For cleaning pipe work and systems

A producer of cheese in the food industry uses caustic soda and nitric acid to clean the pipe lines and systems of the production line.

The process

The tankers supply nitric acid and caustic soda for cleaning of pipe work and systems. The tanker is equipped with its own pump. The pump empties the cargo from the tanker to a storage tank. The pipeline consists of a flexible hose. 

The problem

Because the flexible hose is under high pressure, the hose sometimes jumps out of the coupling, causing acid and lye to escape. This causes a toxic cloud. Because the system was very dangerous the company decided to choose a safer system for both people and the environment.
