Steam blowing is a process used in various industries, particularly in power generation and petrochemical plants, to clean and remove debris from newly constructed or modified steam systems. It involves the controlled release of high-velocity steam through the piping system to dislodge and remove any impurities, construction debris, welding slag, rust, and other contaminants that may be present in the steam lines or equipment.
The steam blowing process is typically carried out during the commissioning phase of a power plant.
