Micro-organisms
During production of beer, several micro-organisms are likely to grow because of nutrient-rich environment (sugar, amino acid, phosphate, sulphate, oxygen, vitamins, minerals) and suitable conditions (temperature, time, pH)
However, characteristics of beer alcohol, CO2, SO2, pH reduce the range of organisms. Examples:
Lactobacillus (L.brevis, L.lindneri, L.brevisimilis, L.frigidus, L.coryniformis, L.Casei)
Pectinatus cerevisiiphilus

What are bio-fouling and biofilm
Fouling: undesired deposit of materials on surface
Organic: deposit of fat, oil, protein
Inorganic: precipitation of inorganic crystal or scaling
Particle: silt, clay, humid particles
Bio-fouling: undesired deposit and growth of microorganisms on surface particles (interface) which can multiply on the expense of nutrient
Biofilm: is a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), associated with working materials, corrosion products, debris, soil, particles, etc
Biofilm includes films on surface, flocs, (floating biofilms), mat and sludge all kinds of cell in matrix

Principles to reduce biofoul & biofilm
Nature of live: brewery has to learn to live with biofoul / bioflim and keep them under control elimination of their affection
Detection: the growth of biofoul / biofilm and their affection
Defining detection parameters (cell/cm2, CFU/cm2, biofilm thickness), points, sampling points to monitor their growth, affection
Setting up a monitoring system: crucial for timely detection of biofilms and countermeasure optimization
Tolerance of biofoul/biofilm growth: applying risk management in terms of Haccp and product quality to set up max tolerance. Either:
Thickness of biofoul / biofilm
Micro-organism plate count on suitable media
Cleaning: is more important than killing biofilm organisms. Setting up a suitable cleaning regime with consideration of affection and cost
Prevention: where possible, biofilm management is done by nutrient limitation (nutrients are potential biomass)
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 25
Biofilm growth and threshold
Monitoring biofilm growth on time via quick testing method (ATP swab) or Onvida sensor
Pain Threshold is defined by user where the affection of biofoul, biofilm pathogenic and product quality - is measurable

Killing vs Removal biofilm
Killing does not necessary to remove biomass, so dead biomass can still cause problems for process, product and health (head exchanger, membranes, process water)
Disinfection means inactivation of micro-organisms and this frequent job creates additional cost but not to sustainable solution

Cleaning principles
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 30
What to clean: soil
To eliminate impurity of solution called soil
To disinfect a surface effectively, elimination of soil must be completed first
Soil is any undesired matter on surface including product whether containing micro-organism or not
Sources of soil:
Residues of products (beer extracts, fats, lipids, proteins )
Residues of water-soluble (salt, sugars) and acid-soluble products (calcium precipitates, dissolved inorganic)
Residues of water/acid-non-soluble (yeast)
Bio-film (bacteria, mould)
Residues / carry-over matters from cleaning and disinfection products
Contaminated by external environment (dust)
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 31
Cleaning of soil - Function
Function of cleaning soil: is to remove/eliminate soil without leaving residues by either one or combination of actions:
Dissolving / emulsifying
Chemical reaction
Physical: mechanical, thermal
An effective cleaning of soil depends on soil characteristics, nature of surface and selection of
Right physical actions
Right cleaning product
Sufficient activity of cleaning product (concentration, activity level)
Right cleaning procedure (regime)
Right cleaning tools/equipment
Right process control conditions
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 32
Cleaning soil
Function: cleaning of soil is achieved by one / combination of energies:
Mechanical
Liquid rinsing flow (hl/h respective with designed flow Re)
Pressure flow impact (bar)
Brushing (kg/cm2, frequency time/s), stirring (rpm)
Thermal: only effective when it goes with time and limited by machine component and economy reasons (0C)
Chemical
Removal of soil without leaving residues
Concentration, frequency and contact time (economy use)
Environmental impact
Affection on material being cleaned (machine component, pipe)
Time is combined with energy to have necessary cleaning but sometimes a waste and limited by product process flow
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 33
Cleaning product - Function
Function of soil cleaning is achieved by the help of a cleaning product or also called carrying-product
Without cleaning product, soil cannot be removed from surface/system
Function of cleaning product: is to
Set a complete and full contact between soil, surface and product by wetting, lowering surface tension
Eliminate adhesion of soil on surface by rinsing
Reduce soils gravity by dispersing soil in small particles
Carry soil particles in product till it is discharged to sewer by dissolving or emulsifying and suspending them - keep floating detached particles to prevent precipitation
Sequestering: eliminate / prevent the fall out water hardness salts
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 34
Cleaning products
Surfactants: makes a link between organic matter and water
Anionic
Cationic
Non-ionic
Amphoteric
Wetting / Rinsing agent: reduces surface tension of water only
Dispersing agent: keeps removed soil in suspension avoids the formation of soil floc
Sequestering agent: binds itself to something else
Alkaline:
EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid) can dissolve scale binding with calcium and break it up when rinsing
Phosphonates
Na5P3O10 Gluconates

