Definitions

  • a distribution arrangement for an in-place cleaning system comprising main supply lines for cleaning liquids and rinsing water fed by pumps from storage tanks and a suitable water source, and return lines to the tanks, each individual cleaning circuit or part thereof being adapted to be connected between each main supply line and the corresponding return line or drain line by individually operable valves.
  • This invention relates to the in-place cleaning of plant and equipment, particularl as used in the potable liquid industry.
  • each storage detergent and sterilant the cleaning solutions
  • a Water supply and a circulating pump the cleaning solution storage tanks
  • a separate circulating pump is used for each circuit and automatic valves are provided on each cleaning solution storage tank.
  • the circuits to be cleaned could include respectively a road tanker, a storage tank and a pipeline. They could also include other types of process plant, or alternatively all the circuits could include the same type of equipment. In man installations it is, for example, necessary to clean a number of road tankers or storage tanks at the same time.
  • the cleaning solutions are pumped through the circuits by the respective circulating pumps and the valves admit water, sterilant and detergent selectively to the circuit.
  • these valves would be opened and closed in sequence to perform the following programme:
  • Water rinse Detergent circulation Water rinse Sterilant circulation Water rinse In the lines connecting each piece of process plant back to the cleaning unit valves are used to direct the water rinse to drain and also to return the detergent and sterilant to the appropriate storage tanks for re-use.
  • a further disadvantage of this arrangement is that the line from the cleaning unit to each circuit carries all the solutions and where, as is usually the case, hot detergent is used, this leads to considerable heat loss as the line is heated and cooled by the successive fluids.
  • the invention consists in a distribution arrangement for an in-place cleaning system comprising storage tanks for cleaning liquids, a source of rinsing water, pumps for pumping cleaning liquids and water along separate main supply lines, return lines for returning the cleaning liquids to the respective storage tanks, and individual supply and return conduits for a plurality of cleaning circuits connectable by valves to the main supply lines and the return lines respectively.
  • each main supply and return line can be arranged specifically for the fluid it carries, for example the hot detergent line can be insulated to conserve heat and the water line may be made of wroughtiron or similar material to reduce cost.
  • the drawing illustrates a common distribution arrangement for three cleaning circuits, shown as a road tanker 1, a storage tank 2 and a pipeline 3.
  • Each cleaning circuit includes a supply line 4 and return line 5.
  • Each supply line 4 is selectively connectable by remotely controlled valves 4a, 4b and 4c to a water line 6, a sterilant supply line 7 and a detergent suppl line 8.
  • Each return conduit 5 is connectable selectively by remote controlled valves 5a, 5b, 50 to a drain connection, a sterilant return line 9 and a detergent return line 10.
  • Sterilant and detergent solutions are stored in tanks 11 and 12 and supplied by pumps 13 and 14 to the lines 7 and 8 respectively. Water from a main supply is pumped by pump 15 to line 6.
  • Lines 9 and 10 drain into tanks 11 and 12 respectively.
  • the detergent is normally used hot and the lines 7 and 10 may be insulated to conserve heat.
  • valves 4a, 4b, 40, 5a, 5b, 5c are opened and closed in sequence to provide the cleaning programme described previously.
  • Recirculation may be provided "through relief or check valves (not shown) between the lines 7 and 8 and the lines 9 and 10 respectively.
  • a distribution arrangement for an in-place cleaning system comprising a plurality of circuits, the arrangement comprising storage tanks for cleaning solutions a source of rinsing water, and pumping means for supplying the cleaning solutions and water to the circuits according to a desired programme, the arrangement having the improvements of comprising separate main supply lines for each of the cleaning solutions and the water, individual pumps feeding the respective main supply lines from the storage tanks, return lines for returning the cleaning solutions to the respective storage tanks, a drain connection, individual supply conduits and individual return conduits for each of the plurality of circuits, and valves adapted to connect each of the main supply lines to each of the individual supply conduits and each of the return conduits to each of the return lines and to the drain connection.
