Zusammenfassung:Disclosed therein are the methods of cleaning an automated recirculation system or equipment and using the waste effluent produced therefrom for use without the need to reduce the conductivity of such waste effluent prior to use. The method comprises cleaning the automated recirculation system or equipment with a cleaning solution having a conductivity of up to 8 mS/cm at 25° C., and generating a waste effluent. The waste effluent may be used as irrigation water without reducing conductivity of the waste effluent prior to irrigation use. Suitable automated recirculation systems or equipment may be those used in the processing operation of a processed food, dairy, brewing, or beverage. The automated recirculation system may be a clean-in-place (CIP) system.
