Optimization and modeling of an electrolyzed oxidizing water based Clean-In-Place technique for farm milking systems using a pilot-scale milking system

Electrolyzed water as a green cleaner: chemical and physical characterization at different electrolysing parameters

“…Electrolyzed water (EW) is seen as a good opportunity to reduce the chemical consumption cost (Dev et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2016). The EW is generated by using the EW generator.…”

Improving the efficiency of ‘Clean-In-Place’ procedures using a four-lobed swirl pipe: A numerical investigation

“…CIP is a complex operation which typically involves a warm water rinse, washing with alkaline and/or acidic solution, and a clear rinse with warm water to flush out residual cleaning agents [5]. The CIP efficiency dependents on many factors, such as the type of soil to be removed, the cleaning time, the temperature of the cleaning agent and the favourable hydrodynamic force of the moving liquid [2,6].…”

Mathematical modeling and cycle time reduction of deposit removal from stainless steel pipeline during cleaning-in-place of milking system with electrolyzed oxidizing water

“…1), designated as specimen #4 and 5 at the "downstream locations". Specimen #4 was 147 placed 4.6 m after the return elbow (i.e., 15.6 m from the inlet), and specimen #5 placed 1.2 m M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 8 Other components essential to the milking system were also included in the simulator as 152 previously described (Dev et al, 2014), such as a claw with liners, solution sink and receiver jar, 153 vacuum system and milk pump. When conducting CIP, the mean solution slug velocity was 9.1 154 ± 1 m/s and 3 slugs per min and the air entrainment rate was set at 0.12 m 3 /min.…”

“…The slope of the 158 pipeline in the simulator was set to 0.8% to facilitate gravity draining. 159 The alkaline and acidic EO water solutions were generated using an EO water generator soiling procedure as suggested by our previous study (Dev et al, 2014), i.e., one third (12.7 L) 176 of the raw milk followed by a 10 min air dry, repeated three times. After the soiling was 177 completed, the specimens were dried in an incubator (Model Symphony, VWR international, 178 Radnor, PA), cooled in the desiccator (Model Dry-keeper AutoA-3B, Sanplatec Corp., Osaka, 179 Japan) then weighed using a high precision balance (Model XP504, Mettler-Toledo, LLC., 180 Columbus, OH) with a weighing range of 0 -520 g and a readability of +/-0.0001 g. The 181 deposit mass was determined by subtracting the measured mass of the stainless steel 182 specimen before and after each experiment.…”

“…They were carefully 230 transferred to the desiccator then left overnight for experiment next day. Meanwhile, the rest of 231 the simulator with five dummy straight pipe sections (of same length as test specimens) inserted 232 at the five vacated locations was shock cleaned to return the inner surfaces of the rest of the 233 simulator to the initial state for experiment next day (Dev et al, 2014). The next day, the rest of 234 the simulator along with the five straight pipe dummy sections, already shock cleaned, was 235 soiled again using the same five-time soiling procedure.…”
