A method for removing coke deposits from carbonhydriddampførende wires.

摘要

Coke deposited in hydrocarbon vapor conduits as the result of hydrocarbon cracking operations is removed from the conduits without interrupting the cracking operation by periodically contacting the coke deposit with a jet of relatively cold high pressure water. The water is jetted against the coke deposit and in an amount sufficient to thermally shock and break up the coke deposit at a pressure in excess of about 5,000 psig.
