Multiple studies have pointed to possible contamination from pumps, non-Molybdenum frame outgassing within a hot zone, gas purity issues, and cross-contamination between furnace runs. The traditional approach to mitigating these effects is using niobium furnace caps, high-temperature furnace burnout runs, and expensive pump replacements. We will show multiple examples of a novel approach to increasing Q₀ and Q₀+E_{acc}, using a simple treatment after a furnace treatment or doping + light EP. We will also outline the possible workflows using this new technique in production.}}, }
