Chemical Cleaning

Clean Harbors Chemical Cleaning Services are an efficient, cost-effective way to remove corrosion, deposits, residual oils/greases, and other obtrusive contaminants from tainted surfaces.  This process is used for passivation to eliminate fouling, oxidation, process system corrosion, and decontamination of process lines and vessels.

Our vast array of equipment includes:

• Chemical blending and circulating units
• Filtration units
• Heating units
• Injection units
• High volume pumping units

We are also equipped with portable boilers and heat exchangers to improve the effectiveness of any cleaning project.

Clean Harbors provides comprehensive analysis to determine the best chemical cleaning method for the application.  Whether in the form of liquid, foam, vapor-phase cascading, or circulation, we incorporate the proper chemistry to eliminate deposits and scaling by identifying through bench testing, materials that are compatible with the integrity of the system being cleaned.  Customers profit from reduced downtime and less process variation.

Clean Harbors commonly uses the following chemical cleaning treatments:

• Alkaline/solvent wash for hydrocarbon sludge removal from process equipment.
• Acid/chelant treatment for scale build-up on the inside of pipes and tubes in boilers or cooling water service.
• Safe and non-toxic form of enzyme based chemical cleaning, including Zyme Flow in Canada.
