High Pressure Jetting is a most efficient method for cleaning heat exchangers, boilers, items tube side in the nitric oxide flow and brick-lined chambers. It is also very cost-effective, to quickly clean plant in situ with minimum disruption. The process pumps water through a flexible lance at a pressure of 40,000psi (2600) bar), delivering a powerful jet of water directly onto the plant surface. The innovative nozzles of the lance, developed by RS Bruce, are custom-made for every project for maximum efficiency. Our extensive testing shows that high pressure jetting recovers 90-99% of PGM material compared with 55-65% by mechanical means. Furthermore, because residues are suspended in water and pumped through a sealed circuit to filtration, no PGM oxides are lost into the atmosphere as dust. The use of water as opposed to chemical cleaning also makes high pressure jetting environmentally friendly. - Fast, in situ cleaning of plant
- Requires fewer operatives
- Specially developed, bespoke equipment
- 90-99% PGM retrieval
- No PGM lost as dust
- Environmentally friendly
Examples of PGM recovery by hydroblasting: Plant 1 Estimated recovery: 70-90k Actual recovery: 164.6kg (82kg of Pt, 60kg of Pd, 2kg of Rh)
Plant 2 Estimated recovery: 5-8kg Actual recovery: 16.75kg (10kg of Pt, 6kg of Pd, 0.7kg of Rh)
