Greetings everyone,
For the past 5 years I have been doing my CIP re-circulation in a closed system. I would fill the FV with appropriate amount of hot water and caustic. Make a loop between the bottom of the tank, pump and CIP arm. Run the CIP for 15-20min with all the vents closed. I was told yesterday that the producer might be running a danger of imploding or exploding the tanks. The tanks are fitted with 15psi pressure valve and re-circulation is under 10psi. Try to look up the info but couldn't find any SOP that mention venting, or lack of, during CIP. Any advice would be appreciated.
