Can anyone provide me the cleaning procedures for cleaning of extractors, separators and
Pipelines of the SCFE plant ?
The procedure we are following currently is as follows:
1) Circulation of solvent in the pinelines for 1 hr by using a pump.
2) After one hour fresh solvent is taken again for circulation. If it founds ok visually (Clear and
no suspended particles) else the above process repeated again.
3) The inner walls of the extractor and separators are cleaned manually using solvent (Hexane,
Ethanol, Acetone etc).
4) Flushing of the whole line by fresh CO2 to remove any solvent inside the pipes or in extractor.
5) The first batch is then separated and not sent for commercial sale.
Does anyone has a better method of cleaning. Any other material/soap/detergent which can be
used to replace solvent.
Regards,
Sandeep
