Features of the SACIVA System
The SACIVA system is an automatic system designed for heating and cleaning ISO tanks using steam. The equipment automatically carries out the heating process of the ISO tank without the need for operator supervision. Vaporization of the ISO tank occurs after the tank has been cleaned with high-pressure water.
The equipment is fully manufactured in stainless steel.
Standard configuration of 180 kW (240 kg/h), with the capacity to heat two ISO tanks simultaneously.
The installation includes a condensate recovery tank, temperature probe, time and temperature control (PLC), and a vaporization lance.
The modular system is composed of 3 boilers, each equipped with double resistances with a power of 30 kW.
The utilization process of the SACIVA system
- Positioning of the isotank in the heating area.
- Placing a temperature probe in contact with the product in the designated opening of the isotank.
- Activating the steam generator.
- Connecting the steam supply and condensate return hoses.
- Timed opening of the steam solenoid valve.
- Heating of the container
- The solenoid valve will automatically close once the set temperature is reached, and the process will be completed.
- Audible and visual signals will indicate the end of the heating process.
Cleaning process.
Once the isotank has been cleaned with high-pressure water, vapor can be applied inside. The operation will be carried out by positioning a fixed lance and programming the required time for the operation. This operation will be performed on a single isotank.
Other considerations
The equipment will incorporate the necessary programming to protect both the installation and the content of the isotank in case of temperature probe failure, as well as oversights or omissions in its placement by the operator The entire process will be controlled through a display screen installed on the steam generator.

FAQs
We understand that many questions may arise. Here are some of the most common ones.
There are no emissions other than those produced in the electricity production process. Therefore, they can be neutral depending on the electricity mix. Electric steam boilers are indeed the present and the future.
Absolutely. It is even recommended for achieving maximum efficiency. There is no problem with remote control as long as current regulations are followed.
A steam generator is a pressure vessel that, along with the connected pipe network, is subject to regulatory control and complementary technical instructions, as stated in the regulations published in Royal Decree 809/2021, dated September 21st. The maintenance of an electric steam generator is divided into a part that can be easily carried out by the owner:
- Familiarize yourself with and apply the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use, safety measures, and maintenance.
- Do not put the installation into service or prevent the operation of pressure equipment if they do not meet the requirements of the regulations.
- Maintain at least the following documentation of the pressure equipment while they are installed: Declaration of Conformity, if applicable, manufacturer’s instructions, and, if necessary, installation certificate, along with other supporting documentation (such as Installation Project, record of the last periodic inspection, certifications of equipment repairs or modifications, as well as any other documentation required by the corresponding complementary technical instruction (ITC) of this regulation). For detailed information, please refer to Annex IV of the regulation. This documentation must be made available to the competent authority of the autonomous community and to the companies responsible for maintenance, repair, or periodic inspections.
- Use pressure equipment within the operating limits specified by the manufacturer, and withdraw them from service if they no longer meet the necessary safety requirements.
- Perform maintenance on the installations, pressure equipment, safety accessories, and control devices in accordance with the operating conditions and manufacturer’s instructions, and examine them at least once a year.
- Arrange for the necessary periodic inspections as stipulated in Article 6 of the regulation
- Maintain an up-to-date record of pressure equipment belonging to categories I to IV, as defined in RD 709/2015, dated July 24th, or equipment deemed equivalent to these categories according to Article 3.2 of the regulation, as well as their installations.
It is known that by applying heat to water, it transforms into steam at its boiling point under atmospheric pressure. From there, depending on the desired level of steam saturation for its proper application, we may need to increase the pressure in order to achieve higher temperature. To change the temperature and saturation level of steam, it is indeed necessary to modify the pressure.
It is a unit of pressure equivalent to 1 kg/cm2, 0.98 atmospheres, or 14.50 PSI
