What to do if NaCl crystals clog the pipes during a saline water overhaul? ? ? ---What’s the degree of crystallization? Can you send a picture to show it? Are there any ways to prevent it in advance? ? ? ——This is a process-related issue; it can be prevented by reducing the saltwater concentration or ensuring the proper temperature of the saltwater. How to deal with pipes that have already crystallized? ? ? ? ------Unblock.
Our company has salt water pipelines: with a concentration of around 25%； But in Guangdong, we might not have the same situation as you ； But we have relevant handling standards: if there is a blockage, steam purging can be tried ； Prevention method: Blow out the pipeline after parking, then wash it with water ；
Transport the brine within its saturated solubility limit. If it is in a supersaturated state, it is necessary to control the flow rate and pipe slope properly to prevent the pipes from becoming clogged. More flanges should be added to the pipes to facilitate maintenance. Add more water to flush the pipes for future use. If the blockage can only be cleared, start by rinsing it with water; if that doesn’t work, it will have to be disassembled.
Early prevention can be achieved by reducing the concentration； High-pressure flushing can be used for pipeline crystallization
Use steam for purging; the steam condensate can dissolve it. It is more reliable to purge all pipes containing liquid
