Abstract
Optimization of cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures using bench-scale equipment is severely restricted by the short testing times (typically 1–3 days) compared with the normal lifespans of industrial membrane materials (years). In our research, industrially used polyethersulfone membrane material (“aged membrane”) was migrated to a lab-scale filtration apparatus. Performance (flux) of aged membranes was found to be 10% lower compared to new membranes of the same specification. For each set of membranes, performance was on the same level during multiple filtrations with intermediate CIPs. Reducing the CIP from a three-step procedure (caustic, enzymatic, acid) to only one step (caustic) had no influence on subsequent filtration performance even though flux recovery after reduced CIP was as low as 38% compared to 90% after three-step CIP. Consequences of reduced cleaning could first be observed in the subsequent CIP where the level of resistance during the respective CIP steps was increased.
