Cleaner, More Efficient Gas Turbines Start with Citrikleen and Citrkleen HD

Cleaner, More Efficient Gas Turbines Start with Citrikleen and Citrkleen HD As natural gas becomes a more cost-effective fuel to power America’s power needs, proper maintenance of gas turbines and their compressors is more critical than ever to ensure efficient, effective, profitable, and uninterrupted power production. The Problem During the general operation of gas turbines, large quantities of air and other particulates pass through the compressors. While this air is filtered, small quantities of dust, aerosols, and water pass through the filters and end up as deposits on the blades. Over time, these deposits decrease the air flow of the compressor resulting in decreased performance and output of the gas turbines. The Solution Citrikleen and Citrikleen HD are concentrated, biodegradable heavy-duty solvents trusted by heavy industry, aerospace, refineries/petrochemical plants and the military to degrease their hardest to clean equipment. Citrikleen and Citrikleen HD...

Desludging the Desalter, a West Penetone Citrikleen HD Story

Desludging the Desalter, a West Penetone Citrikleen HD Story Desalters are notoriously dirty, difficult to clean systems within any refinery. With time and money on the line, West Penetone exceeded expectations at a local Midwest refinery, completing the turnaround ahead of schedule and under budget. Project Overview Client: Midwest Petrochemical Refinery Vessels to Clean: One, Desalter Vessel Size: 30,000 gallons  Last Cleaning: 2005 Previous Cleaning: Used competitor product which yielded poor results, with sludge over top of walkway Application and Treatment Parameters First Phase: Steam Purge to ready vessel Cleaning Agent(s): Citrikleen HD (900 gallons) , Clean Add II (1000 gallons) Allotted Turnaround Time: 48 hours Results Steam purge was not available due to unexpected limitations on site Total Time to Clean: 33 hours Readings after Cleaning: 0 LEL, 0 Benzene, 0 H2S Sludge Levels: Well below walkway Despite the lack of steam, and ade...
