Cleaning Components, Equipment, and Systems for Oxygen Service

  • Chapter
Handbook of Compressed Gases

Abstract

The cleaning methods described in this chapter are intended for cleaning components, equipment, and systems used in the production, storage, distribution, and use of liquid and gaseous oxygen. Some examples of these (illustrative of the primary intent of this chapter’s coverage) are: stationary storage tanks, tank trucks, and tank cars; pressure vessels such as heat exchangers and rectification columns; and associated piping, valves, and instrumentation. The cleaning methods also may be utilized in cleaning other oxygen service equipment such as cylinders, cylinder valves, regulators, welding torches, pipelines, compressors, and pumps.
