When steam appears at the vent valve, it would be closed and steam would be<br />

admitted to all of the remaining tank top piping to bring the entire system to<br />

temperatures and pressures required.<br />

THAT IS CIP!<br />

The selection, arrangement, and installation of the above-described generic CIPcleaned<br />

process may vary in many ways, for example:<br />

& Vessels may vary in capacity from 30Lto 16 m 3 ,orlarger.<br />

& Vessels may be fixed or portable, or acombination of both.<br />

& Vessels may be simple in design and function (e.g., media prep or buffer prep),<br />

or complex (e.g., abioreactor with multiple legs to be cleaned with the vessel).<br />

& CIPS/R and product piping may be fixed, or fixed in combination with flexible<br />

hose final connections to portable equipment.<br />

& Individual TPs may be replaced with larger top and bottom located multitank<br />

TPs.<br />

& For the production facility, all TPs may be replaced with valve arrays of<br />

diaphragm, rising stem mixproof, or diaphragm mixproof type, to enhance<br />

control and minimize labor requirements for conversion fromproduction to CIP<br />

and back.<br />

& Transfer lines may be smaller (generally) than CIPS/R piping, and may include<br />

other equipment in the transfer path. Some components which permit flow in<br />

only one direction, i.e., adiaphragm pump, may require abypass for CIP in<br />

reverse flow.<br />

FIGURE 9 This version of the schematic illustrates the flow path for SIP sanitizing of T2 with the<br />

filter housing and transfer line prior to the T1 T2 transfer. The design would also permit hot water<br />

sanitizing. Afull sterile process would require several added valves to maintain sterility during<br />

removal ofthe 3-Leg U-Bend after sterilize-in-place.<br />
