Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Cleaning

Fairtex Group offers air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHE) or Fin Fans used extensively in the Oil, Gas, Refining, Chemical, Power, and other heavy industries. As a critical component of your production process, maintaining good ACHE performance is essential.

If your Air-Cooled Condensers (ACC) are not operating at their optimum performance, your business is losing money. Fairtex Group's innovative ACC fouling removal service helps increase production rates while lowering mechanical and maintenance costs and reducing lost time in both machinery and manpower by restoring ACCs to full working order, often without taking systems offline.

Fairtex Group's vast experience in ACC fouling removal includes:

• ACC (Air Cooled Condenser) Hexacool fouling removal with SafeJet technology


• ACC (Air Cooled Condenser) fouling removed online


• Fouling removed from ACC using an innovative telescopic lance system

What we can do:

• Increase your Air-Cooled Condenser's efficiency by up to 60%.


• Perform Hexacool fouling removal using SafeJet technology, telescopic lances, or other methods depending on your unique requirements.


• Complete fouling removal jobs that nobody else can do, in less time, with higher safety standards.


• Remove fouling from ACC units online, reducing outages and maintenance costs.

Our experts determines if cleaning is necessary to restore cleaning capacity, we clean the inside as well as the external tube surface. We use a range of methods to clean the external surface, including dry cleaning, foam cleaning, and mechanized hydro-jetting.

Internal tube cleaning is performed by automated high-pressure water jetting techniques, such as tube lancing equipment (TLE). Chemical cleaning can be used to remove hydrogen sulphide (H2S), iron sulphide (FeS), and/or sticky pollutants that present challenges to hydro-jetting applications.

Dry cleaning:

• We use soda blasting to clean induced and forced draft ACHE. For induced draft ACHE, this method can be carried out fully online. For forced draft ACHE, it is required for the fan to be stopped. Foam cleaning:


• Foam cleaning allows the active ingredient to penetrate into the pollution as it clings to the fins. The foam with the dislodged pollution is then washed down with water. Mechanized hydro-jetting:


• For the cleaning of A-Frame and forced draft ACHE, we use multiple nozzle jetting heads, which move along a rail by chain and air-motor.

CHEMICAL AND ULTRASONIC CLEANING OF AIR COOLERS

Air coolers are subject to two kinds of contamination. On the one hand, exhaust fumes passing through the cooler deposit particulates and grime on the cooler's air fins. On the other hand, scale builds up on the surface of the tubes that serve as conduits for the cooling water. At CP Heat Exchanger Technologies, we use ultrasonic cleaning to clean the fins of your air cooler. This method enables us to remove all dust particles, even in the most difficult-to-access corners. Scaling on the air cooler is removed through a chemical cleaning process. You can also turn to CP Heat Exchanger Technologies for the repair or refurbishing of your air-cooled heat exchanger.
