Systems and methods for cleaning dairy facilities

A method of cleaning a dairy facility comprising the steps of:

• defining first and second zones of the dairy facility;
• providing a process system for processing waste water to obtain processed water;
• spraying rinse water in the first zone of the dairy facility, where the rinse water becomes waste rinse water after the rinse water has been sprayed in the first zone of the dairy facility;
• spraying the processed water in the second zone of the dairy facility, where the processed water becomes waste processed water after the processed water has been sprayed in the second zone of the dairy facility;
• collecting the waste rinse water and the waste processed water to form the waste water;
• and
• directing the waste water to the process system.

A cleaning system for a dairy facility comprising:

• a rinse system comprising a rinse sprayer;
• a flush system comprising
• a process system for processing waste water to obtain processed water comprising a process tank and a baffle member, where
• an inlet portion of the process system is arranged on a first side of the baffle member,
• a flush outlet portion of the process system is arranged on a second side of the baffle member;
• and
• a waste outlet portion is arranged below the baffle member, the inlet portion, and the flush outlet portion,
• a collection system connected between the dairy facility and the inlet portion of the process system, and
• a flush sprayer connected to the flush outlet portion of the process system;
• whereby
• the rinse sprayer sprays rinse water in a first zone of the dairy facility, where the rinse water becomes waste rinse water after the rinse water has been sprayed in the first zone of the dairy facility;
• the flush sprayer sprays the processed water in a second zone of the dairy facility, where the processed water becomes waste processed water after the processed water has been sprayed in the second zone of the dairy facility;
• the collection system collects the waste rinse water and the waste processed water to form the waste water and directs the waste water to the process system.
