Method and composition for pulse dose cleaning of process streams

A method of cleaning structural components of a processing facility, the method comprising using pulse dosing to administer a cleaning formulation into a fluid process stream flowing through structural components of a processing facility using pulse dosing, wherein:

• the processing facility is an ethanol processing plant, a protein processing plant, a corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and protein processing plant, an ethanol and corn oil processing plant, or an ethanol, corn oil and protein processing plant;
• the fluid process stream comprises (i) corn, corn-derived products, or a combination thereof, or (ii) a process condensate, rinse fluid, or combination thereof;
• pulse dosing comprises administering the cleaning formulation into the fluid process stream for a period of xseconds every y minutes, with no administration of the cleaning formulation between the periods of xseconds;
• x and y independently are from 1 to 150;
• and
• an amount of the cleaning formulation is administered into the fluid process stream to provide a concentration of 10 ppm to 50,000 ppm of the cleaning formulation in the fluid process stream during the period of xseconds.
