(1) Where o i l , grease, carbon, or other organic compounds are present, these must be removed
during cleaning.
(2) Soda ash (Na2C03) degreasing is a m i l d treatment used where contamination is primarily
(3) Caustic degreasing (NaOH) is the treatment used for all new equipment, and where mill scale
is present.
(4) Permanganate (KMn04) degreasing is used where organic contamination is heavy (> 25%)
and carbonized.
Inhibited hydrochloric acid is a most widely used acid since it produces good solubility with a
wide variety of scales, is economic, and is easy to handle. It exhibits good corrosion
characteristics when correctly inhibited and the process is controlled within the accepted
li m it s .
Citric acid is compatible with alloy steels, requiring low chloride contents and presents good
aggressive in its attack of some iron oxide scales and therefore usually requires higher
(II) Rust removal, neutralization and passivation can be carried out using a single solution,
thereby considerably reducing cleaning time by eliminating the need to drain, flush,
(1) Following acid cleaning, it is essential that the equipment be thoroughly neutralized. This is either
achieved by neutralization alone, usually with 0 . 5 % sodium carbonate, or during the passivation
(2) The select i o n of passivation treatment is so m eti m es governed by the selection of the acid. W here
c i t r ic acid process has been used, t hese are extended to effect neutralization and passivation by a
nitrite/phosphate treatment.

7. Procedure
It is necessary to c l e an some new equipment initially before they are put into service. Cleaning is
- Mechanical Cleaning.
- H o t Alkaline Treatment.
- A c i d C l e a n i n g and Neutralization.
- Passivation.
- Flushing.
- Drying and/or l n e rt i n g .
For some equipment it may not be necessary to use all of the above steps since the degree of
contamination and the equipment configuration will vary from unit to unit.
This is to mechanically remove, using power brushes or reamers as much of the rust, scale, and
HPWJ can be used alone or to supplement the chemical cleaning to remove the rust or deposits if
access is a v a i l a b l e .
This i s used to chemically remove mill scale, mineral deposits and corrosion products.
Neutralization is used to neutralize acids and passivation to form a strongly adherent protective oxide

( 18) Determine the v o l u m e of the equipment by fil l i n g water and d ra i n i n g it through a flow meter installed in the
drain.
(19) Ensure that the chemical cleaning contractor is on-site with m i x i n g tanks, chemicals, flow meter, corrosion
monitoring equipment, pH and temperature probes, and pumping equipment to blend fill and circulate
chemicals.
(20) Flush the equipment with water until it runs clear to remove all loose and soluble materials.
(21) Use commercial grade quality for all chemicals except where austenitic materials are present in the

(22) Install at least one corrosion probe in the circulating loop for on-line monitoring and control of the corrosion
rates.
(23) Flow restriction such as orifices and probes must be removed to obtain optimum velocities during cleaning.
All equipment removed shall be tagged and inventoried for later reinstallation into his proper location.
(24) Warning tags should be installed on components which are isolated from the piping during chemical
cleaning.
Log Sheets of cleaning operations are maintained by Subcontractor to record temperatures, pressures,
time and date of cleaning process, chemical additions, and results of chemical cleaning analysis.
(1) Keep operational and tested, permanent or temporary eye wash fountains and safety showers
within 1 5 meters and accessible in 1 0 to 1 5 seconds of the work site, prior to commencement of
chemical cleaning.
(2) Keep connected to an operable water supply, hoses adjacent to the equipment and systems b e i n g
