIP unit (balanced state).

3.2. PERSONNEL AND PROPERTY SAFETY

An emergency push button (PB) has to be installed in the unit. When this PB is pressed, all the
running functions are set to fault position.

It is necessary to install a shower for the security of people in each CIP unit area and use the safety
clothing when it is necessary to work in the CIP unit area.

If the CIP unit is into the building, it is necessary to drive the CIP vents to the exterior.

4. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The principal CIP unit functions are:

- Preparation of Cleaning solutions : permanent control of temperature, concentration and level in


CIP tanks
- recovered water tank preparation program
- fresh water tank preparation program
- acid tank preparation program
- soda tank preparation program
- hot water tank preparation program

- CIP unit self-cleaning

- Cleaning control of a process equipment


- temperature
- flow
- duration
- concentration
- pressure

PREREQUISITE:
Unless specified, there are timeout on all level switches. Timeout are adjustable for each transmitter.

4.1. CIP PRINCIPLES COMMON TO EACH FUNCTION

4.1.1. Maximum filling and heating time of CIP tanks


The following CIP tanks needs make-up water:
- fresh water tank
- hot water tank
- soda and acid tank
Water flow rate is checked during the filling operations to ensure continuous water supply.

* Maximum filling time:


Filling with a water flow rate below the threshold is allowed, but an alarm is triggered during a
predetermined time. After that time, if the filling is not finished, the cleaning solution preparation
program stops with a fault; the operator is informed with a fault message.

The maximum filling time control is enforced in two different situations: filling starting with an
empty tank and normal filling operation.

* Maximum heating time:


In the same way as filling time, a maximum heating time of cleaning solution in the CIP tanks is
monitored.

4.1.2. Parameters to control for cleaning solutions preparation (soda, acid and hot water tanks).
The temperature and conductivity of CIP solution tanks are controlled in the preparation programs.
In order to save disponibility avaibility of the CIP unit, automatic actions have to be taken before
being out of range.
In addition of states conditions described in paragraph 3.1.3:
- Cleaning solutions can be used when temperature and conductivity are between minimum and
maximum “prepared value”.
- When temperature or conductivity is below “Low preparation threshold value” or higher than
“High preparation threshold value” solutions can be used but automatic action are launched to
reach the set point.

4.1.3. Optimisation of cleaning solutions consumption


The objective of this optimisation is:
• to increase availability of CIP unit : to be sure that there is enough solution in CIP tanks to
clean equipment
• to increase recovery of solution: control maximum high level in CIP tanks to recover all
cleaning solutions.

In order to optimise the cleaning solutions consumption, the volume of recovered solution is
estimated to prevent over consumption of fresh solutions

The volume of the CIP tanks will be estimated by means of a litre count. The amount of litres of
solution used for cleanings will be subtracted from the amount of water supplied through the water
line. This data will be used in further calculations, such as reports and consumption.
Refer to following chapter as an example of methodology save cleaning solutions.

To extract cleaning solution from a CIP tank, three different level points will be considered:
- Security Level (analogue threshold*): under this limit, a new cleaning phase will not be
allowed to start. When the tank recovers the security level, the new phase will be able to start
automatically.
- Low security Level (analogue threshold*): below this point, all the cleanings in supply
state will pause.
- Level Switch Low (digital transmitter): the CIP tank is empty and all the cleanings using
this tank must stopped except the lines in return state.

*Analogue level in CIP tanks is measured by level transmitters

When a CIP tank is not used (no cleaning program using the solution of this tank), the tank is filled to
the maximum tank level.

The estimated amount of water to add will be: 'tank capacity' minus 'estimated level of the tank' minus
'the estimated solution still in the lines'. This amount should correspond to the estimated loss of
cleaning solution in the last cleaning phase.
While filling, the heating regulation is activated. The tank will be considered filled if the maximum
level is maintained for a predetermined time (timeout) or when the calculated amount has been
incorporated.

A cycle of recirculation (loop on the CIP tank) will be carried out at a determined frequency to check
conductivity of the solution in the CIP tank.
If either the conductivity or the temperature fall below the low threshold values, the concentrated acid
or soda addition and/or the heating are activated to get the preparation set point. At this time, the
filling in progress stops. When the preparation values are achieved again, the filling operation
continues with a recalculated amount.

4.5. SELF-CLEANING PROGRAM

4.5.1. Description
This program cleans the tanks of the own CIP unit.

All tanks are to be cleaned except fresh water tank.

