You could find the CIP cart unit,it is the equipment used for cleaning the tanks.
About the fluid:water,sodium hydroxide,Hydrogen peroxide.All these could be got in your local.
Here i give some explain for the fermenter tanks cleaning process
1.Examine:checking that whether the fermenter tanks pipe,valve,pressure gage,temperature gage,glycol water unit,oxygen supply etc. could work normally or not.If there is no something wrong,the brewmaster could prepare for next step work.
2.Washing(Connecting the CIP cart hose to the fermenter CIP arm port)
The first step:Washing by water Use tap water to flush / wash the fermenter by intermittent way for 15 minutes before feeding.
The second step:Washing by sodium hydroxide
When the residual water is absolutely drained out, then use the sodium hydroxide of 50 - 80 ℃, 5% concentration for circle cleaning for 20 minutes ( it should be timely supplemented when the concentration of the concentrated base is decreasing). After circulation, begin to recycle the alkali liquid.
The Third step:Washing with water
After the residual lye is absolutely drained out, flush / wash the fermenter with tap water
by intermittent way for 15 minutes. Take same way as the step 1)
The fourth step:Washing with Hydrogen peroxide
After the residual water is absolutely drained out, then use the hydrogen peroxide ( 300 - 400 PPm )for circle cleaning for 20 minutes. Take same way as the step(5). After the residual Hydrogen peroxide is absolutely drained out, close the relief valve, material in- outlet valve and racking port (beer outlet) valve.
