Bang&Clean's certified experts introduce a water-cooled lance (pre-fitted with a special bag) through the boiler's doors or portholes, near the heating surface to be cleaned.
Bang&Clean Technologies AG: the name says it all. This Swiss company uses controlled gas explosions to clean industrial plants in a variety of sectors. What makes Bang&Clean so special? Cleaning is carried out while the plant is actually running, in compliance with the strictest safety regulations. Bang&Clean puts its trust in Kistler's pressure measurement technology know-how for blast testing - not only to optimize the safety and efficiency of this patented process, but also for the development of new products. Kistler's sensors supply valuable insights into ignition processes and pressure wave propagation.
Markus Bürgin is the founder and Managing Director of Bang&Clean Technologies AG. Back in 2000, he developed and patented the Bang&Clean system for cleaning with controlled and dosed explosions. Since 2001, this process has been used in virtually every sector of industry where fuel-fired energy and power generation plants are in operation. Typical examples include waste-fed heating plants, biomass power stations and hazardous waste incineration plants, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical facilities. Ash and slag deposits must be removed regularly from plant components such as boilers, catalytic converters and reactors - otherwise, performance will be reduced, faults will occur and operators will be faced with high outage costs. 'With our services and products, we aim to increase the availability, efficiency and performance of industrial plants and components. Our customers benefit from longer service lifetimes for their plant components, and they avoid downtime,' Bürgin explains.
Another advantage: plant components continue to operate during the cleaning process. As Bürgin points out: 'Shutting the plants down for every cleaning operation would saddle our customers with enormous costs.'
