Heat Exchanger Tube Cleaning

Problem:

Heat exchanger systems lose efficiency when deposits build up in, and on, tube bundles. High-pressure water jetting cleans both I.D. and O.D. very effectively, but manual methods clean a limited area at a time and expose operators to strain and risk.

Solution:

NLB has developed a number of efficient, automated, and semi-automated cleaning equipment solutions from the ATL-5022 bundle cleaning system for large bundles to the ShellJet™ exterior shellside cleaning options. For other applications, NLB has partnered with industry-leading tube/tube bundle cleaning equipment manufacturer Peinemann Equipment and technology leader, Terydon, an innovator in the development of Universal Wireless Control product Lunchbox™ featuring Smart Indexer™ automated hole location technology. Effective cleaning while keeping operators out of the blast area.

Advantages:

• Less downtime (quickly back in action, longer between cleanings)
• Extremely thorough cleaning, inside and out
• Systems matched to user needs (pressure, flow, tube length)
• Very operator-friendly
