Efficient and eco-friendly cleaning View Products
OptiTube
Reactors and Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are ubiquitous, and it is known that tubes foul over time. The fouling material can be process deposits, corrosion, or erosion, depending on what fluid and process is used.
Conventional cleaning techniques in essence are agnostic to what they are cleaning. So, if there is no deposit, it will end up harming the parent material.
INV Photonics developed and patented the world’s first technique that utilizes lasers for cleaning tubes and pipes internal surfaces.
Common Problems.
Here are some common problems faced by industries due to corrosion and
contamination buildups in tubes and pipes
Reduced Efficiency
Corrosion and contamination inside tubes and pipes can restrict the flow of fluids or gases, leading to decreased efficiency and performance. This can result in lower productivity and increased energy consumption.
Safety Hazards
Corroded or contaminated pipes pose safety risks in industrial settings. They can result in leaks, spills, or hazardous material exposures, potentially leading to accidents, injuries, or environmental damage.
Maintenance Costs
Regular maintenance, repair, and replacement of corroded or contaminated pipes can be expensive and time-consuming. The accumulation of rust and contaminants necessitates frequent cleaning, inspection, and maintenance procedures.
Compliance Issues
Industries are often required to adhere to strict regulations and standards related to safety, environmental protection, and product quality. Corrosion and contamination in pipes can lead to non-compliance, resulting in penalties, legal consequences, and damage to reputation.
damage to the parent metal
Most of these techniques essentially do not care whether you are treating the deposit or the original metal itself. And it can cause material wastage and damage, and overtime this leads to a reduced lifetime of the tubes or pipes. Because these conventional techniques in essence are agnostic to what they are cleaning, and if there is no deposit, it will end up hurting the parent material.
The Solution.
Features.
01
Precision
Laser technology precisely targets and removes rust and contaminants from tubes and pipes, ensuring thorough cleaning and optimal performance
02
Gentle Cleaning
The non-abrasive approach of laser rust removal or cleaning effectively removes rust and contamination without causing damage to the treated surfaces, ensuring safe and reliable operation
03
Versatile Use
Laser cleaning systems offer versatile applications, adapting to various types of tubes and pipes internal and external surfaces in different industries, providing efficient cleaning solutions for a wide range of systems
04
Environmental
Laser technology eliminates the need for chemicals or solvents in the cleaning process. Unlike some traditional cleaning methods, this is an environmentally friendly, dry, contactless cleaning process that produces no waste or emissions
05
EPA, ESG, OSHA
Significant push for adopting laser cleaning technology from manufacturers in multiple industries. Laser-blasting technology being acknowledged by industries professionals as they prepare for the potential adoption of laser technology
06
Corrosion Immunity
We believe because our cleaning is so effective that the frequency of cleaning required will also go down. There could be potentially double the time needed between two cleaning attempts, means reducing that frequency in half.
Several research studies proved that laser ablated surfaces have the tendency to resist corrosion attack, hence improves its immunity to rust or corrosion buildups
Transition Your Industrial Cleaning
Increased pressure for stricter regulations from agencies like EPA and OSHA has created a significant push for adopting laser cleaning technology from manufacturers in multiple industries. This, paired with considerable advancements in hardware and software, has led to the overall relevance of laser-blasting technology being acknowledged by professionals in currently unaffected industries as they prepare for the potential adoption of laser technology. As laser cleaning continues to be implemented as an integral process in many industries, the opportunity for new applications grows. This rapid growth is due to an increased demand for laser-blasting technology in the automotive, aerospace, defense, energy, industrial, maritime, space exploration and shipbuilding industries.
