Sonic Resonance Cleans Pipes and Process Equipment
Jane Alexander | May 22, 2014
According to AIMM Technologies (AIMM), its Hydrokinetics cleaning technology can clean what’s typically been considered “un-cleanable” interiors of piping, tubes, lines and process equipment in plastics, chemical, refining, offshore and other facilities. Based on the induction of “sonic resonance” into a cleaning water stream, Hydrokinetics has been shown to be capable of doing with a hydroblasting, lancing, drilling and baking acidizing can’t.
The sonic resonance travels through the water stream and safely transfers to both the tube and the fouling material. Because of the different compositions of the tube and the fouling material, they resonate at different frequencies, breaking the bond between them and allowing the fouling to be expelled easily and safely. Hydrokinetics uses less water than traditional clearing methods. For pyrophoric and chemical instability applications, it’s possible to use fluid media other than water. Because the equipment is compact, AIMM can quickly dispatch a unit and technician to sites anywhere in the world.
