Blast Furnaces

Why should I use Hydrosol System to chemically clean my Blast Furnaces?

Blast furnace components begin to accumulate calcium, iron and other elements over time. It is important to keep your blast furnace and components such as water jackets free from scale and iron. These deposits can cause restricted water flow and may lead to equipment failure causing costly down time. Annual cleaning of your blast furnace can increase efficiency and extend the life of the furnace and components.
