Industrial companies are committed to finding innovative approaches and developing new technological cleaning solutions to improve industrial cleaning processes.
Revolutionize industrial cleaning with ultrasonic technology
Blackhawk ultrasonic cleaning service.
One of the most effective methods used to clean a wide variety of industrial equipment is ultrasonic cleaning.
Ultrasonic cleaning involves introducing ultrasonic energy into a solution, which causes alternating patterns of low- and high-pressure phases that lead to cavitation. This cavitation provides an intense scrubbing action that leads to unsurpassed cleaning speed and consistency.
Blackhawk Industrial Group (BIG) has recognized the importance of stimulating an otherwise stagnant mechanical cleaning market by offering ultrasonic cleaning services. Ultrasonic cleaning provides a value-added alternative to conventional industrial cleaning processes, which have consistently undervalued its impact on the environment, sustainability and overall economic interest.
Recently, a Gulf Coast refinery acquired two heavily fouled heat exchangers that were difficult to clean using conventional methods. Despite multiple chemical cleanings by a third-party contractor, the exchangers remained heavily fouled. The exchangers were then water blasted for five days, but the cleaning results remained unsatisfactory. However, Blackhawk restored the exchangers to performance levels that conventional cleaning contractors could not achieve using their ultrasonic systems.
Blackhawk has established a reputation for providing premium mechanical cleaning services with ultrasonics, and its primary goal is that all cleaned heat exchangers perform within the original design specifications. To ensure the best performance of any heat exchanger, no tubes are allowed to contain any sign of blockage.
Oftentimes, there is remaining residue that contains both removable and baked-on components such as oils, minerals, burned chemicals and leftover sulfur compounds. Companies face challenges when accessing hard-to-reach areas in their exchangers, but neglecting this cleaning service is detrimental to the longevity of the heat exchangers. Using a unique combination of frequency, amplitude, temperature, time and chemistry, Blackhawk can handle it.
Ultrasonic cleaning is becoming increasingly popular, and Blackhawk can safely and effectively clean both onsite and offsite, either at its facilities or by utilizing mobile ultrasonic equipment. With reliable equipment, management and services readily available, Blackhawk looks forward to working with current customers and welcoming new customers to reinvent the definition of cleanliness.
