Heat Exchanger Services

Heat exchangers are designed to perform efficiently in any plants, whether it’s a power plant or a chemical plant or in a refinery, and the cleanliness of the tubes has got a direct impact on the overall efficiency and productivity of the plant. Fouling, scales, and other foreign materials are problems that result in poor heat transfer performance and thus costing dollars as production loss. Therefore, a regular heat exchanger cleaning is highly inevitable to keep the plant efficiency high.

WALCO has been partnered with CONCO Systems, USA, one of the pioneers of heat exchanger services right from cleaning technology to total inspection systems, for more than a decade. CONCO provides specialized shell and tube heat exchanger cleaning and testing services worldwide, and WALCO is their appointed service and sales partner and licensee in Qatar.

With our TruFitTM cleaning technology, each tube internal surface can be returned to its original bare metal state without causing any wear and tear. It removes the fouling, predominantly one of the common reasons for poor heat transfer besides other scales, sedimentation, biofouling, and other foreign materials that obstruct the water flow and thus heat transfer capabilities.

WALCO ensures perfect clean heat exchanger tubes, which reassures the performance of a heat exchanger by resuming the lifecycle of the unit by allowing them to rebuild themselves the protective oxides inside.

A wide variety of TruFit TM cleaners severally or in combination is used for mechanical offline cleaning. WALCO has trained, experienced technicians to offer this service, and fully equipped with a fleet of Pro series pumps, Hydrodrill, and other equipment. Our team is trained to perform mechanical offline cleaning without damaging tube sheet or tube coatings. Our technology ensures negligible wear and tear to the tubes, even a repeated 100 cleaning.

We chose the right cleaner for you after analyzing the deposits inside the tube.

WALCO has cleaned over 1.5 million tubes so far without having any lost time injury, no accidents or near misses. Our cleaning methodology is safer, faster, and cleaner than any other technology in practice today.

Our heat exchanger cleaning technologies range from our patented and proprietary TruFit™ tube cleaners, HydroDrill™ and high-pressure water blasting, to our innovative NitroLance™ liquid nitrogen cleaning system.

WALCO-CONCO has an array of products that suits the requirement of a power plant, refinery, petrochemical plant, or even a VLCC or a gas carrier to bring the heat exchangers and condensers back to its peak performance at a competitive cost. Whether it is a horizontally placed or vertically placed heat exchanger with straight or u-tube bundle configurations or with varying diameter, we have the right solutions to offer you.

We offer in-situ cleaning methodologies for faster, safer, and cleaner solutions.
