Cleaning-in-place (CIP) offers numerous advantages for industries that use it, such as faster, less labor-intensive, and more consistent cleaning, with reduced chemical exposure risks. Originally a manual process involving balance tanks, centrifugal pumps, and system connections, CIP has evolved since the 1950s to include fully automated systems with programmable logic controllers, multiple balance tanks, sensors, valves, heat exchangers, data acquisition, and specialized spray nozzle systems. Simplistic manual CIP systems are still utilized today. The CIP design principle is tailored based on soil load and process geometry, employing either highly turbulent high flow-rate solutions for pipe circuits and some filled equipment, low-energy sprays to fully wet surfaces for lightly soiled vessels (utilizing a static sprayball), or high energy impinging sprays for heavily soiled or large diameter vessels with dynamic spray devices. Enhanced cleaning effectiveness is often achieved through the use of elevated temperatures and chemical detergents.
