Purpose of CIP

Factors affecting the CIP system
Time
Typical biopharmaceutical production: 24 hrs per day seven days a
week (CIP : a typical 8-hrs turn around cycle)
Temperatures
If proteins are present, the pre-rinse should be done to remove much
proteins. (Subsequent rinses and washes should be done done at
higher temperature.)
Solution Concentration and Type
Solutions can be made from commercially available bases and acids
or proprietary solutions can be purchased from firms specialized in
cleaning biopharmaceutical equipment.
The rinses and washes: ambient DIW
The alkaline wash: 1~2% caustic concentration
The acid wash: lower concentration of acid

Factors affecting the CIP system
Internal Finish
- Cleaning: chemical reaction
- The typical biopharmacetical finish: 15 Ra u-in electropolished 316 L SS
- Electropolishing: smooth the surfaces and reduce the differential
between the microscopic peaks and valleys.

Flow Rate / Turbulence
Tanks
Component
Spray balls
- function: to distribute the washes and rinses to the top of the tank
to wet all surfaces by a combination of spray and falling films
to allow the chemical action to take place
- properties
: typically sized for 15-20 GPM each and a 25 psi
mulitiple spray balls at the same time
important to design all paths within a circuit for the same flow rate
(measured by a Reynolds Number)
Lines
Principle : the controlling elements of cleaning kinetics
turbulence will increase fluid movement to the surface
a velocity of 0.5 ft/sec : sufficient turbulent flow
Recommendation
the higher velocity: better flow for cleaning (a velocity of 5ft :valid)

Design for Cleaning (1)
Piping
The system should be completely welded.
(the possibility of accumulation of contaminants)
Return lines should have as much slope as possible to both encourage
gravity draining and discourage air pockets from forming which would
prevent cleaning fluids from reaching the surfaces to be cleaned.
Branches should join the return header with minimum dead legs.
(Dead legs and pocket can retain dirt or even cleaning chemicals.)
The lines should be cleaned individually or in series.
No permanent connections should be provided between CIP and the
process: transfer panels, hoses, or mix-proof valves should be used to
make and break connections.
Proximity switches or sanitary pressure gauges are used to confirm
paths and prevent mis-operation and/or unsafe operation of the CIP
circuit.

CIP skid
Normally contains a tank for rinse and chemicals solutions and a tank
dedicated to WFI for the final rinse.
Components of the CIP skid : a circulating pump, heat exchanger, and
chemical day tanks
Provide cleaning for CIP tanks since the tanks can be the dirtiest part
of the system.

Filters
Since filters are hard to drain, it may be necessary to remove, and
possibly discard, the cartridge for cleaning and then reinstall a new one
before sterilization.

CIP Systems
It is preferable to use a common philosphy for all CIP systems in a
plant. This will avoid operational errors, provide consistent control
system configuration, and maintain documentation format between CIP
system and users.
Systems use either a self-priming pump or an eductor to assist in
returning and recycling washes and possibly some rinses to minimize
chemical consumption, utilities, and effluent.
(Fig 2 : a typical CIP system : wash, rinse ranks, supply and return
pumps, a heater, piping, instrumentation, controls)
Eductor systems use eductors either alone or in combination with
pumps to assist with recirculation and to make up the chemical
solutions
Pump systems have flow rates and smaller diameter piping than
eductor systems. (eductor and pump system will operate better at
colder fluid temperatures.)
Systems can be balanced by splitting spray balls so that they are
utilized either individually, in pairs, even two of three open at any one
time to make all paths within a circuit use the same flow rate.

CIP Cycles (2)
Pre-Rinse
: use either a fresh, clean, cool water source (DIW)
or reuses the previous final rinse
: The pre-rinse is used to remove residual process fluid and debris.

CIP Cycles (3)
Hot-Rinse
: removal of the alkalinity and additional dirt
Hot-Rinse
: residual acid and any additional dirt is removed with a hot DIW rinse.
Final-Rinse
: A final rinse (WFI) removes traces of previous wash.
: monitoring of pH, conductivity or resistivity

Control
It is important that the control system be easy to monitor, control, and validate.
The main control elements are time, temperature, and flow rate.
The main function of the control system is to pulse valves and operate rotating
equipment
The CIP system status can be considered as one of three or four states.
