A cleaning apparatus using a gas-mixed liquid includes a first inlet port into which a liquid supplied from the outside is introduced, a second inlet port into which a gas to be mixed with the liquid introduced from the first inlet port is introduced, a mixing chamber in which the liquid introduced from the first inlet port and the gas introduced from the second inlet port are mixed with each other, and an outlet port through which the liquid mixed with the gas in the mixing chamber is discharged. According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently remove slime such as scale generated in a variety of industrial conduits in which liquids flow, and germs, etc. deposited in various conduits.

An apparatus for removing a blockage in a solids injection lance extending into a direct smelting vessel The solids injection lance has a single inlet coupled to a section of supply line that conveys gas and solids to the solids injection lance and that is upstream and co-axial with the solids injection lance. The apparatus has a tool that extends through the supply line section and the solids injection lance to remove a blockage of solid material and an assembly for advancing the tool through the solids injection lance and the supply line section to the blockage from an upstream side of the blockage.

The present disclosure discloses a faucet device with a self-cleaning function, comprising: a faucet mechanism, a control mechanism, a self-cleaning mechanism, and a beverage inlet passage. The beverage inlet passage is configured to be in communication with a beverage source, the faucet mechanism comprises a first passage configured to be in communication with a water source and a second passage configured to be in communication with a beverage source, and the control mechanism is connected to an inlet of the second passage, the beverage inlet passage, and the self-cleaning mechanism to control the beverage inlet passage to supply a beverage supplied by the beverage source to the second passage or to enable the second passage to be cleaned by the self-cleaning mechanism.

Valve and related assemblies, systems, and methods may include a self-cleaning feature that may be configured to at least partially displace material from a portion of the valve. Such valves may be utilized in a pressure exchanger.

A cleaning system comprising: (a) one or more pumps; (b) one or more foamers; and (c) one or more cleaning reservoirs including one or more cleaning solutions; wherein the one or more foamers combine a fluid and the cleaning solution to form a foamed solution so that the solution is introduced into a system to be cleaned.

A cleaning system and process for cleaning a medical system comprising at least one air source at least one cleaning solution source at least one rinsing solution source and at least one switch for switching between the at least one air source, the at least one cleaning solution source, and said at least one rinsing solution source. The process is configured to selectively provide the cleaning solution from the cleaning solution source, selectively provide the rinsing solution source, and selectively providing the air pressure to purge the lines of a medical/dental system.

A chemical liquid supply system includes a chemical liquid tank including an inlet allowing a chemical fluid to be introduced therethrough, an opening allowing the chemical liquid introduced through the inlet to be temporarily stored, and an outlet allowing the chemical liquid stored in the opening to flow out therethrough, a chemical liquid circulation apparatus including a supply flow path supplying the chemical liquid to the inlet and a recovery flow path resupplying the chemical liquid collected from the outlet to the supply flow path, a chemical liquid supply source supplying the chemical liquid to the supply flow path of the chemical liquid circulation apparatus, and a chemical liquid dispensing apparatus configured to move to the opening and draw the chemical liquid from the opening, move to a substrate to be treated and discharge the chemical liquid onto the substrate.

Included are methods and systems for recycling a gas emitted from non-aqueous cleaning. An example method includes contacting a contaminated equipment with a non-aqueous cleaning material; wherein the spent non-aqueous cleaning material emits the gas. The method further comprises capturing the emitted gas, filtering the emitted gas, and recycling the emitted gas into the non-aqueous cleaning material.

A self-contained system is provided for cleaning a food flow path in a food processor. The system can be operably engaged without requiring disassembly and reassembly of the food processor or can be operably engaged after a partial disassembly of the food processor. The system includes a control assembly for directing passage of a solution through the food processor without requiring constant operator oversight. The system can employ available positive pressure water supply, such as public utility water pressure to selectively and automatically push solutions, including rinses, backwards or forwards through a food flow path in the food processor, though typically countercurrent to the normal processing food flow. A manifold assembly includes an intake manifold and a distribution manifold, with an induction port and/or access port in the distribution manifold for introducing additives or agents into a controlled motive stream passing through the manifold assembly.

A hand-held drain cleaning apparatus which includes a control housing comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, and a cartridge housing having a length. The cartridge housing is releasably attached to the control housing, and the length can be manually adjusted based upon a size of a selected compressed gas cartridge disposed therein.
