I think there is various ways to clean tube bundles. Chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning, hydrojetting and others. For some tube bundles, integrated approach, chemical cleaning followed by mechanical cleaning are common to ensure the efffectiveness of the cleaning works. Some procedure also call for an elaborated cleaning procedure, degreasing, pre-pickling works, flushing and post pickling works, neutralization and passivation.
Usually for fixed tube bundles, the shell side of the tube cannot be cleaned using hydrojetting approach since we cannot remove the tube bundle by bundle puller. So we have to do chemical cleaning for the shell side.
I hope these information is useful to you. Thanks.
Thanks for the information
