Seawater exchanger cleaning: Efficient CIP for optimal performance

Seawater heat exchangers are in focus at True Vision, where we offer specialized and thorough cleaning using CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) technology. Seawater heat exchangers are exposed to the harsh stresses of seawater, which over time can lead to the build-up of scale, corrosion and biological deposits such as algae and biofilm. These are challenges that not only reduce heat transfer, but can also compromise the overall efficiency and lifetime of your installation.

With our CIP cleaner, these deposits are removed gently and efficiently, without the need to dismantle the heat exchanger. This saves both time and costs while restoring optimal performance. Regular maintenance and cleaning ensures that the seawater heat exchanger functions properly, contributing to better energy utilization, lower operating costs and less risk of unplanned downtime. Our experienced technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and environmentally friendly cleaning methods tailored to the unique needs of seawater systems. Whether it’s a small facility or a large industrial system, we make sure your heat exchanger meets the requirements for reliability and efficiency.

Why is seawater exchanger cleaning important?

Seawater heat exchangers are exposed to harsh conditions that can lead to:

  1. Reduced heat transfer: Limescale and deposits hinder efficient operation.
  2. Increased energy consumption: The system has to work harder to achieve the desired performance.
  3. Corrosion damage: Salt water and biological growth shorten the life of the components.

Regular cleaning ensures that the system performs optimally and reduces the need for costly maintenance or replacement.

How we clean seawater heat exchangers

1. Inspection of the exchanger

○ We analyze the condition to identify lime, biological growth or other obstacles.

2. Chemical cleaning (CIP)

○ With specialized equipment such as Kamco’s Dual Mag Flush and effective chemicals such as Scalebreaker FX, we remove all types of deposits that reduce performance.
