Introduction
In a food manufacturing company, the contamination of the brine system with sugar syrup led to significant operational challenges, including uncontrolled pH levels and corrosion issues.
Background
The brine system is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of food products. However, the leakage of sugar syrup caused a drop in pH, resulting in increased acidity that accelerated corrosion. This not only posed risks of leaks but also led to elevated Total Suspended Solids (TSS) levels and a noticeable reddish discoloration in the brine solution.
Eximious known for innovative and simple approach was involved and entrusted with the job.
Challenges
- Uncontrolled pH levels leading to increased acidity.
- Corrosion of system components, risking equipment integrity and operational efficiency.
- Potential leaks and quality issues in the brine solution.
Solution
To address these challenges, the following strategies were implemented:
- Dosing of Brine Plus: This solution was introduced to stabilize pH levels and mitigate corrosion within the brine system.
- Chillcare Filtration System: This advanced filtration system was employed to remove impurities, including sugar syrup residues, thereby restoring the integrity of the brine solution.
Results
The implementation of Brine Plus effectively stabilized pH levels and reduced corrosion rates. Additionally, the Chillcare Filtration System successfully removed contaminants, improving the overall quality of the brine and enhancing operational reliability.
Conclusion
Through targeted interventions, the food company was able to overcome significant operational challenges posed by contamination in the brine system, ensuring the reliability of their processes and products.
