Alpacon Multi CIP II
New and improved non-acidic concentrated cleaning agent for separators

Concept
The Alfa Laval Alpacon Multi CIP II is a concentrated cleaning
agent designed for use in Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) systems
for Alfa Laval high-speed separators used to treat fuel oil and
lube oil in the marine and diesel industries.

Once blended with water, Alpacon Multi CIP II is ready for use.
It primarily cleans the bowl discs, but also cleans the oil inlet
and outlet. Keeping the separator disc stack clean contributes
to high separation efficiency and thereby secures the supply of
clean oil to the engine, which in turn minimizes wear.

Moreover, CIP reduces crew man-hours, reduces wear and
damage due to assembly and disassembly and protects
against scratches on the bowl discs, which can result from
manual cleaning with improper tools. Scratched bowl discs
require more frequent cleaning due to the adherence of
particles to the disc surface.

Features and benefits
• Reduced operation and maintenance costs
The Alfa Laval Alpacon Multi CIP II reduces operating

and maintenance costs by ensuring optimal separation
performance .

• Lower transportation and storage costs
Highly concentrated, Alpacon Multi CIP II has no trans-
portation restrictions. One CIP cycle requires less than
half the amount of comparable cleaning agents to achieve
superior cleaning efficiency. It therefore is lighter in weight
to transport and takes up less storage space onboard.
One five-litre container is sufficient for up to five CIP
cycles, making it the most concentrated, cost-effective
CIP formula  available today.

• Biodegradable with minimal environmental impact
Readily biodegradable, Alpacon Multi CIP II has minimal

environmental impact.

• No foaming or emulsion formation
Alpacon Multi CIP does not cause foaming during the CIP
process, so it easier and less messy to use than com-
parable cleaning agents. Moreover, once used, it does
not contribute to emulsion formation or have any negative
impact on downstream sludge and bilge processes.

The Alfa Laval Alpacon Multi CIP II cleaning agent provides superior
cleaning of Alfa Laval high-speed separators used to treat marine and
diesel fuel oil and lube oil.

• Superior cleaning efficiency
Alpacon Multi CIP II provides superior cleaning efficiency
at lower temperatures than comparable cleaning agents.
There is no need to pre-heat the system before starting
the CIP cycle, thereby saving cleaning time for all Alfa Laval
separators. However, it is especially important for the
Alfa Laval S-separator, which has a lower CIP temperature
than comparable separators.

• Non-corrosive
Alpacon Multi CIP II is a safe, non-acidic cleaning agent.
It does not cause corrosion on any metallic materials and
does not have any negative impact on the sealing materials
used in Alfa Laval separators.

• Global support from a leading supplier
The Alfa Laval global service network provides fast access
to spare parts and equipment, expert service and technical
support. Ship owners and ship management companies
are able to rely on technical support, harbour support in
most major ports, onboard service and genuine spare
parts all available at short notice.

Note: Alpacon MULTI CIP II is an Alfa Laval OEM product, which has under-
gone rigorous testing in order to safeguard cleaning performance, minimize
environmental impact and ensure that the product has no harmful effects on the
separator . Use of a non-OEM CIP cleaning agent may cause corrosion, reduce the
lifetime of the separator seals and negatively impact separation performance.

Instructions for CIP use
• The recommended cleaning temperature is between 50°

and 90°C.

• Mixing ratios depend on the separator size and type and
are listed on the Alpacon Multi CIP II plastic container.
• Approximately two hours are required for a typical CIP

cycle; however, three hours may be required for a heavily
soiled disc stack.

• Refer to the Alfa Laval CIP unit manual for a detailed
description of the CIP procedure. Contact your local
Alfa Laval representative to obtain a copy of the manual.

Other uses
• General mixing ratio for purposes other than CIP is one

part Alpacon Multi CIP II to 20 parts water.

• If used for manual cleaning of lube oil and fuel oil bowl
parts, the use of soft tools is recommended to prevent
scratches on the bowl surface.

• May be used in series for simultaneous CIP of Alfa Laval

pre-heaters during CIP of the separator.
