Cleaning training in the food industry
Mastering cleaning processes in the food industry
Although CIP processes represent a strategic, even vital, issue, washing practices are often approached in an empirical manner with limited knowledge of the chemistry of washes, the stakes, and the impacts.
However, mastering the science of washing allows for the improvement of the skills necessary to carry out actions aimed at enhancing industrial performance and environmental indicators (extraction of natural resources in water and energy, CO2 and COD emissions, impacts on spreading soils, compliance with standards).
The industrial cleaning training we offer will provide you with the essential technical knowledge to understand the key principles of cleaning, through numerous case studies. This training will also enable you to grasp the ways to optimize existing washing practices and the associated challenges.

MOOC training on cleaning in the agri-food industry: Clean In Place (CIP process), washer or other cleaning tools
This MOOC was created by Olivier BARRAULT, in collaboration with Coop de France, to provide access in just a few minutes to the key elements for understanding the practice of washing in industry agri-food. This is a good starting point to address our training in this field.
