High pressure pipe cleaning, drain cleaning and heat exchanger cleaning

The great versatility of the KAMAT water jet processes is especially evident in pipe cleaning. They are able to free pipe bends of deposits from many bends away, even if these were completely sealed.

Our high pressure pumps are also excellently suited for the cleaning of drains and heat exchangers and the cleaning of pipe bundles. The high pressure water jet makes gentle and effective removal of deposits without damaging the pipe's inner walls.

Practical example:

Propulsion unit fixed to the
flange opening on the pipe

Cleaning of an ash transportation pipe in a power plant in Poland, using the KAMAT System "Tornado"

Mainly in coal-fired and oil-fired power stations there is a recurrent problem of deposits blocking up the piping used to transport the ashes (from the boiler room to the dumpsite). Hard incrustations build up which narrow the tube inner diameter and making it necessary to increase the pump performance enormously, in order to flush out the ashes.

In this particular case in a Polish power station, the incrustations are about 30 mm in thickness at the beginning, but further down the line, they reach a thickness of up to
70 mm.
