ON-LINE Dry Chemical Cleaning of Furnaces, Heaters, Boilers

“On-The-Run” Dry Chemical Cleaning

SENTRO TECHNOLOGIES USA, LLC specializes in furnaces, heaters and boilers chemical cleaning during normal operating conditions.

There is no need to shut down the equipment, production continues normally.

Cleaning process applied on external tube surface of both radiant and convection tubes (fire side).

We also dry-clean air pre-heating system, economizer, and other types of process equipment.

A Process of Chemistry & Physics

Cleaning is done by combination of mechanical effect and chemical effect – simultaneously.

The mechanical effect is non-aggressive abrasion over the tube surface, without damaging the surface, fins, or refractory.

The chemical effect is a neutralization reaction between alkaline SENTROMAX chemicals and the acidic scale, hot spots (usually sulfuric) and fouling deposits.

This innovative dry cleaning process is safe, environmental-friendly and cost effective.

We anticipate that the SENTROMAX On-Line Dry Chemical Cleaning of process furnaces, heaters, and boilers will deliver the following benefits and results:

Cleaning is performed On-Line during normal operating conditions of the unit, there is no need to shut it down.
Removal of scale and fouling from external tube surface, Radiant and Convection tubes, thereby increasing thermal efficiency (heat transfer). As a result, reducing operating energy consumption and increasing production rate.
No Scaffolding required.
No water, no water-treatment.
No dry-Ice (no thermal shock to tubes, especially to cast iron tube-supports)
No foam or soap (no caustic stress corrosion cracking)
No clean-up or disposal requirements
No harmful chemicals (no negative environmental impact)
No damage to tubes, fins, refractory, instrumentation.
No confined space entry

Major Benefits

Immediate increase of furnace or boiler thermal efficiency
Immediate increase of throughput / production
Energy saving by reduced fuel consumption
Reduced emission / pollution
Reduce temperature profile of the furnace or boiler (cell, bridge wall, stack)
Pre-shut down activity – saves time and costs
Saves maintenance activities (such as: scaffolding, sand blasting, water blasting etc..)

TOTAL THERMAL EFFICIENCY of the furnace can be increased by 4-12%

Our On-Line Cleaning Process is SAFE and Environmental Friendly:
