The green way of looking at our environment appears to be here to stay. Laws are in place that restrict the way we dispose of hazardous materials.
No longer are we able to pressure wash anything contaminated with a hazardous material and let the waste water run into the ground. According to the present laws, the waste water is to be contained and tested. If hazardous materials are present, the waste and waste water is to be treated and disposed of in accordance with the laws dealing with the particular hazardous substance.
Wow! What a troublesome chore this can turn into. Making sure that hazardous waste and the waste water is unable to drain into drains or the ground can be quite labor intense. Now consider the costs of pumping the contaminated water into a tanker, transporting it to a containment area to be tested, treated, and then transported to a disposal sight.
The solution to this problem is dry ice blasting. Dry ice is solid CO2 (carbon dioxide). Dry ice pellets are accelerated by compressed air and sublimate instantly on impact. There is no contaminated secondary waste to contain or dispose of. Imagine, no water, sand, chemicals or solutions to cleanup after the job is complete. Many companies are surprised to learn, waste they used to haul away in tankers can now be put in drums and brought to a disposal site in the back of a small truck.
The power plant you work at might have an outage scheduled and a boiler has lost efficiency since the last outage and it needs to be cleaned. There might be some generators that need cleaning.
You could be in charge of maintenance at a refinery and a turn around is scheduled. Perhaps you are wondering what cleaning process to use on a steam turbine, compressor or convection section. The convection section might have horizontal fin tubes and you are wondering, how to clean them without damaging the fins.
Maybe the company you work for has purchased a printing press and it needs dry ice blasting before putting it online in the new addition? It might have come from another shop and you would like to clean it to eliminate potential problems.Perhaps it is an oven or food processing machine at a bakery. Whatever it is, the cleaning process to use is dry ice blasting. This process is safe, environmentally friendly, non abrasive, and leaves no secondary waste stream. Our growing list of satisfied customers shows that it is the preferred industrial cleaning method for today's environmentally conscious world.
