Ozone clean in place in food industries (OZONECIP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2005, End date: Dec 1, 2008,

Background Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems are closed processes in which a recirculation cleaning solution is used to disinfect food-processing plants. Though these cleaning and disinfection methods are essential for maintaining hygienic conditions, they have significant environmental impacts, particularly high water consumption and production of highly-poll ...
