Downtime Reduced by 50%
A biomass power station in the South of England required a rapid response following a mechanical failure on the site. Tenacious deposits needed removing prior to asset integrity inspection.
The Challenge
- Mechanical failure had caused oil on shell side to mix with water on tube side.
- Fast cleaning was required to identify failure locations and maximise performance.
Solution
- Tube Tech International mobilised within 48 hours
- Innovative U-Tube MicroFlex cleaning system was used to unblock tubes.
Client Comment
