Cip recovery system with membrane filtration
Industries implementing efficient clean-in-place (CIP) systems still encounter significant volumes of caustic wastewater that need disposal. Reducing these volumes can lower operational costs and environmental impact. Cleaning solutions often require frequent changes due to contamination by proteins, sugars, and colorants.
Recycle and regenerate spent Cip solutions
The GEA CIP Recovery Unit is a nanofiltration system designed to clean and regenerate spent caustic solutions used in CIP processes. By utilizing pH-resistant nanofiltration membranes, it can recover more than 90% of spent cleaning solutions. The system operates at fluid temperatures up to 70°C and employs ultrafiltration to remove suspended impurities. This reduces chemical loss and extends the usability of the solutions. Moreover, it minimizes wastewater disposal costs and integrates easily into existing CIP setups due to its plug-and-play and modular design. This system is ideal for industries aiming at better environmental compliance and cost savings in their CIP processes.
