Producers of industrial gases rightfully have stringent requirements with regard to the cleaning of their compressors, which are central to their production. It goes without saying that all components that come into contact with O2 have to be 100% grease-free. All too often, solvents that are hazardous to humans and the environment, such as toluene, MEC, PERC and acetone, are used.

However, in 2003, IndusClean developed a human- and environmentally friendly water-based cleaning alternative. Using a mobile ultrasonic unit, designed in-house, measuring 5,000 mm in length, rotors can be cleaned on-site. In this way, these critical components will remain on-site, thus eliminating the risk of damage during transportation to an absolute minimum.

This cleaning device can also be used for tubular heat exchangers (gas- water- or oil applications) as well as bronze filtration cartridges for O2 gas filtration. A final inspection with an UV lamp will provide certainty on surface purity and the complete absence of grease.
