A method of oxidation-combusting an ingot grower comprises a) blocking between the filter housing and the exhaust pipe, b) forming the filter housing in a vacuum state, and c) injecting air into the filter housing through an injection pipe connected to a first side of the filter housing to combust the filter housing.

A method and a cleaning device for removing deposits in interiors of tanks and systems by explosion technology. The cleaning device, an explosive, gaseous mixture is provided and caused to explode in order to clean the interior. The explosion pressure wave is conducted into the interior via an outlet opening in the cleaning device. The explosive mixture or gaseous components thereof are introduced into an accommodating chamber of the cleaning device from pressure vessels at high velocity.

An apparatus for removing at least one coating from a lengthwise section of an optical fiber includes a heater extending at least partially around and at least partially defining an elongate heating region configured for receiving the lengthwise section of the optical fiber. The heater can heat the heating region to a temperature above the thermal decomposition temperature of the at least one coating. A controller automatically deactivates the heater after removal of the at least one coating from the lengthwise section of the optical fiber in the heating region. Thereafter, an air mover can cause ambient air to cool the heater.

A cleaning device for removing deposits in receptacles by way of blasting technology includes a cleaning lance with a grip-side and with a cleaning-side end section, on which a flexible container envelope forming a receiving space can be attached. The cleaning lance includes a feed tube with a container connection device that is arranged on the cleaning-side end section and is for feeding the explosive mixture or its starting components, to the container envelope, as well as a protective tube with a receiving space for a container envelope for the propose of shielding the container envelope to the outside. The protective tube is displaceably arranged along the longitudinal axis of the cleaning lance relative to the feed tube from a first position, in which the container envelope is shielded by the protective tube, into a second position in which the container envelope projects out through the protective tube.

The disclosure relates to the cleaning of oilfield tools made of metal, particularly to the method of reclamation oilfield tools, already used in the mechanical deep-pumping extraction of oil, as well as to the product made with the help of the mentioned method. The method of remanufacturing of standard length rods includes cleaning the rod with at least one cryogen to eliminate environmental contamination and to assist in workplace safety.

Disclosed are a composite cleaning process and a composite cleaning system used for performing the composite cleaning process. The composite cleaning system comprises a carrier, a laser cleaning device, and a gas or liquid cleaning device. The carrier is used to carry at least one object, and the object has at least one to-be-cleaned target located on a to-be-cleaned area of the object. A composite cleaning step of the composite cleaning process comprises using the laser cleaning device to perform a laser reactive cleaning step on the to-be-cleaned area of the object and using the gas or liquid cleaning device to perform a gas or liquid reactive cleaning step on the to-be-cleaned area of the object. Thereby, either the laser reactive cleaning step or the gas or liquid reactive cleaning step is assisted by the other to improve a cleaning effect of the to-be-cleaned target.
