Abstract
A fluoride ion cleaning system includes a retort for cleaning at least one component via a working fluid supplied to the retort, a post-retort subsystem for processing a post-retort fluid stream exiting the retort at a first temperature, and a scrubber downstream from the post-retort subsystem. The post-retort subsystem includes a separator in flow communication with the retort. The separator includes an inlet for receiving the post-retort fluid stream from the retort and an outlet for the post-retort fluid stream exiting the separator. The post-retort subsystem also includes a cooling device for selectively cooling the post-retort fluid stream to a second temperature, the second temperature being lower than the first temperature. The second temperature enables particulate to be separated from the post-retort fluid stream within the separator.
