and cover the surfaces of the air preheater, cleaning them in a similar manner as the
firebox chemicals. This process can also be done without an APH bypass.
No physical, chemical, mechanical or thermal damages to our clients equipment
have ever been observed or reported throughout the course of numerous fired
heater cleaning services conducted. Higher efficiency rates have been recorded
as a result of the proprietary GTC liquid chemicals utilized.
GTCs liquid chemical process can significantly increase the heater efficiency
rate compared to the use of solid blast cleaning methods. In addition, GTCs
injection velocity of material is lower than the solid blast cleaning technique. This
is consistent with GTCs commitment toward inherently safe processes. Our teams
have had no safety incidents over the course of numerous furnace cleanings.
