1. PREFACE:
Pre- Commissioning cleaning (Alkali flushing & Acid cleaning) of 1,3 Butadiene pipe lines
loop 1 at IMC LIMITED, APM TERMINALS, PIPAVA PORT GUJARAT. The objectives of the
process are to remove Rust, Oil & Grease, and other impurities. The complete process is carried
out as per approved procedure by M/s. IMC LIMITED, & M/s. ARUDRA ENGINEERS PVT LTD.
The Detergent flushing process was carried with coronil-100. This was followed by acid
cleaning carried with coronil-92B and CITRIC ACID, and passivation was done by SODIUM
NITRATE and TSP. The entire system cleaning was carried out as per the following steps;
Cold water Flushing
Hot water Flushing.
Detergent Flushing
Soft water flushing
Inhibited Acid cleaning
Mild citric rinsing and passivation.
