The Fuel Efficiency/B.E.T. Automatic Tube Cleaner uses timed puffs of compressed air or steam to clean boiler firetubes. In most cases, tubes are blown against the draft, when the burner is in operation, so that the soot is burned in suspension and not discharged up the stack. Only one fourth or less of the tubes are cleaned at a time, but every tube is cleaned at least once per hour of burner operation. This also minimizes the compressed air or steam requirement. Because the automatic controls are tied into the burner controls, the cleaning closely parallels boiler demand.

Saves the Boiler

• Sulphur and vanadium in soot causes pitting and corrosion of boiler tubes
• Baked-on soot eventually causes boiler tube failures
• Automatic tube cleaning increases boiler tube life

  Pays for Itself
  

• 6% to 20% annual fuel savings result from increased boiler efficiency
• No downtime or lost production for cleaning
• Helps increase heat output of present boilers to meet increasing demand

  Low Cost Operation....
  Maintenance Free
  

• Cleans according to demand - tied into boiler controls
• No moving parts, all welded construction

  Cuts Air Pollution
  

• Helps control stack emissions
• Most of soot is reburned

Some of the many applications for Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems include:

• heavy grades of oil
• solid fuels (wood, coal)
• waste heat (from process or incineration)

If there is residual build-up in the tubes, then there is a very good chance that our Automatic Tube Cleaning System can alleviate or eliminate the problem.
