Conco Excels at French Plant |
Conco is pleased to share the outstanding work of Conco Systems SPRL, who successfully cleaned a well-known refinery located near Le Havre in Western France.
Conco technicians serviced a tube bundle exchanger with the NitroLance Liquid Nitrogen system. In less than three days on a tight schedule, Conco successfully cleaned 90% of the tubes, removing over 1300 kg of deposits.
The job required flexibility and quick adaptation to the cleaning needs and requests of the employer, from cleaning tubes to cleaning the exchanger shell to drilling open 50 completely blocked tubes. When previously cleaned with high pressure water in 2006, the exchanger required almost two weeks of work to be cleaned sufficiently.
The project achieved dynamic results typical of Conco applications. The project was:
-
FAST: Completed in a three-day window - a fraction of the fourteen days required for conventional cleaning
-
SMALL: An experienced three-man team was on-site
-
SAFE: Liquid nitrogen is safer than high pressure water and required less clean-up

The article also spotlights the NitroLance, which utilizes high-pressure liquid nitrogen to remove deposits from industrial heat exchangers with no water waste. The NitroLance is the best choice for difficult tube fouling.

Tube Cleaning
Conco created the world's first offline mechanical tube cleaning system, and our technology has safely and effectively cleaned over 150 million tubes worldwide. We don't rely on two or three cleaner designs and hope that they remove your deposits, we've engineered over a dozen cleaners with fouling specific architecture that provide effective cleaning tube after tube. |
Leak Detection Services
Conco provides both condenser tube leak detection as well as air inleakage detection for our power generation clients. Our teams can quickly mobilize to find leaks and save your plant money. Heat exchanger tube leaks can cause serious problems to your boiler and turbine, so don't delay in calling us to locate the source of your tube leak. With over 30 years experience in leak detection you can rest assured we'll find your leak. |
Nondestructive Testing
In addition to effective cleaning, regular performance of eddy current testing can help your plant eliminate the risk of a forced outage due to an exchanger tube leak. Our eddy current testing teams can find tube defects BEFORE they can cause a costly outage. Don't wait until the damage is already done. Just one unplanned outage can cost you more money than a complete eddy current inspection of your entire heat exchanger! |
