Energy is in critical demand across Europe and production managers in personal care manufacturing facilities are facing rising pressures to find ways to maintain their current production levels, while also lowering the demand for energy within their plants.

As savvy production managers look for smart ways to reduce energy consumption, there’s one often-overlooked area that holds huge opportunities: changing how process equipment is cleaned and disinfected.

 


Consider this. A change from thermal to chemical disinfection can eliminate the thermal energy required to disinfect. How can you do it?


First, use a disinfectant that is effective at ambient temperature. This eliminates the energy needed to heat water to a temperature needed to disinfect, or generate steam.
