Sanitation and Clean in Place (CIP)
Sanitation and Clean in Place (CIP) Water
Aclarus designs and engineers proprietary ozone solutions for sanitation and Clean In Place (CIP) for a variety of industrial applications including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, beverages, dairies, wineries and breweries.
Ozone is applied as a final sanitation rinse following standard cleaning practices. Ozone does not require chemicals, such as chlorine, or hot water. Aclarus’ closed loop CIP system can be incorporated into the sanitation process to provide reuse water and significantly reduce water use and costs.
Ozone has been used for water disinfection for more than 100 years, however prior to the 1970’s chlorine was the global standard for sanitation. When it was discovered that chlorine treatment created toxic THM’s, interest in ozone significantly increased. Ozone is now used for sanitation and CIP in multiple industries because it is universally recognized as safe and more effective than chlorine.
Ozone is the fastest growing technology in the global water disinfection market today.
Here’s why Aclarus Ozone is the superior solution for sanitation and Clean In Place (CIP):

Aclarus commitment to customer service provides assurance that you’ll receive reliable, responsive support for the life of your system.
Sanitation and Clean in Place (CIP) Case Study
Central Smith Ice Cream Case Study
Central Smith was seeking a better solution to treat challenging well water contaminants. The well water is used for every aspect of their business from ice cream production, packaging, equipment cleaning, the cooling tower, as well as the kitchen and bathroom facilities. Water treatment had been an ongoing challenge for decades. The hard well water was hard on the equipment due to the constant clogging, and also made cleaning and sanitizing difficult. Everything was a challenge.
