  2. Carbon dioxide cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_cleaning

    Carbon dioxide cleaning was contemplated in the 1930s, and the "pellet" approach was developed in the 1970s by E.E. Rice, C.H. Franklin, and C.C. Wong. [4]: 276 The introduction of CO 2 snow cleaning, with its ability to remove sub-micron-scale particles, is credited to Stuart Hoenig of the University of Arizona , who first published on the ...

  3. Soot blower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soot_blower

    Long Retractable Sootblower utilizing steam as a cleaning medium. A sootblower is a device for removing the soot that is deposited on the internal furnace tubes of a boiler during combustion to prevent plugging of the gas passes and maintain boiler efficiency. The world market leader is Clyde Bergemann Power Group. [citation needed] Types of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_foam

    Sea foam washed up or blown onto a beach. Sea foam, ocean foam, beach foam, or spume is a type of foam created by the agitation of seawater, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of dissolved organic matter (including proteins, lignins, and lipids) derived from sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms.

  5. Parts cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_cleaning

    Aqueous parts cleaning industrial washer. Parts cleaning is a step in various industrial processes, either as preparation for surface finishing or to safeguard delicate components. One such process, electroplating, is particularly sensitive to part cleanliness, as even thin layers of oil can hinder coating adhesion.

  6. Dust collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_collector

    Designed to handle high-volume dust loads, a dust collector system consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and a dust receptacle or dust removal system. It is distinguished from air purifiers , which use disposable filters to remove dust.

  7. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    A last secondary contribution to the piranha solution cleaning is its high acidity, which dissolves deposits such as metal oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates. However, since it is safer and easier to remove such deposits using milder acids, the solution is more typically used in situations where high acidity facilitates cleaning instead of ...

  8. Fouling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fouling

    Deposit on a surface does not always develop steadily with time. The following fouling scenarios can be distinguished, depending on the nature of the system and the local thermohydraulic conditions at the surface: Induction period - Sometimes, a near-nil fouling rate is observed when the surface is new or very clean. This is often observed in ...

  9. Ramsbottom carbon residue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsbottom_Carbon_Residue

    The Ramsbottom test is used to measure carbon residues of an oil. In brief, the carbon residue of a fuel is the tendency to form carbon deposits under high temperature conditions in an inert atmosphere. This is an important value for the crude oil refinery, and usually one of the measurements in a crude oil assay.
