Riboflavin Testing of Sprayball Effectiveness

TISL are able to carry out on-site testing of sprayballs within your facility to ensure full coverage of all vessel internals. With many new and re-purposed vessels having commissioning manuals missing or incomplete, evidence of the effectiveness of the sprayballs at wetting surfaces is sometimes missing. TISL are able to provide trained personnel to carry you Riboflavin Testing with Ultraviolet (UV) Light inspection to quantify the effectiveness of your sprayballs. The riboflavin testing process goes as follows:

  1. Using spray equipment, the internals of the vessel are coated with a Riboflavin solution and observed under UV light. This provides a baseline to work from.
  2. The system CIP pumps are then used to spray, via the system sprayballs, for a set amount of time and flow rate/ pressure.
  3. The results are then observed under UV light with photographs taken for reporting. This process can be repeated at different flow rates, temperatures and for varied times to mimic the CIP process and ascertain optimal cleaning.
  4. The final report will include observed removal of Riboflavin, any areas of the vessel not contacted/ wetted during the process and the impact time and flow rate/ pressure on cleanliness. All of this process is achieved without vessel entry by personnel trained in working in GMP buildings.

Passivation

Our Passivation services allows you to restore corroded stainless still through the use of citric and nitric acid.

Degreasing

Degreasing of Components, Pipes, Fabrications and Systems is necessary to remove mineral oils, greases and debris adhered to product contact surfaces. This can stop the potential risk of explosion in pipes and oxygen service equipment.

Derouging/Pickling

When stainless steel develops iron oxide due to corrosion, it is known as rouge. This is unacceptable in many production environments and is removed by a process known as Derouging or Pickling. View our specialist Derouging service.

Biofilm Removal & Sanitisation

Our specialist team will decide on the ideal biocide for the conditions to execute this harsher treatment.

Chemical  Descaling

Chemical Descaling is necessary to remove water hardness scale or limescale from heat exchange equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, calorifiers, tube bundles, autoclave jackets, water systems and cooling towers.

Pre-commission Flushing

It is important for the operation of water systems after commissioning that they are cleaned and treated properly at pre-commission stage. TISL are able to offer flushing in accordance with BSRIA Guidelines throughout the UK and have experience of flushing systems up to 30m3 in volume.
