GEA Smart Filtration cleaning software

GEA Smart Filtration CIP and GEA Smart Filtration Flush, a software duo, automatically intervene in CIP (cleaning-in-place) processes, pulsing the pumps and flushing the membranes individually and according to real-time water quality.

GEA Smart Filtration Flush uses sensors to measure the permeate quality of the water during the flushing process, reducing the freshwater required. The software stops the process as soon as the necessary hygiene level is reached, and the cleaning agents are discharged. Depending on the type and size of the plant and the water properties, operators can reduce freshwater requirements by up to 50%.

The GEA Smart Filtration CIP regulates cleaning efficiency. It allows the pumps to operate in a pulsating manner as opposed to running continuously. As a result, the pumps are claimed to consume up to 50% less energy during the CIP process.
