Savings Far Beyond The Washpad
Minimizing Lost Profit Opportunity
Lost Profit Opportunity (LPO): The Painful Cost of Downtime
When production stops or efficiency drops during maintenance, the financial hit can skyrocket - millions of dollars per day lost. That’s LPO.
Want to cut that number? Clean faster.
Tech Sonic’s Washpad is built for speed, reliability, and results—giving turnaround and maintenance planners the edge they need to slash schedules, shrink risk, and reduce LPO in a big way.
What if Your Washpad Was the Fastest, Most Reliable Part of Your Shutdown?
It’s not a hypothetical. Our mobile operations have proven time and again that we can deliver like-new cleaning results in less than half the time it takes traditional hydroblasting - with none of the mess and far better outcomes.
Our ultrasonic cleaning process is so effective that it consistently delivers NDE-ready results on the first pass - no recleans, no delays. That means:
✅ Fewer Surprises
✅ No Schedule Creep
✅ Faster Inspections
✅ Lower LPO
Schedule-Slashing Results, Every Time
In every deployment, we’ve beaten the clock. Our teams have completed cleanings in a fraction of the time allocated, helping clients stay ahead of schedule and protect profits.
Now, operators are building Tech Sonic into their turnaround playbooks - not just as a cleaning tool, but as a schedule accelerator and risk reducer.
A Smarter Approach to Bad Actor Bundles
For routine maintenance between major shutdowns, our speed changes the game. Tech Sonic can typically clean a bad actor bundle to 100% in under 24 hours.
So instead of waiting for performance to drop to 50%, then spending a week to bring it back to 80% with hydroblasting, operators are:
✅ Cleaning earlier
✅ Cleaning better
✅ Cleaning faster
And all while reducing LPO.
More Uptime. More Output. More ROI.
With Tech Sonic, cleaning is no longer just a necessary evil - it’s strategic. Our fast, effective cleaning opens the door to smarter decisions, higher performance, and better returns on every maintenance dollar.
Don’t settle for slow. Don’t settle for dirty. Choose better, faster, cleaner. Choose Tech Sonic.
Reduced Washpad Cleaning Costs
Think Tech Sonic Cleaning Costs More Than Hydroblasting? Think Again.
Whether you’re testing Tech Sonic for the first time on your existing washpad or embedding it as your go-to solution, we’ll save you serious money on maintenance and turnaround cleaning.
On Your Existing Washpad: A Smarter Way to Clean
Trying us out at your next turnaround? Great call. We can provide the hydroblasting support or work alongside your current hydroblasting contractor to show you how much you’ll save.
Your costs will include:
✅ A reduced hydroblasting contract
✅ Tech Sonic mobilization, labor, chemistry, and equipment. We charge only for time our equipment is used - with a 6-hour daily minimum. On most washpads, rigging and bundle movement take longer than the actual cleaning.
Our ultrasonic process averages:
- <2 hours per bundle for shell-side cleaning + rinsing
- <6 hours per bundle for tube-side rinsing
- With just a 4–6 person crew
✅ Hydroblasting needs drop by up to 75%—meaning fewer blasters, faster cleaning, and way lower costs. That’s shorter shifts, fewer crane hours, and even the option to send crane and inspection crews home early.
✅ And the water savings? Huge. Less water in means less wastewater out - cutting treatment costs and hauling fees while eliminating water-related delays.
The Tech Sonic Washpad: A Game-Changer
A Tech Sonic washpad completely redefines your operations and changes the math. Designed for either permanent or Pay-As-You-Go setups, our integrated solution includes everything you need:
Permanent Gantry Crane - no need for a rental crane on the washpad, or the riggers. All of our operators are certified riggers, and moving bundles is made simple, safe, and fast with our unique bundle cradles, speeding up operations and saving you money.
Built-in lighting and basting barriers - eliminate the costs of setting up temporary lighting and hoarding on the washpad.
Permanent electrical, water, and steam hookups - the cost of diesel generators and last-minute scrambling to connect the required power, water, and steam supplies are gone.
All-electric operation - lose the diesel costs, reduce noise, and boost efficiency.
