Boost safety by removing coke buildup in furnaces
The efficiency and reliability of furnaces and process heaters depends on keeping the inner walls of furnace coils free of excessive coke deposits that can accumulate during normal operation. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, coke buildup inside the tubes continually increases in thickness, reducing the flow of process fluid and raising pressure within the unit to dangerous levels. The coke layer also makes heat-exchange less efficient and more costly for the customer. This company offers advanced, in-situ pigging and decoking services that increase flow, restore heat exchange efficiency and reduce differential pressure. This mechanical cleaning service removes hydrocarbon coke and inorganic contamination without degrading tube walls. Optional inspection services to assess the condition of tube also is also available. Every project is custom-engineered, says the company. — DeBusk Services Group, LLC, Pasadena, Tex.
