Gas Side Cleaner

GAS SIDE CLEANER is primarily intended for use in motor vessel exhaust gas heat recovery units of all designs. It can be used to clean fouled exhaust trunks. It is fully effective when used to wash down auxiliary and main boilers from the uptakes, through economizers, generating tube banks, superheaters, membrane walls, water walls and furnaces. It contains an additive to assist in the removal of vanadium.

GAS SIDE CLEANER is sprayed undiluted on a completely dry area on to the upper most point of the system. It contains a “clinging agent” and will run around tubes/fins and drain onto the next bank. A steady spray on the top area should be maintained until the complete unit is soaked. Very large systems may require spraying at different sections.

Please note: GAS SIDE CLEANER cannot be used after cleaning with water.
