Professional Industrial Cleaning Solutions

There are two main types of industrial cleaning methods that The Merrick Group uses to remove contaminants in the variety of tools and equipment that we typically service: mechanical and chemical.

Industrial Mechanical Cleaning Services

Mechanical cleaning involves physically removing dirt and debris using tools such as brushes, pressure washers, or sandblasters.

The removal of deposits, dirt, and rust may be done more precisely and with greater focus thanks to mechanical cleaning. To choose the best cleaning equipment, one must have a thorough understanding of the kind and degree of fouling.

Industrial Chemical Cleaning Services

Chemical cleaning involves using chemical agents to dissolve, emulsify, or otherwise break down contaminants, so they can be removed from surfaces.

This tends to mean circulating chemicals through the system to remove residue and debris.

Mechanical Cleaning Advantages

The following are some advantages of mechanical cleaning:

More focused and exact cleaning.
Reduces trash production.
Enables perhaps for a lesser staff size.

Chemical Cleaning Advantages

Some advantages of chemical cleaning methods are:

Cleansing is possible without taking the exchanger apart.
As every component of the separation is in contact with the cleaning chemical, cleaning is consistent and efficient.
Often faster than alternative cleaning techniques.
Less damaging to the device than alternative cleaning techniques.

Mechanical VS Chemical Cleaning Service

Mechanical cleaning and chemical cleaning can be used independently or together as part of a comprehensive cleaning process. For example,

Mechanical cleaning is used to remove heavy debris or loose materials.
Chemical cleaning is used to remove residual contaminants.
Chemical cleaning is used first to break down stubborn contaminants.
Mechanical cleaning to remove the remaining residue.

Choosing the right method depends on:

Contaminant type (scale, rust, organics, oil, biofilm)
System material and design
Cleaning frequency
Safety and outage limitations

The Merrick Group’s experienced staff will help you understand the benefits and guide you towards an experienced decision when choosing the right industrial cleaning service.

FAQs About Our Industrial Cleaning Services

How do I know whether I need mechanical or chemical cleaning?

It depends on the type of contamination, the material of the equipment, and the system conditions. The Merrick Group evaluates fouling levels and recommends the safest and most effective method or a combined approach for your specific power plant system.

How often should industrial cleaning be performed in power plants?

Most nuclear and thermal power plants schedule mechanical or chemical cleaning during planned outages or annual maintenance cycles. High-fouling systems like heat exchangers or condensers may require more frequent cleaning depending on operational load and water quality.

Can chemical cleaning damage equipment?

When performed by trained professionals, chemical cleaning is safe and often less abrasive than mechanical cleaning. The Merrick Group uses industry-approved chemicals to protect all system components.
