The use of dry ice cleaning can improve the environmental friendliness and efficiency of repair and maintenance service of industrial equipment in the petrochemical industry. Dry ice cleaning is similar to sandblasting, but uses carbon dioxide in the form of solid particles as a consumable cleaning material. Soft and non-abrasive dry ice particles do not

damage the surface, so it can be used for cleaning precision components and equipment, such as electronics, mechanical transmissions, hard-to-reach components, seals, where cleaning with water, abrasives or chemicals is not allowed.

Using cryogenic blasting, you can perform:

cleaning of all power equipment (stator and rotor of turbogenerators, blades and diaphragms of the low-pressure steam turbine unit, live electrical panel components, transformer housing and insulators, gas and air cooler grids, surfaces of collapsible plate heat exchangers) directly in the shop, without chemicals and water, with the effect of degreasing, without damage;

cleaning of production equipment (conveyors, molds, molds, robots, furnaces, walls, floor and ceiling of the room) that is constantly polluted with dust and product residues;

The accumulation of dirt, soot, fat and oil deposits on production lines and equipment can cause the equipment to malfunction and cause the line to stop. Manual, hydrodynamic, abrasive and chemical cleaning are used as rarely as possible to reduce the number of planned downtime of production lines, which lead to loss of revenue for the enterprise. Dry ice jet cleaning provides a fast, safe, non-toxic and cost-effective solution for cleaning industrial equipment, machinery, machine tools and assembly equipment conveyor belts, welding and painting robots, and even manufactured products.

Professionals in the field of power generation know,  that the maximum performance can be achieved by clean equipment. However, the requirement for minimal downtime leads to an increase in the period between repairs and maintenance service. Dry ice cleaning provides a reliable, fire, electrical and environmental saving cleaning process, that can be used even without cooling, without complete or partial dismantling of the equipment, being cleaned directly in the shop. Contamination of the running parts of gas and steam turbines, windings of electric generators, insulators of transformers leads to a drop in efficiency and a decrease in electricity generation. In addition, the downtime normally required for cleaning can be reduced by up to 65%.
