The following factors are carefully considered in the design of a CIP system
- Operating parameters to provide the desired cleaning effect – flowrate, pressure, temperature, detergent concentration, cleaning head cycle time
- Cleaning medium – Purified water, WFI, treated water, mains water, detergent solutions or solvents.
- Cleaning head selection – static, rotary, or rotary jet cleaning heads
- Utilities to implement selected program – water, steam, compressed air, effluent
- Standards of construction
- Control system - i/o count, expandability and extent of data storage for program verification and trending, status display including identification of fault condition
- Documentation requirements
- Inspection and testing including PED or ATEX as appropriate.