Mechanical rinsing flow - pipeline
Fluid movement: Reynolds index
Reynolds index for pipeline: Re = *r*v/n
: density of chemical product (g/cm3)
v: average flow velocity (cm/s)
r: pipe radius (cm)
n: dynamic viscosity of liquid (g/cm*s)
Flow during cleaning of pipe line at internal surface
Re < 2,000 : laminar flow
2,000 < Re < 3,000 : transition flow
Re > 3,000 : turbulent flow
Real turbulent flow starts only at Re > 10,000
Internal pipe surface and welding line are failure of Re
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 52
Mechanical rinsing flow pipeline (cont)
Rule of thumb for liquid flow respectively with Re > 3,000
Cold cleaning (ambient temperature): velocity >< pipe diameter
For pipe diameter 50 mm, a flow > 3.5 m/s must be reached
For pipe diameter > 50 100 mm, a flow > 2 m/s must be reached
For pipe diameter > 100 mm, a flow > 1 m/s must be reached
Hot cleaning (80 850C): velocity 1 1.5 m/s is sufficient
Flow rate is calculated from pipe diameter and velocity
If velocity is lower than above, cleaning is not effective, i.e. presence of soil residues after cleaning
If velocity is higher than above, there is no improvement of cleaning but a risk of water hammer, damage to pipe work and fittings
If velocity is as above but soil residues are found at final rinse, look at effectiveness of other cleaning actions and energies

Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 54
Mechanical rinsing flow - tank
Reynolds index for tank: Re = mF/n
mF: mass flow of medium film a meter tank width (circumference)
n: dynamic viscosity of liquid (g/cm*s)
Flow during cleaning internal surface of tank
Lamination film 200 < Re < 500 : 0.5 1.5 L/min/m2
Turbulent film Re > 3,000 : 1.4 3.3 L/min/m2
As experiment, at Re > 3000 and Ra = 0.8 stainless steel tank, the flow speed on internal tank surface is about 0.022 0.025 m/s
Extra mechanical effect: pulse dwell with fixed spay ball
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 55
Mechanical rinsing flow Plate Heat Exchanger
Rule of thumb, cleaning of heat exchanger requires a detergent flow rate which is 20 30% higher than the product flow rate
For high soil content product like wort, cleaning rinsing flow of PHE is in reverse direction of product flow, i.e. cleaning product going from outlet of PHE to discharge at inlet of PHE
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 56
Mechanical flow pressure impact
Flow pressure impact is critical in cleaning of soil in tank. All tank cleanings are done by spray device system
Spray ball inlet flow pressure is very critical
Static spray head : 1 2.5 bars
Rotary spray ball / disk : 5 8 bars
Too little pressure: tank wall is not reached, less flow pressure impact to remove sticky/solidified soil, not enough rinsing flow for tank
Too high pressure: reduces effectiveness of rinsing flow
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 57
Thermal of cleaning flow
Temperature is defined according to
Cleaning product used (supplier spec)
Customer specification (machine, system, fittings, sealant)
Soils characteristics
Material surface to be cleaned
Not always higher temperature of cleaning fluid, lower cleaning time!!

Control and reduction of soil load
CIP is a cleaning system integrated into production process can be manually controlled or completely automated
03 type of CIP programs:
Regular Cleaning and Disinfection (C&D)
Disinfection only
Occasional Cleaning & Disinfection
TPM 1st priority: Regular CIP program is set up and controlled for a standard soil load and micro-infection level and routes. It is effective when
Soil type and load level (thickness) is controlled (what and how much)
Soil deposited location is controlled (where)
CIP program conditions are controlled
TPM 2nd priority: Less soil load is on surface and system, less cleaning activities (procedure) is required, i.e. lower cost, higher productivity
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 66