The cleaning of each tank is done by the following way:


1. Emptying the tank to clean to the drain
2. Cleaning with cleaning solutions (rinsing, soda, rinsing, acid, rinsing) by using a short loop on
CIP line 1. Soda tank does not use soda for self cleaning, Acid tank does not use acid for self-
cleaning.

Cleanliness state of each tank is control by timers and number of cleanings:

4.6. CLEANING CONTROL OF A PROCESS EQUIPMENT

4.6.1. Description
This program cleans the parts of the process installation or filler machines selected through CIP unit
and distribution line X.
All equipment has the same cleaning program structure.
Before starting the program, a selection will be available to choose the type of CIP program to
perform.

4.6.2. Cleaning principles.


Cleaning programs are managed by the PLC of CIP unit. Process PLC is working as a “slave” during
the cleaning of the equipment.

The effective cleaning of equipment is achieved if the TACT parameters are respected.
(TACT parameters: Temperature, Mechanical Action, Concentration of solutions and Time)

The effective cleaning time is counted when the 3 parameters, temperature, concentration and flow
rate reach the thresholds. These thresholds must be compliant with the Quality Assurance
Specification.
Effective cleaning time recommended is presented in the following chart:

SODA ACID
Spray balls 15 min 7 min
Pipelines 6 min 3 min

Control points:
- temperature and concentration are measured on the return CIP lines
- flow rate is measured on supply lines
NB: the flow meter on the return line is required to guarantee the integrity of the cleaning paths
(no return means leakage or loss of solution to drain).

In the case of circuits with more than one path, effective cleaning time must be defined and achieved
for each path of the circuit. Total cleaning time on each flow path can be achieved by more cleaning
circles (number of circles: “n”)

1. First rinsing with recovered water:


The step concludes when reaching the cleaning target time or volume of the phase.

2. Soda / acid / hot water flush:


The flush concludes when the conductivity and the temperature on the return line are correct.

3. Soda / acid / hot water phase:


During soda or acid phase, the cleaning time is stopped if the temperature or conductivity on the
return line is not correct or flow rate value in supply line is under the threshold.
After a timeout, if the temperature, concentration or flow is still not correct, the cleaning program
is stopped and a fault informs the operator.
SPECIFICATIONS CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTION

Code: DEP-SP-CIP-001 Date June, 2005

Version E
Engineering Dairy Title: CIP UNIT SPECIFICATION
Products Division Page 33 /42

When restarting, the program will move back to the soda/acid or hot water flush, to ensure the
conditions for a proper cleaning phase.
The step concludes when reaching the cleaning target time of the phase in all paths.
During hot water phase (sanitation), the cleaning program resets the timer if the temperature
and/or the conductivity on the return line are not correct.

4. Fresh water flush:


5. The step concludes when the conductivity on the return line is correct.

6. Fresh water phase:


The program stops the phase time if the return conductivity value is too high (above the soda or
acid threshold recovery point).
When restarting, the program will move back to the soda/acid or hot water flush, to ensure the
conditions for a proper cleaning phase.
The step concludes when reaching the cleaning target time or volume of the phase.

Lifting in mixprof valves must be done during each phase except during first rinsing and sanitation
with hot water. Duration of liftings to be adjusted during the start up (approx. 2 seconds).

4.6.4. Communication between CIP unit and equipment to clean


This part is very important to control cleanings by good coordination between solutions sent by CIP
unit and position of the equipment that receive solutions.
Communications with other equipment are described in each equipment module specification.

The CIP unit sends to the module equipment to clean the following information, all the time unless
specified in comment.

INFORMATION SENT FROM CIP COMMENT

Customized cleanings have to be programmed in case of using additional disinfecting solution


in acid tank. In this case, temperature set point has to be adjusted and frequency of
customized cleanings adjustable.
These additional disinfecting have to be applicable to equipment before last heat treatment.

Cleaning type recommended:


• The standard cleaning recommended are programs number 4 and 6 when it is necessary to do the
sanitation.
• As minimum, one time per week it is recommended to do a cleaning with acid, in this case, it is
recommended to lunch programs 1 or 4 when it is necessary to do the sanitation (the number of
recommended cleanings with acid depends on the equipment and the quality of the water).
• During weekends (Saturday, Sunday), when there is no production, it is recommended to do on
Friday or Saturday the cleaning without sanitation (program 1 or 3), and on the Sunday or
Monday, when the production starts to do the sanitation (program 7).
