    The challenge

    Our customer takes their environmental responsibilities seriously and has won many awards for their commitment to sustainability.

    As the constant flow of chemicals would cause the tubes in its air fin cooler to erode over time, the company was planning to replace the whole bundle after three years.
    However, the company opted for Kelvion’s Service as an interim and precautionary measure which was cheaper, less time consuming and more sustainable than a whole bundle replacement.

    Leading technology
    Kelvion Services leads the way in in repairing damaged and leaking tubes and tube seals. Full length Tubeliners can be installed without costly downtime and will extend the life of the heat exchanger.
    The work was commissioned at the beginning of 2023 and completed a day ahead of schedule.

    The result
    Our customer was so satisfied with the work that it is planning to commission Kelvion Services for more plants in 2024.
