Cleaning in Place (CIP) systems for the chemical industry

In the chemical industry, it is critical to maintain clean and safe plants, reducing downtime and ensuring business continuity. C.L.A. Cleaning-in-Place(CIP) systems, designed to the customer’s URS, are Clean-In-Place systems that can be integrated with plant utilities (CIP/SIP) and are constructed of Stainless steel and Special alloys to withstand even severe conditions.

Applications

C.L.A. CIPs find use in the internal cleaning of chemical plants, without disassembling equipment. Each system is made to order to accommodate process lines that handle different fluids, including potentially corrosive ones.

FAQ

Are CIPs suitable for aggressive chemical fluids?

Yes, through the use of AISI 304, 316L, 904 stainless steel and Special alloys HC22, HC276, SAF, selected according to the customer’s URS.

Can CIPs be integrated with existing facilities?

Yes, the systems are prepared for connection to site CIP/SIP utilities, ensuring compatibility and continuity.

What documentation accompanies the systems?

CLA provides dimensional certificates, tests, IQ/OQ and, upon request, FAT and SAT to support validation.

Do CIPs affect plant downtime?

Yes, because they allow automatic washing cycles, significantly reducing time compared to manual cleaning.
