201/01/13 5/ 5.0 CLEANING When all liquid has been drained from the line, including all pockets or low points, connect the line to the outlet of the instrument air compressor, with air dryers by-passed, and blowout the line with instrument air. Vent the discharge at a location where no possibility of hazard to personnel exists. Continue this process until air discharging from the line contains no more moisture than at the compressor discharge. Blow-out the lines in sequence from the largest to the smallest. 6.0 APPENDICES Appendix A: Branch Connections
