Process tank

Process tanks are part of a process, so they’re connected to other tanks and machines. They’re part of a complex system and don’t operate in isolation.

Process tanks are themselves very complex in structure since they need to seamlessly integrate into the process as a whole. The tank may have several different tasks to carry out within the process. There are many areas in which a process tank is needed, such as boiling, mixing, reacting, cooling and even anaerobic digestion.

Process tanks can therefore also be referred to as boiling tanks, mixing tanks, cooling tanks or anaerobic digestion tanks.

Fields of use

Process tanks can be used in many different industries and anywhere where the production of a product is determined by processes. Anaerobic digestion tanks, for example, are part of the production process in beer brewing or wine production. They’re indispensable and are the focal point of the process. It’s similar in the chemical industry. Mixing and boiling causes different substances to react in order to get closer to the final product. Process tanks play an important role during this process as well.

Cleaning

Cleaning process tanks is very important. Whether it be in the food industry or chemical industry, easy and effective cleaning must be possible at all times. Accordingly, the most appropriate cleaning method for a process is CIP cleaning. CIP stands for „cleaning in process“ and entails cleaning all components involved in a process.

This removes the need for tediously taking apart and re-assembling individual parts. Even though it takes less time, the tanks, connectors and machinery are cleaned thoroughly.
