A large national brewer required process engineering support for CIP system upgrades in one of its major plants operating with 4 million hL/yr capacity. The original piping system was not set up to easily facilitate alternate CIP processes. First Key provided process design/engineering for integration of new valves, pumps and instrumentation into existing brewery piping infrastructure to optimize CIP processes in an effort to reduce weekly downtime, thereby increasing uptime/capacity. The project implantation resulted in a CIP/piping system with the lowest practical weekly downtime requirement.
