Power Generation Companies Dry Ice Cleaning

Optimum have been working in the power generation industry for over 10 years to provide turnkey dry ice blasting services all across the UK. We have worked with some of the leading UK comapnies over a large array of processes to provide cryogenic cleaning solutions.

Power Generation professionals know that one key to peak performance is clean electrical equipment. However, the demand to keep the equipment running often leads to deferred cleaning and maintenance, reduced efficiency, and in some cases, outages caused by flashover. Power Generation Companies across the UK rely on dry ice blasting as a solution for deep cleaning and decontamination solutions.

Dry Ice Blasting is the most effective, safest and cleanest way of cleaning power generation equipment. From small electric motors to HRSG’s, all can be cleaned without the use of chemicals. It is a good alternative to traditional Sand Blasting, Grit Blasting and Shot Blasting.

Dry Ice Blasting provides a non-conductive, environmentally responsible cleaning process that allows equipment to be cleaned in-place, without cool down or disassembly. In addition, the outage time typically needed for cleaning can be reduced up to 75%.

Carbon, grease and dirt contribute to low meg readings as well as catastrophic equipment failure. Dry ice cleaning removes these contaminants improving readings and restores machine efficiency.
