Get Clean Tubes Safely and Efficiently — Without Shutdowns

Now there’s a simple solution for improving the efficiency of your refinery’s cooling process. CQM offers an innovative automatic tube cleaning system (ATCS) technology that cleans your refinery’s heat exchangers naturally and sustainably — without costly process shutdowns or chemical treatments.

And when your tubes are clean, the productivity of your refinery improves.

With over 2,300 installations worldwide, our patented ATCS technology has proven effective in a wide range of applications: water, fuels, lubricants, acids and other fouling liquids. And we provide fouling-prevention solutions for heat exchangers working in extreme temperatures, with corrosive liquids or other extreme fouling conditions.

Benefits

  • Increased Productivity: Eliminate the need for process shutdown to clean heat exchanger tubes. Reduce process upsets by continuously operating heat exchangers at stable maximum efficiency.
  • Reduced Maintenance Expense: Drastically reduce or eliminate costly and time-consuming downtime for heat exchanger cleaning. Eliminate expensive cooling water treatment chemicals.
  • Sustainability: Reduce energy consumption, water usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Reduce cooling tower bleed water by up to 80%. Eliminate cooling tower water treatment chemicals. No hazardous chemicals to contain and dispose of due to heat exchanger cleanings.
