The term “oil flushing” is used extensively in the process heating industry to refer to the cleaning of pipes and process equipment. Typical applications use immersion or circulation heaters that heat oil for circulating through the system to a desirable Reynolds number. Viscosity and temperature play critical roles in such conventional oil flushing. In many process applications, conventional oil flushing is not suitable to achieve the desired cleanliness. Additional actions are needed to increase the cleanliness level. In addition, a lucrative benefit exists when oil flushing is done for a live system. The customer does not need to shut down the process system. This saves valuable time and, thus, money. All these techniques, however, use immersion or circulation oil heaters for heating the oil (See Figure below.) to the desired temperature.
