Cleaning tools for cleaning the pull cable of an ingot puller apparatus and methods for cleaning the pull cable are disclosed. The cleaning tool includes a chamber for receiving the pull cable. Pressurized fluid is discharged through one or more nozzles to detach debris from the pull cable. The fluid and debris are collected in an exhaust plenum of the cleaning tool and are expelled through an exhaust tube. The cleaning tool includes one or more guides that guide the cleaning tool in an upper segment of the ingot puller apparatus.

Processes for shutting down a hydroprocessing reactor and for removing catalyst from the reactor may comprise shutting off hydrocarbon feed to the reactor, stripping hydrocarbons from the catalyst, cooling the reactor to a first threshold reactor temperature, purging the reactor with N.sub.2 gas, introducing water into the reactor, and dumping the catalyst from the reactor, wherein the first threshold reactor temperature may be substantially greater than 200 F. In an embodiment, the water may be introduced into the reactor via a quench gas distribution system when the reactor is at a second threshold reactor temperature not greater than 200 F. to cool the reactor to a third threshold reactor temperature not greater than 120 F.

Disclosed herein are container cleaners having a container cleaner body extending between a first end and a second end, the first end including a fluid inlet and the second end including a fluid outlet. A fluid pathway formed within the container cleaner body in communication with the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A dispensing head is disposed at the second end of the container cleaner body including one or more nozzles in communication with the fluid outlet. A brush includes a plurality of bristles disposed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the container cleaner body. A detergent reservoir is in communication with the fluid pathway of the container cleaner body.

According to one embodiment, a wafer storage container cleaning apparatus includes: a cleaning chamber accommodating a body of a wafer storage container, the body including a storage space storing semiconductor wafers and an opening of the storage space; a stage inside the cleaning chamber, having a placement surface for disposing the body thereon, and supporting the body by the placement surface; a cleaning liquid supply supplying a cleaning liquid to inner and outer sides of the body to clean the inner and outer sides; a first drainage receiver receiving drainage after cleaning the inner side of the body, and discharging the received drainage to outside; a second drainage receiver receiving drainage after cleaning the outer side of the body, and discharging the received drainage to outside; and an exhaust to exhaust the storage space formed by the inner side of the body.

A system for cleaning buckets includes a cleaning mixture dispenser that includes a source of flowing water interfaced to a foot-operated valve such that operation of the foot-operated valve causes water to flow mixed with a cleaning fluid for placement into the bucket. A washing station has a brush for abrading an inside surface of the bucket that is interfaced to a motor that is controlled by a foot-operated switch. A rinsing fountain for spraying water over the inside surface of the bucket is interfaced to the source of flowing water through a second foot-operated valve such that operation of the second foot-operated valve causes water to flow through a rinse fountain feed tube and out of the rinse fountain head through orifices in the rinse fountain head for spraying onto the inside surfaces of the bucket that is turned upside down over the rinse fountain head.
