Equipment used in industrial facilities gradually loses performance due to lime, salt, oil, oxide, corrosion products, and other deposits contained in process fluids. These deposits reduce heat transfer, cause pressure losses, increase energy consumption, and shorten equipment life. At this point, chemical cleaning applications stand out as a safe and effective solution that restores systems to their original efficiency.
At CorCoat, we perform chemical cleaning, passivation, and copper removal services for critical equipment such as heat exchangers, boilers, drums, and similar units with our expert team. With our mobile service approach, all applications are carried out directly at your facility, minimizing production losses and increasing operational efficiency.
Mechanical cleaning methods are not always sufficient; especially in complex tube bundles, narrow channels, or sensitive surfaces, the desired results may not be achieved. When performed with properly selected reagents, chemical cleaning:
Completely removes scale and deposit layers
Cleans heat transfer surfaces and improves energy efficiency
Reduces pressure losses and ensures more effective circulation of process fluids
Extends equipment life and minimizes the risk of failure
Is applied with lower labor and time costs
Different cleaning chemicals are selected depending on the equipment and material type. The most commonly used include:
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): For scale and rust removal in carbon steel equipment
Citric Acid: For safe cleaning and passivation of stainless steel surfaces
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH): For dissolving oil, organic contaminants, and polymer deposits
All chemicals used are selected according to the process and equipment material to ensure maximum effectiveness without damaging surfaces. All operations are carried out in compliance with environmental and occupational safety standards.
Our chemical cleaning services can be applied to a wide range of industrial equipment:
Heat exchangers (plate, shell-and-tube, etc.)
Steam boilers and pressure vessels
Process drums and tanks
Condensers
Piping lines and coils
Cooling towers and auxiliary units
In addition to cleaning, protective treatments that extend equipment life are an essential part of our services:
Passivation: Applied particularly to stainless steel surfaces to create a protective oxide layer, providing enhanced corrosion resistance.
Copper Removal: Ensures the safe removal of oxide layers accumulated on copper-based equipment or copper-coated surfaces.
