6. BRIEF EXPLANATION OF INDIVIDUAL CLEANING METHOD
Many kinds of methods exist for pipe cleaning. The following, however will be taken into
consideration for this project. Cleaning method described in this section cover all typical ones.
Therefore, some of these methods may not be applicable for this project.
Rev. No. : 0
6.1 Temporary strainers shall be used as follows

After cleaning of piping, the temporary strainers with 40 mesh generally up to 200 mesh in the
particular case shall be installed and cleaning performed until no foreign material comes to the
strainer.
The temporary strainers shall be installed at pump suction piping, upstream of control valve and
other location specified in specific Job Requirements.
Mark plate shall be attached to the temporary strainers to distinguish from other strainers. After
constant period of initial operation, temporary strainer shall be removed and changed to
permanent one.
6.2 Cleaning using kinetic energy of fluid gas and flow
Fluid has a defined kinetic energy when it flows inside System. All of the following methods
utilize kinetic energy to expel foreign materials.
Where instruments are included in piping system to be cleaned the instruments shall be
blocked or disconnected due to the potential damage and spool pipe (distance piece) shall
be inserted instead.
6.2.1 Water Flushing
This method is used in pipe cleaning and is usually applied to pipes where liquid flow during
normal operation. Kinetic energy generated by pump or obtained by gravity with pre-filled
water with proper volume is used to flush foreign materials from pipes or collect them in
filters/strainers for removal.
Water must be air blown out of system to avoid damage to pipe or contamination of process.
As a rule, pure water, service water, steam condensate industrial water, etc. shall be
applied and sea water shall not be applied. If using of sea water is unavoidable, washing by
fresh water shall be carried out at least on time to prevent corrosion after using of sea water.
In any case, sea water shall not be used for cleaning of austenitic, stainless steel.
Water cleaning shall be performed by the method of pressurized water running.
After cleaning, drying by compressed air or natural drying shall be carried out. Drying by
superheated steam shall be carried out with agreement between LCI and EPC contractor.
The cleaning shall be performed for each assembled piping by water cleaning Package that
will be provided by EPC contractor with marked-up P&ID.
When cleaning is carried out in condition where control valve is connected, the procedure
shall be as follows
(1) Disconnect companion flange in upstream side of the control valve and cover
Rev. No. : 0
openings of the control valve.

(2) Clean the piping of upstream side.
(3) Connect the control valve and piping of upstream side after completion of
cleaning.
(4) Close the control valve, open by-pass valve, and then clean the piping of
downstream side. Where the by-pass valve is not installed, the temporary
strainer having austenitic stainless steel screen of No. 50 specified in ASTM E11
shall be inserted.
6.2.2 Air Blowing
As in the case of water flushing above, air blowing is widely used for pipe cleaning. Oil and
moisture-free air is used in volumes equal to or greater than system being blown to reach a
velocity to remove all debris.
Air blowing shall be performed by the method of blowing with the pressurized air.
Hammering shall not be performed for austenitic stainless steel, copper and aluminum pipe
due to deformation possibility.
The cleaning shall be performed for each assembled piping by air blowing Package that will
be provided by EPC contractor with marked-up P&ID.
The instruments are blocked, isolated or removed generally due to potential damage during
air blowing.
6.2.3 Steam Blowing
The objective of steam blowing and air blowing are basically the same, the characteristic of
steam need to be taken into consideration when used as a blowing medium. Steam Blowing
is applied to the cleaning of steam pipes.
A considerable benefit of steam-blowing is the ability to alternate the temperature to cause
expansion and contraction of the pipe thus “cracking” off loose mill scale and welding slag
which is then removed by blowing. This is especially beneficial on supply lines to steam
driven equipment.
Generally, the method would be applied for steam generation system and suction of steam
turbine system
Steam blowing shall be performed after completion of pressure test. All pipe support shall
be installed to prevent accident caused by the reaction force. In general, following items are
required during the cleaning.
(1) Removal or opening of steam trap, vent and drain.

(2) Warming up for piping (To be blown gradually with cooperation by operator)
(3) Checking for expansion joints, spring hangers, etc. caused by thermal expansion.
Rev. No. : 0
(4) Steam blowing temperature (Blowing shall be performed at the temperature near
to the operating temperature considering operating condition of boiler.)
(5) Cooling down(To remove the scale effectively by temperature change, it is
required to perform blowing and cooling cyclically, having temperature difference
as large as possible between blowing and cooling period.
Judgment on result of steam blowing shall be generally be done by checking of the foreign
material present in the drain sampled.
6.2.4 Oil Flushing
Oil flushing is applied to cleaning of lube oil and seal oil lines for rotating machines. Foreign
materials and debris (rust, weld slag) are caught and removed by filters installed in oil
flushing loop.
Steam or Air blowing may be conducted as pre-cleaning before installation of the piping,
then, lube oil flushing will be conducted after installation.
The procedure shall be as follows

