Description

EHEDG Switzerland, FHNW / School of Life Sciences, and FORCE Technology offers a unique opportunity to experience optimization of CIP cleaning and cleaning validation in practice. The two-day event will be a variation of lectures on cleaning of closed processes including simulation of flow to optimize flow conditions for cleaning and practical sessions in the pilot plant with methods for visualization of cleaning efficiency in practice employing fluorescent and testing according to EHEDG Doc 2 in closed equipment.

Venue

University of applied sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, School of Life Sciences, Institut für Chemie und Bioanalytik, Hofackerstrasse 30, 4132 Muttenz

Trainers

Wolfgang Riedl FHNW is Lecturer in Process Engineering / Chemical Engineering and Head of Pilot Plants: Thermal Separation Processes, Biorefinery and Natural Products

Alan Friis FORCE Technology is an independent technology provider who runs EHEDG testing on a regular basis an EHEDG Accredited Testing Laboratory (ATL)
