The Solution

• To get rid of the bivalve squatters Tube Tech used an advanced form of darting technique in the 8,000 tubes of the turbine condenser.
• Its teams have also sped up cleaning during the five occasions at the site, reducing the cleaning time from an initial two days to under 14 hours on their most recent visit.

Tube Tech Comment

Scott Donson, VP – International Business Development and Technical Operations at Tube Tech said:

“A major way in which our system scores over traditional methods is that we guarantee that the tubes will be cleaned all the way through to the end which involves multiple systems including Tube Tech’s darTT cleaners to remove thin tenacious scale, Rotaflex to remove very thick scale and WysperflexT to unblock tubes.”

Client Comment

The SITA Production Manager said:

“We had tried conventional jetting some time ago but the quality was just not up to what we wanted. It certainly did not get rid of the mussel growth. Time is always the greatest issue for us and Tube Tech has been continually managing to reduce the time the project takes on each and every occasion.”

He added:

“The last time Tube Tech was on site, their team was out in record time, which is the most important aspect for us.”
