Abstract

See full text

A method of cleaning a pipeline that may include the steps of pumping a process fluid through a flameless heating unit, preheating the process fluid before it enters a dynamic heat generator, controlling the flameless heating unit to heat the process fluid to a temperature in a range sufficient to melt deposits disposed in the pipeline, and transferring the process fluid from the flameless heating unit into the pipeline. Other steps may include using the heated process fluid to operate a tool operatively disposed in the pipeline, whereby the heated process fluid and the tool work collectively to melt and clear the deposits. The flameless heating unit may include an internal combustion engine, a dynamic heat generator operatively connected to the internal combustion engine, and a pump configured to provide a discharged fluid to the dynamic heat generator.
