Hi all,
I am firing up our used 7 bbl Portland Kettleworks system for the first time, and need to run an acid CIP to remove the scale and mineral buildup from the previous owners. There are a couple major problems though: for one, the outlet at the bottom of the tank is on the side, and there is a lot of water on the bottom after it is done draining, making it potentially very hard to rinse out any residual chemicals. The other, and more trouble problem, is that the outlet pipe is 1" copper, and will not tolerate the acid... Caustic/PBW is not going to cut it in this case, is there anyone who knows about a product that will take off minerals and scale but won't corrode the copper pipes?
