Ultra-Sonic Cleaning

Cleaning of heat exchangers is painstaking, risky, and expensive task if not performed by experts. Plant equipment can be cleaned with a combination of ultra-high-pressure water jetting, persistence and labour. However, the thicker the polymer deposits become, the longer and more difficult they take to clear using traditional methods. The importance of regular, routine cleaning and maintenance can be made more efficient using Ultrasonic cleaning methods.

Furthermore, conventional high pressure cleaning can use in excess of 20,000 Gal (76,000 litres) of water per exchanger and this waste water requires treatment. Ultrasonic cleaning reduces the disposal waste and time of high pressure cleaning by 50% and also reduces the risk to those performing the task.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Technology

Ultrasonic cleaning particularly with thickness mode ultrasonic transducers provides a much more efficient way to clean heat exchangers. Sound wave implosions, called cavitation separates the contaminant from the surface without damaging a component. Warco Industrial expertly applies patented technology to achieve unparalleled results.

  • Effectively removes all forms of hydrocarbon contamination and refinery-grade by-products compared to conventional cleaning processes. 
  • Cleans components and equipment once deemed NFG. 
  • Extending exchanger service and reducing cleaning cycles. Cleaner surfaces + Increased flow rates = Greater utilization.
  • Harm to the environment and water usage with ultrasonic cleaning is greatly reduced. 
  • Ultrasonic cleaning reduces risk of damage to people and equipment compared to high pressure cleaning method alone.

High Pressure Cleaning

When cleaning heat exchangers and other process equipment, it is important to remove all deposits and sediment, taking surfaces back to bare metal. This process requires ultra-high pressure and poses significant risk to workers and equipment. Failure to remove all fouling will not deliver the benefits of this effort reduce the return on investment. Warco Industrial has the right people, processes, and tools to execute high pressure cleaning, whether it is on-site or off-site at our purpose built facility. Our high-pressure operators receive industry recognized training and meet the requirement of Water Jet Technology Association (WJTA)- Best Practices for the Use of High-Pressure Water Jetting Equipment Standards. We work with equipment manufacturers to build customized tooling and equipment.
