Heat exchanger cleaning

Problem

Fouled heat exchangers reduce heat transfer, increase pressure drop and force compressors or pumps to work harder. In severe cases, production capacity is lost.

What we do

We clean shell-and-tube and plate heat exchangers on-site or off-site using chemical circulation, high-pressure water flushing and mechanical methods when needed. We choose the safest approach for your equipment metallurgy and deposit type.

What you get

Restored thermal performance, reduced energy use, longer run lengths between overhauls, and reliable operation of critical cooling or heating circuits.

Methods

Visual inspection and deposit sampling.
Selection of acid, alkaline or surfactant cleaning chemistry.
Circulation cleaning with controlled temperature and time.
High-pressure rinsing and passivation.
Performance verification after start-up.
