NA-06 - Cleaning: Flushing Methods

Surge flushing

Surge flushing – Effective range

The effective range of surge flushing can be several hundred meters depending on the local conditions and the desired cleaning effect [Frühl1910].

Under favourable conditions, as in a straight section of the line with insignificant ponding, flushing lengths of more than 1,000 m can be achieved [Dettm2004a].
