Chemical Flushing
Flushing of pipelines are very essential where pressure is been applied to empty a pipeline using appropriate chemicals to suspend, disperse and remove accumulated materials. After this process, the pipelines are given a final flush with clean water and chemical inhibitors are added to protect the pipelines.
Chemical flushing is been used in many industries today to eliminate debris, oil, grease, rust, scale, slug, accumulated materials that could be found or formed in the pipelines. Accumulated materials or deposits are sometimes called fouling, which needs to be removed time to time to prevent damage and maintain efficiency of operation .ions and trench works.
During chemical flushing thin layer of the inner surface of the pipe wall will remove as well as all the unnecessary contamination. Chemical cleaning is mostly required compared to the oil flushing because, chemical flushing will reduce the oil flushing cost in term of flushing time and number of oil flushing materials use such filter elements.
