Cleaning agents of the beer brewing equipment
Today let us talk about the cleaning of the beer brewery equipment. We all know that the cleaning agents is the mainly factor that influence the cleaning result. A good cleaning agent should be: easily dissolved in water; easy for cleaning; do not react with the salt in water; no corrosion for raw material; low cost; convenient for usage; lower pollution for our environment etc.
1.Alkaline cleaning agents
The common used ones are Sodium hydroxide and Sodium phosphate
Sodium Hydroxide is a kind of strong base that can be a solid, liquid. It is basis of most of the cleaning agents and with a strong corrosion resistance. It is the basis for most of the cleaning agents,generally the fortified concentration at about 1.5-2%, and with sterilization function in the mean time. The sodium hydroxide liquid could be added with surfactant, that will reduce the surface tension of water and infiltrate the dirt, then make it fall off.
Sodium phosphate Its aqueous solution is alkaline and could etch the aluminum and stannum. It is not good for our environment as it included phosphorus.
2.Acidic cleaning agents
The acidic cleaning agents generally included Sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and various organic acids. Please do not use hydrochloric acid that could etch the stainless steel. The acid could remove the beer stone etc. Generally the diluted nitric acid or phosphoric acid (0.5-1%).
The organic acids with a lower corrosion compared with nitric acid. They are environmental cleaning agents, but with higher cost.
