Neutralization, Passivation & Reactor Cleaning

Depending on the metallurgy and process some reactors may require passivation of internal components and interior walls to neutralize acids that form from fluorides, chlorides and sulfur compounds inherent with the process. If necessary a soda ash solution is applied either by a circulation system using a three dimensional spraying head or by flooding the reactor. Afterwards the reactor can be dried by hot or ambient air circulation.

Immediately after the reactor is unloaded it should be cleaned internally to remove any residual catalyst or other foreign particles. The type of process or reactor will often dictate the type of cleaning that will be required.

If there is a requirement for additional or specialized cleaning for inspection or repair purposes we are also able to offer these services. The most common methods are High Pressure and Ultra High Pressure water blasting, grit, dry ice or carb-soda blasting.
