SURFSWEEP CLW3060 Pipeline Cleaner

Water soluble cleaner for natural gas pipelines

Application
The Baker Hughes SURFSWEEP CLW3060
pipeline cleaner is an anionic, water soluble
surfactant designed to penetrate and dissolve
organic deposits in natural gas pipelines. It is
an excellent choice for areas where oil soluble
cleaning agents cannot be used. This product
leaves solids and metal surfaces water wet,
allowing the solids to be easily removed from
the system during normal pipeline pig runs.
SURFSWEEP CLW3060 pipeline cleaner works
well in the removal of deposits caused by
organic compounds, iron sulfide, salt, mineral
scales and sulfur.
SURFSWEEP CLW3060 pipeline cleaner
should be applied to the pipeline by batch
treatment during pig runs. Typical treatment
rates are 0.25 to 0.50 gallons of this product
/ diameter inch / pipeline mile.

the appropriate treatment and equipment, and
design a comprehensive application program.
