Default Getting steamed up...

the oil industry can take care of itself

have happened in the first place.

Not possible to have steam at those conditions. Steam has to be at
more than 1000 F to reach such pressures. If you pressurize steam to
3000 psi it will condense unless very hot. The liquid in question will
begin flash into steam as it leaves the sprayer tip. It might not be
properly called steam cleaning, but I admit that is a nitpick.

In my experience, steam cleaning uses just steam.

I suspect they used a steam jenny.
