In industrial piping systems, contamination quickly develops due to scaling and deposits such as lime and biological growth. These build up on the inside of the pipes and restrict flow.
To restore performance, periodic cleaning—such as CIP processes—is often necessary. These cleaning procedures are not only time-consuming, but they also temporarily shut down operations and require the use of chemicals and additional rinse water. This results in lost production, operational costs, and a burden on the process and the environment.
Because contamination builds up again afterward, this cycle continues to repeat itself. In severe cases, pumps and other components can be damaged, leading to additional maintenance or replacement.
