•Application Note: Preventing Contamination: Nozzles In The Product Pathway
There are frequent situations where a nozzle, especially a tank washing device, is mounted in process equipment where it can come into contact with product or feedstocks. That nozzle could become a source of contamination, but it does not have to if you follow some basic practices that will minimize such problems.
The easiest example to consider is a tank washing nozzle mounted inside a tank. If it's part of a CIP system or left in the tank for accessibility reasons, it probably stays in place through all product cycles. During cleaning periods, it sprays washing chemicals and rinses. While the system is operating, it can be splashed with product or even immersed completely. The key is to keep it from accumulating materials that could ultimately become contaminants.
