As an alternative to traditional comprehensive servicing, Heat Exchangers WA offers a Clean-In-Place (CIP) Skid, designed to professionally clean the interior surfaces of your systems while they remain in-situ.
Our Clean In Place (CIP) process is a sophisticated method for cleaning the interior of your closed systems, such as heat exchangers, pressure vessels, condensers, and tanks. By circulating a precisely selected chemical fluid through your equipment, the combination of powerful turbulent flow and targeted chemical action effectively dissolves and loosens tough deposits. These dislodged contaminants are then captured and filtered out, restoring your equipments thermal performance without the need for manual teardowns.
Choosing the Right Solution
CIP is a powerful tool for restoring performance with minimal disruption. However, for a complete overhaul and integrity verification, a full workshop service is the superior option. We are committed to recommending the most effective strategy for your specific situation.
Equipment is in a logistically challenging location (e.g., offshore, remote mine site).
Minimising shutdown time is the absolute top priority.
The equipment cannot be easily removed from its position.
Fouling is moderate and the unit is not fully blocked.
When there is a leak or cross contamination is suspected
Where a complete visual inspection of every plate is required.
You need to guarantee 100% integrity with non-destructive testing.
Fouling is severe or the unit is completely blocked.
Gasket replacement or major mechanical repairs are needed.
Our state of-the-art CIP Skid is engineered for safety, power, and versatility.
Certified for Demanding Environments: The skid is 100% intrinsically safe, making it suitable for operation in hazardous industrial sites.
Versatile Chemical Compatibility: With 316 stainless steel construction, our skid is compatible with a wide variety of cleaning chemicals.
Powerful & Adaptable Flow: Dual 2″ air-operated diaphragm pumps provide the powerful turbulent flow required to dislodge stubborn deposits.
Precision Filtering: An integrated stainless steel strainer captures particulates as small as 400 microns, ensuring contaminants are effectively removed.
We understand that every client has different in-house capabilities and operational requirements. That’s why we offer two distinct service options for our advanced CIP Skid, allowing you to choose the level of support that best suits your team and project.
Don’t let fouling compromise your productivity and increase your energy costs. Partner with Heat Exchangers WA and leverage our advanced CIP technology to restore your equipment’s performance with minimal downtime.
Our CIP skid is ideal for cleaning the interior surfaces of various closed systems without disassembly. This commonly includes shell & tube heat exchangers, condensers, pressure vessels, and small tanks.
When there is a leak or cross contamination is suspected or where a complete visual inspection of every plate is required.
Where you want a 100% surface clean to restore to 100% efficiency.
CIP may be less effective if a heat exchanger is fully blocked. Critically, it is not a substitute for a full workshop service where visual plate inspection or none destructive testing for microscopic flaws is required to verify integrity.
Yes. We can work with you and our partnering companies to reccomend the most effective chemical solutions for your specific fouling and equipment materials. For "Dry Hire" clients, we can provide this expert advice as a separate consultation.
Safety is our highest priority. The process is fully contained, and our skid is certified intrinsically safe for hazardous environments. safety and environmental protocols.
