The process is done by retaining a firm that specializes in on-site pickling and passivating, Ajay. To start from no knowledge of this process and get to the point of being able to do it yourself with due attention to safety and environmental stewardship requires hands-on training. You cannot learn enough from an internet posting to do anything but put yourself and your co-workers at risk. Sorry.
