Heat Exchanger Cleaning Techniques
Merrick’s Hydrolazing & Waterblasting’s complete heat exchanger cleaning processes utilizes a number of tools and techniques.

Air- and Water-Propelled Brushes
Air- and water-propelled brushes quickly and efficiently clean soft tube fouling and sediment deposits without damaging tubes.

Air- and Water-Propelled Scrapers
Air- and water-propelled scrapers effectively remove hard mineral and marine deposits while minimizing internal tube abrasion and wear.

Hydroblasting
Hydroblasting with various nozzles and pressures can effectively clean the most stubborn fouling. Where pitting is present, hydroblasting is preferred because pressures and cleaning times can be adjusted to suit individual conditions.
