Cleaning large systems effectively is critical to many applications within industrial manufacturing. Establishment of a system's hold-up volume and the target concentration of residual contaminant after cleaning do not fully define a cleaning method, however. Assuming a cleaning method that repeats the same flush volume until the system has reached its target contaminant level, viable cleaning schemes will differ in how many flushes of the volume used to reach that target. By creating a graph showing "Flush volume" as a function of "Number of flushes needed" with editable table variables of "System hold-up volume" and "End contaminant level" in slider boxes, the user can visualize many different scenarios in many different systems before selecting the scheme that best fits their varied needs.
