Remove biofilm and organic deposits before they affect hygiene, flow, foam, or beer quality.

02 · DEPOSIT ENGINEERING

Mineral Scale and Organic Film

Beer Stone is mineral scale, while organic film can accelerate its attachment.

Cleaner surface

Lower attachment tendency and slower deposit buildup.

Fouled surface

Organic film creates a rough layer that supports mineral attachment.

Aqueous ozone controls organic fouling but does not dissolve mineral Beer Stone.

BES Draft Beer Line Engineering Standard

These criteria support system engineering and do not replace brewery procedures, local food-safety requirements, or commissioning validation.

Nominal dissolved ozone design target: 0.5 ppm

This is a configurable BES simulation target, not a universal legal sanitation standard. Actual concentration depends on water quality, temperature, flow, pressure, material, organic demand, and installation conditions.

09 · RECOMMENDATION

Final BES Recommendation

OPTIMIZED

WDS3000X is suitable for the selected cleaning configuration. Clean the 4 beer lines individually at 120 LPH total flow. The modeled 10-minute ozone phase provides 140.3 active-line volume replacements and uses approximately 81.7 liters per event. Estimated EOG life is 28.8 years (346 months) at the selected frequency. Commissioning must verify dissolved ozone at the faucet, material compatibility, full drainage, and keg isolation. Continue visual inspection and periodic acid descaling when Beer Stone is present, and follow brewery, local food-safety, and equipment-manufacturer procedures.

TECHNICAL FAQ

Draft Beer Cleaning Questions

Does ozone dissolve Beer Stone?

No. Calcium oxalate Beer Stone requires condition-based inspection and may require acid descaling. Ozone supports control of the organic film that can encourage attachment.

Can WDS3000X be connected directly to the beer line?

Only through a dedicated cleaning-water adapter during Cleaning Mode. It must never inject ozone water into beer intended for consumption.

Can beer remain connected during cleaning?

No. The keg must be disconnected or positively isolated before the cleaning-water valve opens.

Is aqueous ozone a complete replacement for caustic or acid cleaning?

Not universally. It can support routine organic-fouling control, while periodic chemistry may remain necessary under brewery and equipment procedures.

How often should the line be cleaned?

Use brewery, manufacturer, local food-safety, and site hygiene requirements. The simulator estimates water and EOG use for the selected schedule.

Why is flow important?

Flow determines WDS3000X operating compatibility, velocity, hydraulic replacement, modeled concentration, and the number of concurrent lines.

How is dissolved ozone verified?

Measure at the faucet or point of use with a suitable dissolved-ozone method during commissioning.

Does ORP confirm ozone concentration?

No. ORP is influenced by water chemistry and should not be used alone as proof of dissolved ozone concentration.

How long will the WDS3000X EOG last?

The model uses 1,000 operating hours divided by actual calculated ozone-cleaning runtime. Field operating patterns may differ.

Can multiple beer taps be cleaned at the same time?

Yes, when total flow remains within the WDS3000X range and the manifold provides complete, balanced flow paths to an open drain.