(1) The flushing shall be performed by the method of circulation of the oil hammering.
(2) Oil used shall have the good quality, and be suitable for the machinery, and shall
be completely replaced with the specified oil after cleaning.
After completion of cleaning, piping system shall be checked that no foreign matters are
present in temporary strainer having screen of No. 200 specified in ASTM E-11 for oil
pipings of centrifugal compressor, and in temporary strainer having a screen of No. 100
specified in ASTM E-11 for other oil pipings. In general, above criteria shall be followed, but
if vendor has a vendor standard for cleaning inspection, follow the vendor standard first.
6.3 Chemical Cleaning
This method utilizes chemical reactions to remove rust, mill scale, oil and grease etc. from pipe
and equipment surfaces.
6.3.1 Degreasing (Alkaline cleaning)
Degreasing with an Alkaline solution such as Sodium Carbonate / Soda Ash (Na2CO3)
results in the removal of grease and oils from the piping. This method is applied for
example to prevent foaming in amine service.
6.3.2 Acid Wash, Rinse & Passivate
Acids are used to remove ionic deposits such as rust and mill scale from piping and
equipment. After acid washing, the piping is rinsed and passivated to protect the metal from
corrosion.
Rev. No. : 0
This method will be applied for Cooling Water System, but depending on passivation
method selected by chemical supplier.
When specified in specific job requirements, acid cleaning shall be applied to lube oil piping
system of rotating machinery.
As a rule, acid cleaning by pickling shall be applied and the procedure shall be as follows
(1) 10% hydrochloric acid solution or 10% sulfuric acid solution with temperature 30
through 40 ℃ shall be used, and piping shall be pickled in the acid solution for 1
to 6 hour.
(2) After pickling, the piping shall be washed sufficiently to remove the acid solution
by water.
(3) And the piping shall be rinsed out the acid solution for neutralization by sodium
hydroxide solution and followed by water flushing.
(4) The piping shall be well dried by superheated
(5) Steam or dry air and the inside of pipes given a coat of the oil of the same quality
as specified oil to be used in the oil piping.
6.4 Mechanical Cleaning
This cleaning is done by rubbing or wiping the pipe surface by hand or special tools/mediums.
6.4.1 Manual Cleaning
Pipes are manually cleaned by workers inside pipes. This method is applied to the cleaning
of large-diameter pipes (20 inches or larger), to which it appears difficult to apply other
cleaning methods.
6.4.2 Blast Cleaning
This cleaning is done by impact which is caused by particles of sand and Iron is blown off
with air, it is classified into following 3 types,
▪ Sand Blast : Done by sand with air
▪ Shot Blast : Done by cast iron with air
▪ Grid Blast : Done by angular iron particle with air
6.4.3 Pig Cleaning
Pig cleaning is applied to the cleaning of long-distance pipelines or the cleaning of

interconnecting lines between plants. Various foam densities and coatings including
Rev. No. : 0
brushes are used to clean the piping inner wall.
6.5 High Pressure Water Jet Cleaning
This method involves using high pressure water against the surface to remove surface
contaminants and loose particles. A hose is inserted into the piping with a high pressure nozzle
that rotates to clean the inside diameter of the pipe.
High pressure water jet cleaning is applied for steam services as alternative of steam blowing
due to delay in Utility start-up that leads to delay in steam availability. The scope of water jet
cleaning might be extended to the steam services in Process inside if steam availability for
blowing is delayed.
6.6 Clean Build Method
The philosophy of Clean Build method is to keep the cleanliness prepared at shop fabrication
stage until operation by the exhaustive cleanliness management.
This method will be applied to the pipings;
▪ Which size is too big to achieve the target cleanliness by the cleaning using kinetic energy of
fluid and gas flow
▪ Where the cleaning is difficult after installation of piping due to piping layout, configuration etc.

Cleaning procedure No. 9. Solvent cleaning for rust and mill scale removal (Pickling)
Carbon Steel Pipe only
This procedure covers the removal of adherent rust and mill scale to leave bare metal in
piping system after assembly and erection of carbon steel pipe.
2.2 Procedure 7. Alkaline detergent wash for oil and grease removal.
3. Materials*
Six percent hydrochloric acid containing 0.25% ammonium bifluoride inhibited with 2 ㎤/㎥.
Armohib 28, Rhodine 213 or equivalent approved by LCI.
* Inorganic acids such as phosphoric, nitric, and sulfuric acids are also widely used to remove
rust and scale. These acids are highly toxic and require special handling. Organic acids such
as citric, formic, hydroxy-acetic and sulfamic acid are gaining more popularity because of their
relatively less toxic properties.
When acids are used for cleaning, they must be inhibited to reduce their corrosive action on
the base metals. Various inhibitors are commercially available. The most familiar inhibitors are
Rodine inhibitors made by Amchem Products. When inhibitors are added to the cleaning
solutions, the rate of corrosion drops to as little as 5.0 grams/㎡ per 24 hours.
