Tech Sonic deployment in Saudi Arabia and South Korea in partnership with KBR.

Tech Sonic has developed a combination of proprietary and patented technologies that clean heat exchangers and associated process components to like-new performance levels, unrivalled by any current conventional cleaning methods.

Tech Sonic is the world leader in the development of ultrasonic cleaning technologies for heat exchangers and process components used in the refinery and petrochemical industries. Our unique, patented approach increases profits for our clients by improving efficiency and reducing both operational and maintenance costs. Tech Sonic results play a role in sustainability and social strategies by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the consumption of clean water during cleaning activities, and transforming the traditional hydroblasting washpad to a cleaner, greener, and safer alternative.

The Problem

Did you know hydroblasting, your go-to for heat exchanger cleaning, has fallen short for nearly a century?

You’re correct to rely on hydroblasting—it’s been the industry standard for decades, blasting away soft deposits and loose debris from accessible surfaces with ease. It’s a familiar tool in your maintenance arsenal.

But imagine a strategy that tackles what hydroblasting misses—hardened scale, baked-on fouling, and hidden contaminants—while slashing risks and boosting equipment life. We’ll show you how industrial ultrasonic cleaning overcomes its limits for better performance and safety.

The catch? Hydroblasting struggles with complex exchanger areas, leaving residue that cuts efficiency and longevity. It can’t touch biofilms or mineral deposits, driving fouling, and its high-pressure jets risk worker injuries, equipment damage, or even compacted debris.

The Problem: Using hydroblasting to clean heat exchangers

The Value: Achieve faster, cleaner, safer, and greener results in cleaning industrial heat exchangers.

The Value - Why Is Better Heat Exchanger Cleaning So Important?

Scale, corrosion, and residues can dramatically reduce the efficiency of heat exchangers, which are essential for industries such as oil, gas, and petrochemicals.

75% Reduction in Hydroblasting Use: Tech Sonic’s ultrasonic cleaning dropped risky jet use by over 75%, keeping workers safer and equipment stronger.
21 Days Saved in Downtime: Cleaning four exchangers took 30 days with old methods; Tech Sonic did it in 9 days, giving you 21 more days to run.
23% More Output:A month after cleaning, ammonia production jumped 23% higher than previous years, thanks to exchangers running at full power.
24 Hours per Unit Turnaround: Each exchanger was clean in under 24 hours (8 hours in the ultrasonic tank, plus rinsing), beating the week-long jet method - source: CF Industries Fouling Removal.

Tech Sonic - A Key Part Of Your Sustainability Strategy

Could your heat exchanger cleaning be quietly costing you millions in wasted resources?

As plant managers and engineers, you’re focused on keeping refinery or chemical plants running smoothly—heat exchangers are critical. Tech Sonic’s industrial ultrasonic cleaning boosts their efficiency, cutting down on fuel and electricity your processes need, which lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

Unlike hydroblasting, which can use over a million gallons of water per exchanger, Tech Sonic reduces water use by more than 75%, shrinking wastewater and the emissions from treating it. You can also clean and reuse parts like filters and demister pads, saving big on replacements and reducing scrap waste.

The best part? It costs less than old cleaning methods—no need for new gear or bigger budgets. This reduction makes it a smart move for sustainability, cutting emissions tied to energy use, water supply, and wastewater handling, plus replacing parts that were once too hard to clean. It’s a practical step toward net zero that pays off without disrupting your workflow.
