Real Specifications
| Dosatron D14T caustic CIP spec | 1-2% NaOH at 160-180°F — saponifies fats, hydrolyzes proteins | dosatron.md |
| Dosatron D14T failure mode addressed | Manual dilution drift when hot water meets hand-mixed chemistry: temperature, contact time, and mechanical action can all be correct while concentration still drifts | dosatron.md |
| ProMinent DULCODOS Ammonia design purpose | Dedicated ammonia-handling metering system built for low-odour/safe handling and vapour-system corrosion control; no numeric capacity published in this catalog | prominent-metering-pumps.md |
Dosatron's own D14T literature names the real failure mode directly: manual dilution drift, where temperature and contact time read correct but chemical concentration has already drifted — the reason automated proportional dosing is specified over hand-mixed batch chemistry.
Caustic dosing at the wrong concentration doesn't just underclean — Dosatron's own D14T literature quantifies caustic CIP at 1-2% NaOH and 160-180°F specifically because concentration drift is the real failure mode when hot water and hand-mixed chemistry meet, the reason automated proportional dosing beats a batch tank every time.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
