Cause of cleaning

Cleaning in the chemical industry, due to many reasons, heat exchanger equipment and pipeline lines will produce a lot of such as coking, oil fouling, scale, sediments, corrosion products, polymers, and other dirt.

These fouling will cause equipment and pipeline failure, plant system production will decline, energy consumption, material consumption and other undesirable conditions, fouling corrosion is particularly serious will also cause process interruption, plant system forced to shut down, resulting in a variety of direct economic losses, and even the possibility of malignant production accidents.

In today's scientific development, it is almost impossible to completely avoid fouling, so the cleaning of heat exchangers and other equipment has become an indispensable part of industrial production, especially in petrochemical and thermal power plant production.

The meaning of cleaning

(1) Improving the appearance of the equipment, purifying and beautifying the environment, removing the dirt on the inner and outer surfaces of factories, buildings and means of transport, and returning the original appearance can achieve the purpose of improving the appearance and purifying the environment.

(2) Maintaining normal production, prolonging equipment life, removing dirt from raw material surface can maintain the surface properties of materials, and ensure the implementation of follow-up production processes. Cleaning up the dirt of production equipment regularly or irregularly can maintain the normal operation of equipment, control the corrosion of equipment, prolong the service life and operation cycle.

(3) Improving production capacity, improving product quality and removing small contaminants from raw material surface can maintain good post-processing performance and improve product quality. Regular cleaning of equipment can maintain its due production capacity and reduce the impact of dirt on product performance.

(4) To reduce energy consumption and production costs industrial cleaning can reduce costs in addition to reducing the consumption of raw materials and energy, improve production efficiency to reduce production costs.

(5) reducing production accidents is beneficial to human health. Cleaning dirt can reduce accidents caused by production process and equipment, as well as environmental and personal damage. Cleaning, sterilization, disinfection and elimination of radioactive pollution are beneficial to human health.
