Whey evaporators are used to concentrate whey, the liquid byproduct left after milk is curdled and strained during cheese production. Acid washes help keep this equipment clean by removing mineral scale, neutralizing alkaline residues, and restoring surface finish. With a goal of reducing their acid concentration, one Hydrite customer conducted a soil load mapping (SLM™) analysis, identifying cleaning chemistry savings of >4,500 gallons and >$13,000. With that chemistry savings, the customer is able to reduce one bulk delivery per year! Maximize optimization and minimize risk with SLM™ 🔗 https://ow.ly/RBHM50X3Lth
