Additives in bottle washing - analysis and implications
Dosing and effects of surfactants in bottle washing agents are oftentimes not sufficiently well known in commercial operations. Surfactants are contained in additives for cleaning caustics. In this paper, tests are described for determining the effect of residual surfactants on surface tension and foam stability.
part from effectiveness, economics also play an important role in bottle washing; one wants to reduce not only energy but also water consumption to a minimum. This can be achieved only through addition of active cleaning agents. Additives thus have an important role to play in cleaning caustic for bottle washing.
Many operators of bottle washing plants know practically nothing about dosing of surfactants and their effects on quality of the cleaning process..
