Advantages of a Hydrotech air preheater and gas-gas heater clean

• Improved thermal efficiency 

• Prolong the life of air preheater elements 

• Dramatic improvement of air preheater performance 

• Increase MW output of power station 

• Hydrotech service provides a performance guarantee

• Reduced emissions of carbon (CO2) due to increased efficiency, leading to less fuel required to produce power.

• More efficient FGD plant by removal of fouling, therefore contributing to reductions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulates and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

• Cleaning carried out in 24-48 hour shutdown

• Fast response time to emergency clean

• Restoration of pressure differentials

• Increased fan power
