It’s no secret that in the competitive marketing of hydroblasting and ultrasonic cleaning, numerous industrial cleaning companies have started to revolutionize their environmental and sustainable cleaning methods in the race to be among the top-performing industrial cleaning facilities in the Gulf Coast petrochemical region for over five years.
Blackhawk Industrial has embraced the simple mission to stimulate an otherwise stagnant mechanical cleaning market. By offering an innovative and superior alternative to conventional industrial cleaning, the company has established a gold standard reputation by providing premium mechanical cleaning services with ultrasonics at the heart of its services. Blackhawk’s innovative processes and use of patented technologies have consistently been proven capable of restoring critical manufacturing assets to performance levels that conventional cleaning contractors simply cannot achieve. Historically, the industry has become satisfied with a 60-70% solution, while Blackhawk has repeatedly proven the ability to achieve 88-98% fouling removal.
When presented with a number of fouled heat exchangers, one of the biggest concerns expressed by customers is the future operation and maintenance of equipment after cleaning. It is without question that, for the best performance of any heat exchanger, no tubes are to contain any sign of blockage, as it could prove detrimental to the heat exchanger itself in the long run. There is often remaining residue that contains both removable and baked-on components such as oils, minerals, burned chemicals and leftover sulfur compounds. Quite often, companies face challenges accessing hard to reach areas in their exchangers to ensure clean and efficient results with traditional cleaning methods such as hydroblasting. Using a unique combination of frequency, amplitude, temperature, time and chemistry, Blackhawk can handle it.
The primary goal of the team at Blackhawk is that all cleaned heat exchangers perform within the original design specification. Customers taking advantage of ultrasonic cleaning receive a higher return on value and satisfaction based on greater efficiency and longevity of their equipment and assets. With proper cleaning and maintenance, lengthy maintenance intervals allow for increased run time.
Ultrasonics are becoming a high priority for customers. Blackhawk can safely and effectively clean both onsite and off-site, either at its facilities or by utilizing mobile ultrasonic equipment. Specifications and models are being produced; it’s within all industrial cleaning facilities’ best interest to keep up with the latest technological advancements. Eradicating all possible contaminants from heat exchangers, and improving quality while remaining environmentally conscious, is the primary goal. With each cleaning of an exchanger, there is an advantage to collect data and provide possible options of preventable measures to demonstrate the value of ultrasonic cleaning.
With reliable equipment, management and services readily available, Blackhawk Industrial Group looks forward to working with current customers and welcoming new customers to reinvent the definition of clean.
