Do you mean decoking? As in removing hydrocarbon deposits.

Or dechoking / debottlenecking? As in generically increasing throughput of system?

One way is to pump hot solvents through the pipelines. Obviously the solvents must not attack the pipe material.

Phoning DynoRod (usual disclaimer) works very effectively in unwanted sewage back-up situations...
