Chemical Cleaning

Chemistry chosen from data — not habit.

The problem

Across refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical facilities, and power generation sites, scale, fouling, and process residues silently rob equipment of performance every day. Heat exchangers lose efficiency. Process piping restricts flow. Boilers burn more fuel to deliver less.

Left untreated, these conditions don't just cost money — they shorten asset life and create unplanned downtime that puts production targets, safety, and operating margins at risk. Fouling doesn't send an invoice. It just quietly raises everyone else's.

Eco-Solv's chemical cleaning restores equipment to design performance — safely, reliably, and with chemistry tailored to the specific scale or fouling profile of your asset.

 

The hidden cost of doing nothing 

  • Lost thermal efficiency — fouled exchangers force utilities to work harder and drive energy costs up

  • Reduced throughput — scale restricts flow, throttles production, and stresses pumps and compressors

  • Accelerated degradation — pitting and under-deposit corrosion shorten the life of expensive assets

  • Unplanned downtime — cleaning during a turnaround is planned and predictable; cleaning after a failure is neither

  • Quality & compliance risk — residues compromise product purity in food, pharma, and chemical service

 

What we clean / what we remove

WHAT WE CLEAN: Heat exchangers & fin fans · Boilers & steam systems · Process piping & vessels · Cooling systems · Oxygen-service systems · New construction (pre-commissioning)

WHAT WE REMOVE: Mineral scale (calcium, silica, iron) · Process fouling & polymers · Mill scale & construction debris · Oils, greases & hydrocarbons · Oxidation & corrosion products · Biological fouling

 

When to clean 

Pre-operational / pre-commissioning

Remove mill oil, scale, and construction debris from new piping and vessels — before process fluids ever touch them.

Turnarounds & outages

The planned window. Restore exchanger ΔT and flow before startup, while access is open and the schedule is yours.

Predictive maintenance

Clean on condition, not on failure — extend run length between outages and keep energy costs where the design says they should be.

 

Our process: analyze first

Every project starts with the deposit, not the pump. We analyze the scale, select reactive and/or solvent chemistry to match it, and bench-test the treatment before mobilization. Every job is engineered around the asset, the contaminant, and the safety envelope of the site — and documented end to end.

  • 1. Sample & analyze the deposit

  • 2. Select and bench-test the chemistry

  • 3. Engineer the circulation plan and safety envelope

  • 4. Execute with experienced crews and monitored parameters

  • 5. Neutralize, manage waste, and document everything
