The first industrial installation was completed in 2012 at the CILAM site in Réunion. The GreenCIP has achieved significant savings and greatly reduced the environmental impact of the plant. We invite you to browse the articles posted by Mr. Olivier BARRAULT to recap the years of operation of this Green CIP unit:
"I am grateful to have led this innovative project with me that gives CILAM a head start in terms of CSR."
This video illustrates the result of the collaboration between Elodys and Laïta on the innovative project applying Green CIP technology for the regeneration of detergents, on one hand for potash, and on the other hand for replacing commercial detergents on the market intended for washing dairy membranes with regenerated and naturally additive solutions.
“It is a process adapted to our dairy industry constraints. It is a deliverable that represents a reduction in the pollutant load discharged as well as a decrease in the consumption of detergents. This solution is fully functional.”
After 12 months of laboratory work followed by field validation, the D&S team concluded that the Green CIP application is feasible for the regeneration of highly concentrated caustic soda resulting from the washing of sugar evaporators. This led to the implementation of a first industrial project at the Tereos site in Bois Rouge on the Reunion island.
We have thus demonstrated our ability to further expand the scope of the Green CIP technology, with new challenges and constraints, but always exciting.
This is a very beautiful achievement to which we are associating two of our Partners: the companies STIA and HONORE.
Yet another new application area for the Green CIP process, but this time in the world of metallurgy. Some industrial players in the metallurgy sector indeed carry out surface treatment, where the baths must be regularly renewed due to their concentration of metals.
Such is the case for one of GreenCIP' clients, the company Honeycomb, whose processing of aluminum parts leads to this type of issue that generates significant treatment and disposal costs.
The GreenCIP solution significantly reduces these impacts in this case.
The pastry and bakery manufacturing sector is not traditionally a user of CIP stations; however, we have implemented a complete system for various water recoveries at this client, and a CIP that integrates the principle of regenerating caustics and acids from the outset. Furthermore, the installation also treats a portion of the effluents to reduce discharges.
