Condenser Tube Cleaning

Our main focus is to restore and maintain maximum operating efficiency for every condenser and heat exchanger we clean. Hennigan Engineering Co., Inc. has the experience required to review your particular conditions and employ the appropriate cleaning technique for every application.

Given the job parameters, we successfully implement chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning (brushes, metal/plastic scrapers, abrasive balls) and high pressure water jetting. Proper assessment of the conditions affecting each power plant is crucial in choosing the correct course of action. We work closely with our clients to offer a comprehensive cleaning solution, taking into account tube base metal compositions, base metal conditions, corrosion control, fouling agent, scale composition, cleaning window, safety and environmental concerns.

We rely heavily on the use of specialized high pressure water jetting equipment to satisfy the majority of our project requirements. We have custom designed our high pressure water jetting systems to perform far beyond the capability of off-the-shelf equipment.

The net result is a package designed to provide complete 360 I.D. tube cleaning without harming tube base metal. With operating pressures ranging from 10,000 - 20,000 psi, we can effectively remove all foreign debris, from biological films to calcium/silica scales.


Advantages of our Hydrolasing technique:

  • Cleans all tube materials without harm, from brass through titanium
  • Inhibits corrosion and extends tube life by removing corrosive deposits from tube I.D. and tube pits.
  • Cleans any length and diameter of straight or U-tube heat exchanger.
  • Extends maximum operating efficiency by removing fine layer of silt and organic debris which is missed by mechanical cleaning and leads to rapid refouling.
  • Removes any foreign scale deposit.
  • Environmental Safety - No chemical discharges, or hazardous waste removal.
  • Custom designed cleaning nozzles which offer full 360 I.D. cleaning without streaking tube.
  • Multiple lance systems- up to 8 (or more) operators for fast cleaning of large main condensers.
  • Radiological Waste minimization with the use of our positive shut off pressure control systems.
  • Cost Effective - restored baseline performance and extended refouling rates; promptly recovers job expense (in exponential fashion).
