Service Highlights
Chemco Products Company’s Blast‑In‑Place (BIP) service applies Ultra High‑Pressure (UHP) hydro‑blasting, ranging from 5,000 to 42,000 PSI, to safely and efficiently remove fouling, scale, and hardened solids using only water—no chemicals or abrasives. For milk powder production facilities, BIP is ideally suited for cleaning evaporator tubes, heat exchangers, boilers, condensers, and cooling systems where burn‑on, mineral scale, and solids buildup negatively impact heat transfer and dryer efficiency. This non‑chemical, high‑precision approach helps restore thermal performance, reduce energy consumption, and minimize downtime without introducing residue or contamination risks, making BIP a reliable solution for maintaining consistent performance and operational efficiency across critical milk powder processing assets.
Dairy processing facilities face increasing regulatory pressure to reduce electrical conductivity (EC) in wastewater discharge, particularly from CIP operations that rely heavily on caustic and chlorinated chemistries. The Chemco EC Reduction Program is designed to help dairy plants lower EC loading in effluent by approximately 30–50% by replacing or enhancing traditional alkaline and acid cleaners with specially formulated, low-EC contributing additives and detergents. Products such as Monsoon ECR, Thunder ECR, Triumph ECR, and Membrane Cleaner ECR improve soil removal, wetting, and suspension at lower use concentrations, enabling effective cleaning with reduced caustic strength, shorter CIP cycles, and lower operating temperatures. When used as directed, these products contribute minimal EC to wastewater streams, helping dairy facilities maintain cleaning performance while supporting wastewater compliance, sustainability goals, and municipal discharge limits.
Chemco’s Rapid Response Team provides on demand access to senior technical expertise to help dairy processing facilities maintain compliance, audit readiness, and operational control. This dedicated team of experienced managers focuses on FSMA aligned food safety programs, PMO expectations, and regulatory driven sanitation performance, supporting plants during audits, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
