Pulse dosing is used to administer a cleaning formulation into a fluid process stream flowing through structural components of a processing facility. The fluid process stream may contain corn, corn-derived products, or a combination thereof, or the fluid process stream may contain a process condensate, a rinse fluid, a cleaning fluid or any combination thereof. The processing facility may be an ethanol processing plant, a protein processing plant, a corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and protein processing plant, or an ethanol, corn oil and protein processing plant. Pulse dosing may include administering the cleaning formulation into the fluid process stream for a period of x seconds every y minutes, with no administration of the cleaning formulation between the periods of x seconds.

The present disclosure provides a substrate processing apparatus capable of stabilizing the particle level when re-supplying a chemical solution. The substrate processing apparatus includes a circulation line connected to a chemical supply unit to circulate a chemical solution, a filter installed in the circulation line to filter particles in the chemical solution, a supply line connected to a first node of the circulation line and configured to supply the chemical solution to the chamber, and a drain line connected, in the circulation line, to a second node located between the filter and the first node, and configured to drain the chemical solution, the apparatus being configured to operate, during a first duration, from when a pump of the chemical supply unit is restarted after the pump had stopped, to drain the chemical solution that passes through the filter.

A device is provided that provides an unbiased filtration effect and an effect of removing captured substances through backwashing by causing a fluid to uniformly pass through a filter element over the entire length in an axial direction at the time of backwashing so as to efficiently rotate a captured-substance removal tool in a filtration unit 1 which includes the captured-substance removal tool 20 axially supported inside the tubular filter element 2 to be rotatable.
