Dry ice blasting is environmentally friendly and safe. Dry ice is CO2 (carbon dioxide). On impact the solid dry ice pellets sublimate into a gas. Having no liquid state there is nothing to carry pollutants into drainage systems or the ground. This makes containment of the material being removed much easier. It also keeps labor, transport and disposal costs to a minimum.
Imagine, no secondary waste stream. No additional abrasive blasting media, to contain, cleanup after and properly dispose of, no water to contain, test, treat and transport to a disposal facility. All of these are additional costs for the project's expense report.
Carbon dioxide is always in a gaseous state in the air around us. When we inhale our bodies use the oxygen and we emit CO2. Green plants take carbon dioxide from the air and give us back the oxygen that we need to live. This truly is a green industrial cleaning process.
Dry ice blasting is not abrasive, this makes the masking of glass, bearings and moving metal parts unnecessary. In many cases completely eliminating the need for shutting down industrial machinery for cleaning. Because of this characteristic dry ice blasting is better suited for many industrial cleaning applications.
Abrasive blasting wears away metal and causes long term maintenance expense. If done too many times the cleaning process itself along with residual abrasive blast media in critical areas is responsible for the depreciation of the original equipment investment.
Using fin tube heat exchangers for example. If abrasive blasting is applied to the already thin walls of the tubes and there is corrosion in or on the tubes, each time the tubes are blasted increases the potential for leaks in the tubes. This is a primary reason dry ice blasting is preferred over abrasive blasting for heat exchanger cleaning.
Dry ice blasting in confined space is something that we are very familiar with. Glacier Blast's people are OSHA confined space certified and always make safety the highest priority. Feel free and use our experience for setting up safety practices for your own industrial cleaning jobs.
