    CDU overhead wash water injection quill plugging

    To restart water washing, with your device, maybe let´s say, within 24 hours, is to improvise a paralel device, by doing hot tap, while waiting a better oportunity to shut down the unit.

    CDU overhead wash water injection quill plugging

    Yeh! Amonium chloride is the strongest possibility, I don´t see a way to unplugg it on line. Water wash is normaly done in air cooler boxes sections trough 2 inch lines. I think you have to ponder a modification control in your CDU overhead wash water injection.

    Pigging, elbows vs bends, procurement

    At your working pressure I would go for elbows, instead of hot bending. Hot bending put some problems of ovalizing and extrition (loss of thickness) wich is bad for pigging services.

    Noise calculation during steam blowing

    In addition to what Pierreick said, your security service must take appropriate measures to prevent potential accidents, in the vicinity of the unit subjected to blowing, with delimitation of the area and warnings of possible hazards.

    Pickling and Passivation for SS weld joints

    Passivation is used in austenitic to create an homogeneous oxide layer to prevent air exposition corrosion. Soaping the surface of welds with nitric or citric acid creates a very thin layer of oxid and dissolves free iron from surface, wich seems to be benefecial for the SS.
