Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided whereby a component can be cleaned while the furnace is operational. Additionally, particulates that have accumulated on the component can be collected and retained. The apparatus may include a portable frame, a tubular lance supported by the frame and having a nozzle at a distal end thereof, and a suction generator operatively connected to a proximal end of the lance to generate a suction at the nozzle. Manipulation of the lance to move the nozzle across a component allows accumulated particulates to be removed therefrom through the lance.
