The Economic Impact Of Better Heat Exchanger Cleaning On An Oil Refinery – Theoretical, Expected And Actual Results
B.N. Kieser, R. Tomotaki, J. Loyola-Fuentes, E. Diaz-Bejarano and F. Coletti
Ultrasonic cleaning of heat exchangers has been in use since at least 2009. As a cleaning method, it has been shown to provide superior results over traditional hydroblasting techniques, offering better and faster cleaning, with improved safety and a drastic reduction in water use.
From Practice-To-Theory-To-Practice: Advances in the Cleaning of Heat Exchangers Using Ultrasound
B. Kieser, A. Goode and R. Philion
The cleaning of heat exchangers, and other large process equipment, using large-scale ultrasonic systems has, in the past few years, progressed from a “curiosity” to a proven, practical tool for many clients.
Ultrasonic Cleaning of Badly Fouled Compabloc Exchangers
R. Philion, B. Kieser and T. McCartney
This paper describes the use of ultrasonic technologies to clean badly fouled Alfa Laval Compabloc® 106 heat exchangers - which could not be effectively cleaned by conventional methods.
Application of Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide for the Removal of Iron Polysulfide Deposits
T.R. McCartney and R. Shank
Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent that could be used for the effective removal of the iron sulfide species.
Understanding the Value of Cleaning - Gains From the Use of Ultrasonic Cleaning of Large Industrial Equipment
C. H. Schulz and B. Kieser
We present the results of a study to determine the efficacy of large-scale ultrasonic cleaning of heat exchangers at Braskem.
The Effective Removal of FeCO3 Deposits From Critical Process Heat Exchangers Used in Ammonia Production Using a Proprietary Ultrasonic Chemical Cleaning Method
R. Philion and T.R. McCartney
This paper examines the problem of ferrous carbonate fouling and removal in lean-rich Diethanol amine exchangers at the CO2 extraction plants associated with ammonia manufacturing.
The Application of Industrial Scale Ultrasonic Cleaning to Heat Exchangers
B. Kieser, R. Phillion and T. McCartney
The cleaning of fouled heat exchangers often presents a significant challenge to the maintenance and operation of chemical, petroleum and food processes.