Massive water reduction - A reduction in the amount of water used reduces the wastewater handling requirement by 75% or more. Connecting directly to your ETP can eliminate the cost of wastewater transportation completely.
On top of that, our Washpad Management Software handles scheduling, budgeting, reporting, and tracking in real time. No more headaches.
Two Flexible Options:
Pay-As-You-Go
Need us only during turnarounds? We’ve got you. You pay for mobilization, equipment, operators, and chemistry—only when you use them.
Permanent Embedded Cleaning Solution
Want the maximum benefits? A permanent setup gives you 24/7 access to Tech Sonic cleaning. No mobilization costs. No downtime. And with full robotic hydroblasting, you can clean even faster with just a 3-person crew.
Need to scale up for a major event? Easy—we can temporarily boost capacity by adding more equipment and personnel.
Why Should I Go Permanent?
Because it’s the smartest way to clean. Period.
You’ll slash long-term cleaning costs, minimize waste, and rescue valuable parts from the scrap pile.
A New Washpad Not In Your Budget?
Interested in a modern, safe, and efficient washpad, but there's no budget for that? No problem. We’ll build and lease you a custom-designed washpad with zero capital expense.

Longer Maintenance Intervals
Turn Bad Actors into Profit Performers with Tech Sonic
Struggling with heat exchanger bundles that foul fast and cost you a fortune to maintain? Tech Sonic’s ultrasonic cleaning gets you back to like-new performance—something hydroblasting simply can’t deliver on your most badly fouled bundles. And when you start clean, you can run longer, clean less, and save more.
Here’s the bottom line:
If you return bundles to service at or near 100% of their design clean heat transfer capacity, you give yourself more room to maneuver within your heat integration strategy. That means more efficient production, longer run times, and lower annualized cleaning costs.
Let’s break it down:
Case 1 – Performance-Triggered Cleaning:
Clean back to 100%, wait until performance drops to 50%, and you extend the interval in this example from 6 to 17 months. That’s a 53% cut in annual cleaning costs and a 21% potential energy savings.
Case 2 – Fixed Interval Cleaning:
Clean once a year regardless of performance. You still slash annual cleaning costs by 34% and unlock an even bigger 28% energy savings.
Optimize your strategy - Take advantage of the faster better cleaning offered by Tech Sonic and strike the most profitable balance between extended runtime, reduced downtime, and energy savings.
Tech Sonic cleaning gives you the option to find the optimum balance between energy savings and maintenance cost reductions.
<-- And don’t forget that real-world FCC unit data from the Better Cleaning section:
Our client doubled their runtime and cut maintenance costs in half by switching to Tech Sonic. Faster cleaning also meant less downtime—an extra win.
With Tech Sonic, you’re not just cleaning better—you’re running smarter.
✅ Extend intervals
✅ Cut costs
✅ Boost energy efficiency
✅ And skip pit stops for your worst performers.
A Tech Sonic Washpad turns your maintenance bottlenecks into efficiency breakthroughs.
Reduced Capital Costs
How Much Could You Save by Cleaning the Uncleanable?
Every year, industries scrap millions in parts deemed “too fouled to salvage.” Traditional methods - like hydroblasting - either fall short, risk damage, or take forever.
Save those parts - and your budget!
Tech Sonic’s ultrasonic cleaning changes the game. Our powerful-yet-gentle cleaning tech is built for the stuff no one else can clean. We can clean nearly any part - fragile demister pads, intricate valves, even chain links and fasteners - without harm, restoring them to like-new condition. Reclaim those “uncleanable” parts instead of tossing them, and slash capital expenditure by millions.
Did a sudden upset cause unexpected fouling? Clean critical components fast - no waiting for replacements. Need to prep countless valves before inspection? Batch-clean them by the basketload, rinse and move on. Cleaner parts mean better repairs, smoother inspections, and less downtime.
A Tech Sonic Washpad will quickly become an indispensable part of your routine maintenance team, quickly returning things like filters, pump parts, piping and much more to like-new, saving you on replacement and disposal costs.
Stop scrapping and start saving. With Tech Sonic, “uncleanable” is a thing of the past.
