DESIGNING HYGIENIC DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 5 Essential Strategies to Prevent Contamination 1. Choosing the Right Design Solution Select trench, slot, or point drains based on the facility’s specific water discharge and cleaning needs Ensure fully welded joints and rounded edges to prevent bacterial harborage points Choose heavy-duty drain covers capable of withstanding equipment loads and traffic stress Size drains based on peak water usage, preventing backflow and pooling that can harbor bacteria 2. Drainage System Integration flush installation with coved Ensure edges to prevent debris accumulation and cleaning difficulties Separate drainage systems for raw, processed, and wastewater areas to avoid cross-contamination Maintain a 1-2% gradient towards drains to eliminate standing water and microbial growth Install non-return valves and air gaps to stop wastewater from contaminating clean areas 3. Sufficient Drainage Flow Capacity Perform flow modeling simulations to design an efficient drainage system Ensure proper air vents in drainpipes to maintain optimal flow rates Use gravity-assisted slopes to minimize stagnant water and microbial buildup regular drain performance Conduct checks to detect and resolve potential blockages 4. Wastewater Management Use grease traps, sediment filters, and strainers to prevent solid waste from entering drainage pipes Install pH, turbidity, and contamination sensors real-time water quality analysis for separation filtration and Implement technologies to enable reuse of process water Ensure proper neutralization and dilution of caustic cleaning agents before disposal 5. Cleaning Effectiveness Use rounded corners, seamless joints, and sloped channels to facilitate easy cleaning self-cleaning drainage Implement systems with CIP-compatible spray nozzles steam-based Utilize hot water or washdowns to remove fat, protein, and bacterial residues Apply disinfection in high-risk drainage areas sanitizing agents and UV OUR EXPERTISE PMG Engineering delivers end-to-end engineering design and project management services for the food manufacturing facilities globally We contribute to the successful development and implementation of Drainage and Sewage Our involvement ensures that the Drainage and Sewage Layout supports effective wastewater management, stormwater drainage, and sewage disposal while meeting regulatory requirements and contributing to the overall success PARTNER WITH PMG TO BUILD WORLD-CLASS FOOD FACTORIES THAT MEET GLOBAL STANDARDS ABOUT PMG BUILD WORLD CLASS FOOD FACTORIES At PMG, we offer complete solutions from design to commissioning, specializing in food factory construction that meets global standards.
