This presentation shows some examples of the results with thermal cleaning on heat exchangers.

1. THERMAL HEAT EXCHANGER
CLEANING

2. THERMAL CLEANING MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO CLEAN EVERYWHERE!
INSIDE THE TUBES AROUND THE TUBES BETWEEN THE TUBES & THE SHELL INSIDE TUBES WITH STATIC
MIXERS
LOW OXYGEN THERMAL CLEANING

3. CLEANING STEPS
BEFORE THERMAL CLEANING AFTER THERMAL CLEANING +/- 1 HOUR HP CLEANING FINAL RESULT
LOW OXYGEN THERMAL CLEANING

4. U-BUNDLE
EXAMPLES OF THERMAL CLEANING

5. Dust particles after the
thermal removal of a
cokes layer coming
from a cracking unit.

6. After conventional
cleaning the weight
was 15.645 kg.
After thermal cleaning
the weight was 14.505
kg.
So removed by thermal
cleaning:
1.140 kg.

7. These bundles where already
cleaned by HP technology and
declared clean!
Before thermal cleaning:
6.228 kg.
After thermal cleaning & rinsing:
6.065 kg.
Conclusion:
Thermal cleaning removed another
163 kg after being declared clean!
LOW OXYGEN THERMAL CLEANING

8. These bundles where also cleaned by
HP technology and declared clean!
The removal of the remaining residue
has led to significantly longer running
times and energy savings!
LOW OXYGEN THERMAL CLEANING

9. DIFFERENT TYPES
STRAIGHT BUNDLES

10. DIFFERENT TYPES
WITH FIXED HOUSINGS

11. DIFFERENT TYPES
WITH FIXED STATIC MIXERS

12. DIFFERENT TYPES
SPIRAL HEAT EXCHANGER

13. DIFFERENT TYPES
COMPABLOCS

14. DIFFERENT TYPES
WITH TWISTED TUBES

15. EXAMPLES BEFORE & AFTER

16. WHAT CAN BE CLEANED?
SOME EXAMPLES
• Heat exchangers with pollution in & or between the tubes;
• Heat exchangers with fixed housings & pollution between tubes & shell;
• Compablocs, heat exchangers plates, spiral heat exchangers;
• Vane decks, demisters, mellow packs;
• Pipe work (also with static mixers);
• Extruder screws & parts;
• Polymer & refinery pumps;
• Flame arrestors, sieve packs, valves;
• Filters, spin packs, die plates, hot runners…
