Cleaning-In-Place (CIP)
The Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) equipment permits
cleaning of the plate heat exchanger.
CIP performs
• cleaning of fouling and descaling of lime
deposits
• passivation of cleaned surfaces to reduce sus-
ceptibility to corrosion
• neutralization of cleaning liquids before drain-
ing.
Follow the instructions of the CIP equipment.
The following CIP models can be used: CIP200L,
CIP400L and CIP800L.
Cleaning liquid Description
AlfaCaus A strong alkaline liquid, for removing paint, fat, oil and biological depos-
its.
AlfaPhos An acid cleaning liquid for removing metallic oxides, rust, lime and other
inorganic scale. Includes an inhibitor for passivation.
AlfaNeutra A strong alkaline liquid for neutralization of AlfaPhos before drainage.
Kalklöser P An acidic cleaning powder with a corrosion inhibitor particularly effective
for removing of calcium carbonate and other inorganic scale.
Neutra P An alkaline powder for neutralization of used Kalklöser P prior to dis-
posal.
AlfaAdd A neutral cleaning strengthener to be used with AlfaPhos, AlfaCaus and
Kalklöser P. Provides better cleaning results on oily, fatty surfaces and
where biological growth occurs. AlfaAdd also reduces any foaming.
Alpacon Descalant An acidic, water based, non-hazardous cleaning agent designed for
removal of scale, magnetite, algae, humus, mussels, shellfish, lime and
rust. Containing BIOGEN ACTIVE, a biological mixture made from
renewable materials, as an active ingredient.
Alpacon Degreaser A neutral degreaser to be used with Alpacon Descalant. Effectively
removes oil, fat or grease layers, but also reduces foaming. Containing
BIOGEN ACTIVE, a biological mixture made from renewable materials,
as an active ingredient.
