HRSG DRY ICE CLEANING MICHIGAN

Contaminant build up and debri on a Michigan heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) can be detrimental to the cost,  efficiency, and general performance. HRSG’s are large heat exchangers that recover extreme heat from hot gas streams and create steam that can be utilized to power a steam turbine. In addition, they can be used in several commercial and industrial applications. They come small or large, with some measuring as large as 80' tall and 40'wide.

As time goes on and years pass these HRSG’s accumulate debris and contaminants on their fins, which are utilized to conduct heat. Even in tiny amounts, the contamination resists the transfer of heat through the fins, resulting in a loss of efficiency. Also, if the contamination builds up to a certain amount and plugs the airflow, it could even restrict the flow of gas across the fins, which is an essential part of the entire process. When the control unit senses back pressure it slows the turbine, resulting is more efficiency lost. To avoid this type of loss, Michigan plant owners call upon highly trained experts like Strength H2O Industrial Solutions to thoroughly clean the contaminants through Michigan Dry Ice Blast cleaning. resulting in boosted efficiency. Most important, many have speculated that for every ½ inch of pressure drop, a Michigan plant owner can save $100,000. This is why it is very crucial to keep HRSG’s contaminant free.

Michigan dry ice blasting is a proven cleaning method for HRSG’s for several reasons. Taking all factors into consideration, dry ice cleaning is definitely the best solution. High pressure water blasting, and soda blasting create a ton of secondary waste, which contributes to the amount of waste. Also, with water blasting, if not contained properly, the water carrying contaminates may flow down into drains or into the ground. The expenses for residual cleanup of both water blasting and soda blasting add to the overall cost and time of the process.
