Offline Cleaning Solution Enhances Petrochemical Heater Efficiency Despite Complex Configuration
A Texas-based international petrochemical company needed a more efficient way to clean its heater during a planned turnaround. The deposits that accumulate naturally during the cracking process reduce efficiency and pose environmental and safety concerns even in small amounts. Neutrol® delivered fast, reliable results despite the operation’s complex heater configuration.
Where It Works
The Neutrol process can be used on all refinery heaters and industrial boilers, including:
- Heaters: Convection, radiation and air pre-heaters
- Boilers: Evaporators, superheaters and economizers
How It Works
Before beginning our offline process, CTP Environment’s experts create a completely sealed tarp to prevent leakage on the refractory fiber. The surface of the tubes is then sprayed with a liquid chemical and water mix, which neutralizes acidic ashes and dissolves hard scale made of vanado-sodic and hydrocarbon deposits. A final rinse ensures the tube surfaces are fully neutralized and restored to design condition.
