ChemicalServicesspecialized chemical cleaning

Over 75 years of chemical cleaning experienceThe right solution is the most cost effective one. No matter

what your industry, when you consult the expertise of our Chemical

Services team, the chances of reducing your overall project cost

are greatly improved. HydroChem’s experience in developing and

administering special cleaning solvents for applications throughout

a variety of industries is documented with numerous case histories.

Whether cleaning complex industrial turbines, making vessels

safe for personnel entry, or simple cosmetic cleaning, we have the

experience to make your next cleaning project your best one.

This is possible because HydroChem maintains a state of the art

chemical research facility designed specifically to customize cleaning

solutions for most any industrial cleaning project. But more than our

facilities, it is our experience that continues to keep HydroChem

positioned as a leader in chemical cleaning. The rapid response of

local branch supervisors as well as HydroChem’s highly trained

mobile professionals, available from all across the U.S., ensure job

efficiency every time.

Improved hydroblasting efficiency. When combining customized

chemistries with our advanced hydroblasting technologies your

projects go faster and surfaces get cleaner too. Cleaner equipment

means more efficient heat transfer and lower fuel costs every hour

of every day.

HydroChem maintains several mobile labs that are deployed for chemical analysis at the job site.

An investment of several million dollars in new equipment is proof of HydroChem’s commitment to staying at the forefront of chemical cleaning service providers.

Adding to our staff and continuing our commitment to the future, senior chemists are both teaching, and learning from some of the best new young talent in chemical engineering.

Comprehensive Chemical Cleaning Solutions. Our Specialized

Chemical Cleaning Group is dedicated to solving the most complex

cleaning challenges. With over 75 years of operation, this team of the

industry’s most experienced chemical cleaning experts, works with the

latest technologies to raise the level of cleanliness while lowering overall

cleaning times. Using reactive and non reactive chemistry coupled with

multiple delivery systems such as, Fill & Soak, circulation, vapor phase,

foam, fill & drain, and air agitation provide great results in a variety of

process equipment. Since 2012, HydroChem has invested millions to

ensure they continue to be the top supplier in the nation and abroad.

Chemical Cleaning

• Reduces equipment cleaning time

• Minimizes generated waste

• Skilled professionals ensure job efficiency

• Customized solutions for common problems

• Up to 20,000 gpm full flow filtration for flushing and removing debris from process equipment

STS-CHEM-1014

Over 75 years experience in the development of custom chemistry

for industrial cleaning. Customers continue to tell us what we already

know... HydroChem has no match for customized chemistry. By putting

our extensive experience and over 100 chemistry patents to work, we

continue to set the standard for industrial chemical cleaning services.

Our degassing chemistries are examples of the safest and most

advanced solutions you will find anywhere.

Reduce the time it takes to clear process equipment of VOC’s

and get personnel into equipment faster. Our CFE Clear For Entry

product line has a reputation for unmatched speed and effectiveness.

The ease of use, injection options, low water requirements, and

environmentally friendly benefits of our CFE chemistries have set the

bar for removing VOC’s, degassing, removing pyrophoric iron sulfides,

and reducing LEL’s to safe levels.

Degassing and Decontamination Benefits of CFE chemicals for degassing process equipment

• Reduces decontamination time for personnel entry up to 90%

• Economically removes oil and VOCs from process equipment

• Low foaming

• Eliminates H2S and benzene

• Promotes the removal of pyrophoric iron sulfide during the decontamination process

• Environmentally friendly, non-hazardous and biodegradeable

• LEL to 0, within hours not days

• Compatible in customer procedures

• Phase separation of organic materials – normally 12 to 24 hours, not weeks

The superior Clear For Entry degassing chemistry. EZE-CLEAR CFE is used by some of the world’s largest refining and petrochemical companies for safe, fast and reliable degassing of process equipment.

Applications for CFE Chemistries

CFE Chemistries for special applications

EzeSolv CFE is a micro-emulsion cleaner designed specifically to

tame the toughest of heavy hydrocarbon buildups in equipment

such as FCCU slurry exchangers or crude desalters. This intense,

process treatment chemistry breaks down tars, asphalts and other

heavy hydrocarbons, providing remarkable results in a much more

economical way. Effective from ambient to greater than 300º F, it

can be applied by liquid circulation, Steam Soak or Steam Fogging.

Our EzeRinz CFE is designed for Ethylene Quench units to provide

exceptional rinsing abilities... an example of our capabilities to

adapt chemistries for specific applications.

While all CFE chemistries are built for degassing procedures, some special applications call for modified solutions.

Highly effective for waste oil breakout. EZE-CLEAR BD Controlled Breakout Detergent is specifi-cally designed for Steam Fogging applications where waste oil breakout is required. It has a concentrate pH of less than 9.0, has no flash point, and has outstanding rinsing characteristics.