What is hygiene?
Hygiene is
Compliance with all conditions
During design & use of process equipment
To achieve the greatest possible suitability of process
For the purpose to guarantee the highest possible safety for customer of the product
Functions of hygiene are
Clean-ability of equipment: easily to clean, disinfect protect product from contamination
Avoidance of penetration of micro-organism from external to system
Inhibition of micro-organism growth in equipment: like dead-ends, gaps, cracks, bio-film
Suitability of process in compromising hygiene compliance and other equipment functional requirements (ex OPI)

Hygiene zone
Zone B: basic level of hygienic design and maintenance for open areas like outside buildings, walking way, canteen
Zone M: medium level of hygienic design and maintenance to protect the interior of food processing equipment during closed processes like fermentation, filtration
Zone H: high level of hygienic design and maintenance to protect product contamination during open processing like culturing / propagation, filling from environment and exterior of equipment

What hygiene practices
Hygienic standards should be set for
Suitable selection of equipment and design
Materials and accessories for C&D (ex smooth, no crevices, pits, edges, blind ends)
Correct construction
Process layout (ex cross contamination)
Process automation of the installation
Effective cleaning is difficult to check but a few below method is used:
Visual inspection before and after cleaning
Water break test (no drops on clean surface)
ATP-free swap test

ATP bio-luminescence
ATP is a molecule found in living organisms a main immediate source of usable energy for all activities of cell
Enzymes called Luciferases that emit light and when ATP is brought into contact with a combination Luciferin Luciferase, a reaction is taken place, resulting in production of light from release of Luciferase
The higher contamination, the more ATP present and more light is produced
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 93
ATP-free swab
ATP is practically used to evaluate the effective cleaning level instead of waiting for 3 5 days period where incubation of samples required
How ATP-free swab test works:
ATP swabs are pre-moistened with agents that help to lift soil off surface
After taking sample with the swab, it pushes into tube, is shaken and finally into illuminometer
Clean sample gives low light level
Dirty level gives high light level. The measure is made in RLU (Relative Light Unit)
Normally RLU > 100, the surface is not hygiene

Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 121
UV Light Application
UV-C 265 nm is germicidal, (1) di-merizes on ADN and inhibits bacteria to replicate molecule ADN, (2) produces a condense ozone environment (air)
Germicidal effectiveness is depended type of bacteria and UV dosage (Ws/m2) at the application point
Each bacterium has different UV resistance: protozoan cyst > bacteria spore > viruses > vegetative bacteria
UV dosage = UV intensity W/cm2 * Exposure time t (seconds)
UV intensity = UV intensity of Lamps * number of Lamps * Intensity Factor / Transmission Loss
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 122
UV Intensity
In air, UV transmission = 100% at a distance of 1 meter to application point. The closer the stronger and vice versa (table)
In distilled purifying water, UV transmission = 100% at a distance of 10 mm to application point
UV intensity sensor provides only means of ensuring that adequate disinfection
Ex: 04 lamps of 66 W/m2 each, reactor: 70 L, water flow: 320 L/min, T10 = 0.95

QNet in micro-infection investigation & problem solving
-
Feb 2009 Le Quang Hai - VBL Technological Controller 127
Setting up a QNet
Only setting up a QNet when reoccurrence of micro-infection is high and daily solution does not give sustainable improvement
Steps to build up QNet and investigation of micro-infection
Identifying process flow and machine boundary (the closed product source of supply) related to the detection point of product micro-infection normally P&I is used
Identifying all product inflows, outflows to external extents of the machine boundary P&I and/or site check
Identifying all product internal flows in machine boundary P&I and site check
Identifying, marking all machine components in the boundary and defining their functions
Defining possible soil sources of soil and soil characteristics on each machine component
Defining possible sources of micro-infection, if necessary extra detection point is installed, at each machine component
Hygiene and CILT audit on site to check for compliance at least 3 times at different moment. The more auditing times, the more problem is found because of more
opportunities to catch abnormally
Restoring basic conditions according to Hygiene requirements

Setting up a QNet (cont)
Steps to build up QNet and investigation of micro-infection (cont)
Defining reverse clockwise activities of a full cycle (repeat activity) and flow routes of each product flow machine component.
Check generation points (of soil, infection according to above identification), detection point and control points of all cycles. Make correction or improvement
Check if the micro-infection is eliminated
If not, repeat the same steps to the upstream (inflow) process flow/machine boundary and downstream (outflow) process flow / machine boundary
Defining also the reverse clockwise activities of new process flows/machines, sources of soil/contamination, generation point, detection point and control point. Make correction or
improvement
Update new control point and condition in QM for training, monitoring
