Dominant’s Earthcare range of products meet our strict environmental and sustainability standards to reduce our environmental impact.

Applications

Citric C.I.P. Liquid can be used in wine tanks and other industrial CIP (Clean-in-Place) equipment. Can also be used as a mild passivation (pickling) of steel surfaces to remove corrosion and re-form protective oxide layers, when used at correct concentrations.

Directions

Tank Cleaning:

Use Citric CIP Liquid at dilutions up to 2-4kg/100L (2-4% w/v) dependant on the level of caustic residue present.
To lower pH further, continue adding Citric CIP Liquid until desired pH is reached.
Circulate with sprayball or other system for 20 - 30 minutes.
Monitor by testing pH.
Drain tank when clean, then rinse with fresh water after cleaning.

Passivation:

Use Citric CIP liquid at 1:4 dilution (20kg per 100L) or 10% active Citric Acid.
Soak steel for 30 minutes at ambient temperature or, for a more effective passivation, at elevated temperatures up to 60°C.
