During meeting for planning operations for scale removal and scale inhibitor squeeze treatment in wells, the possibility of the manifold being partially incrusted with scale raised considering the more critical mixture of water produced. The proposed solution is a method of treatment for removing scale from a manifold. Said method uses the geothermal heating of the exploration reservoir to heat a chemical removal solution (50). Heating is required to ensure the temperature is in a range that is also suitable for conducting the removal reaction, since the distance that the solution travels to the manifold (20) e the low temperature of the underwater environment make the reaction occur inefficiently, as in the case of pre-salt.

A cleaning method for a heat exchanger is a cleaning method for a heat exchanger which includes a header passage and a plurality of internal passages connected to the header passage, that includes: a step of supplying a cleaning fluid, via the header passage, to some of the plurality of internal passages connected to the header passage, selectively.

A Clean-In-Place (CIP) control surveillance system has all streams forward and return monitored and accounted for, where values for each step may be stored in a data base. The CIP system used to clean one or more objects includes a primary tank for primary cleaning media, optionally a secondary tank for secondary cleaning media, a supply of freshwater, one or more forward lines, one or more return lines returning liquid, and valves directing the flow through tanks and pipes of the CIP Process Plant. The system further includes a sensors and transmitters measuring concentration in the forward line and return line and transmitting a value for the concentration to a controller, a sensor and transmitter measuring volume or mass flow in the forward line and return line, and a controller or computer configured to compare in and out values for a period.

A device for cleaning items comprises an enclosure defining a wash chamber, a rotor positioned within the wash chamber and selectively rotatable about an axle, a motor for selectively rotating the axle, a dispenser, and a drain. The rotor comprises a plurality of holders spaced about the axle and adapted to selectively receive and hold a respective item to be cleaned. The dispenser at least one liquid input and at least one liquid output and is positioned such that the at least one liquid output directs cleaning fluid at one of the items to clean material out of the cavities. The drain is for draining the cleaning fluid out of the chamber. The rotor is selectively rotatable at a predefined rotational speed for a predefined amount of time to expel cleaning fluid from the cavities of each item to be cleaned.

A machine for cleaning regeneration chambers of furnaces, the regeneration chambers having stacks of hollow refractory elements delimiting vertical passages, which define chimneys includes a self-propelled support structure to be introduced into a compartment, below the regeneration chamber to be cleaned, which communicates with the regeneration chamber. The machine further includes at least one lance, applied to the self-propelled support structure and configured to send within the vertical passages a stream of cleaning material powder and compressed air generated by a compressor positioned outside of the regeneration chamber to be cleaned, and at least one suction mouth, applied to said support structure and configured to suck cleaning material dust and aspirable materials from the ground, which were removed during the cleaning operation.
