IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR THE DECOMPOSITION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

摘要

A method and apparatus for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, partic ularly for use as a hydrocarbon well bore and pipeline cleaning and maintena nce aid. The apparatus includes a decomposition engine having an inlet manif old extending centrally within the housing and having means for passage of h ydrogen peroxide through the manifold wall through a catalyst stack. The dec omposition products produced are directed through an exit venturi. The decom position products are passed through a piping system which allow the selecti ve venting or introduction of the products into a facility to be cleared. Co ntrol means are coupled to the engine and valving to allow for the selective adjustment of temperature and or pressure of the decomposition products, as well as the introduction and diversion of the blend into the facility.
