What is the best method for cleaning hydrogen scrubbers?
Thread Content
Our factory has started maintenance work now. How can I clean the scale inside the hydrogen scrubber? Can I use salt and acid to clean it? The scrubber tower is 1600*1419*10. Please help check it, everyone
It is best to hire a professional cleaning company to do it, so that in case of any problems, the cleaning company will be held responsible. If cleaning it oneself, acids can also be used; the key is to control the concentration and to add corrosion and scale inhibition agents, in order to prevent equipment corrosion caused by high salt and acid concentrations, as the material used in hydrogen scrubbers is usually steel.
It is recommended to hire a professional cleaning company; physical cleaning using a high-pressure water gun is generally an option. Acid cleaning is not advised as it may cause problems with the equipment and its subsequent use
When in normal operation, the hydrogen scrubber will not develop scale if washed with pure water, or adding acid regularly yields good results
