Abstract (en)

The cleaning process involves filling the plant with demineralized water, checking seals, flushing with two system volumes of demineralized water, dosing a degreaser into the pump (1), heating to 50-80 deg. C, dosing in a cleaning fluid, checking iron concentration, expelling HF acids, restarting the circulation and raising the pH value to 10.0. A passive layer of hydrogen peroxide is then dosed in to form a passive layer on the metal until a positive Redox potential of more than 10 mV is reached. The system is then flushed out again.
