Standard Single Use CIP System and Integration Leading Technologies. Individual Solutions.
Dec 19, 2015
There are three importantelements to consider in thedesign and implementation ofany CIP System; the CIP Skid,the equipment & systems to becleaned and the CIP supply &return lines.
The CIP Skid controls thecleaning (“T.A.C.T.”) parametersof Temperature, Action(velocity/pressure), Chemicalconcentration and Time ofexposure. It can be configuredwith many different options as required by the owner toachieve the desired cleaningresults.
Knowledge and Experience Required
More of a challenge is thedesign considerations of theequipment & systems to becleaned. In recent years theindustry has given moreattention to this and importantguidelines have been publishedby ASME-BPE, ISPE, etc. Andwhile these guideline havemade large strides addressing
the mechanical aspects, it is not mandatory (or sometimespossible!) for equipmentsuppliers to follow them. Thus it requires knowledge and experience in identifyingpotential CIP issues relating to equipment geometry anddeveloping a tactical CIPapproach to the process system.
There are several integrationtechniques for connecting theCIP skid with the targetedprocesses to be cleaned with theCIP supply & return circuits.Perhaps the most known is the use of flow-plates so that“make-break” circuits can beestablished, thus giving theowner a safe operation with a degree of flexibility albeit a manual operation. In moreadvanced operations, the use of matrix piping technology is used which employs mix-proof valves that allow the CIPsupply & return to be totally“hardpiped” and automated,thus maximize the efficiency of the CIP operation.
GEA Liquid Processing takescomplete responsibility for all aspects of the CIP System.
Our Process Engineers will audit your process forcleanability. Our CIP Systemskids are completely designed,engineered, fabricated,automated and tested in ourworkshop. We can furtherintegrate the CIP System Skid into your operating plantutilizing the latest integrationtechniques.
We assign a qualified ProcessEngineer to your project tofacilitate discussions regardingsite-specific requirements,integration concerns and final FAT/SAT protocols. Thisvertically integrated projectapproach has the benefit of: • Seamless communications
between disciplines• Eliminates budget variances
that would result from havingmultiple contracts
• Enhances the “speed tomarket” of the overall project

CIP System In today’s pharmaceutical and biologic manufacturing,cleaning the process equipment and systems is crucial to the overall success of the enterprise. For larger productionand bulk facilities, cleaning is accomplished by acentralized CIP system and is considered a critical utility.

Control System Integration
One of the keys to success is the correct integration of the controlsystem to the process design and the CIP elements. In manycases, the CIP flow path will share process devices such asvalves, pumps, agitators etc. which will need to be energized in sequential fashion to ensure that cleaning will take place.
Furthermore, CIP programs are set-up to allow configuration of the controllable parameters by authorized operators, thus allowing the system to be easily optimized duringcommissioning or during the life cycle of the process. The result is a secure CIP system that will be repeatable and reliable in operation!
GEA Liquid Processing is staffed with knowledgeable ControlEngineers that are experienced with GAMP guidelines and can deliver complete, seamless control systems or provide the required interface with existing control systems.
