Pharmaceutical Firm Specifies Burkert CIP System

Converting a manual CIP process to automatic across 80 reaction vessels has enabled Burkert to achieve savings of GBP120,000 a year for a UK pharmaceutical manufacturer. Prior to the installation of the Burkert system, the reaction tanks were each cleaned for six hours and constantly flushed to drain with hot water at 700C. Burkert suggested a solution for each reaction vessel based upon a Type 8311 pressure transmitter, a Type 8222 condition sensor and a Type 8041 flow sensor.

These products were installed on a test group of the vessels and linked the plant SCADA system. The CIP process was then undertaken in an automatic mode, with the 8222 condition monitor providing effective feedback of when the water in the vessel was clean - and hence the vessel itself - to the SCADA system, which terminated the process. On the basis of the initial tests, engineers at the pharmaceutical plant calculated that their CIP costs would be reduced by 40 per cent using the Burkert equipment.
