Clean Steam Generators and Piping

Why should I use Hydrosol System to derouge and passivate clean steam generators?

Clean steam is susceptible to rouging and magnetite. Magnetite is a mineral that is a type of iron oxide. It has naturally magnetic properties and is attracted by a magnet and is the most magnetic of all minerals on Earth. Accumulation of mill scale caused by magnetite is very common in clean steam systems. This can be a dense layer on the surface of the steel and can be very susceptible to corrosion and cracking. Derouging and passivation removes magnetite and provides a passive layer which helps prevent premature corrosion.

When using clean steam in a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical setting it is imperative the system is clean and free of contaminants to create a properly sterile environment. Corrosion can vastly affect the integrity and performance of your clean steam system and generator. Hydrosol System’s years of experience and state of the art cleaning procedures will ensure your clean steam generator is running at peak efficiency.

How can Hydrosol help?

A Hydrosol Engineer will visit your facility and create a customized chemical cleaning protection plan.  This will be based on your needs to protect your most critical assets from corrosion. A crew will mobilize during a scheduled outage or in an emergency situation. High purity pumps, filters and manifolds are used to circulate chemicals through the equipment. Instrumentation is used to monitor free iron and rouging. Information gathered will determine when your equipment is clean and safely protected. A custom turnover package will be presented upon completion of the job as a reporting record to validate system cleanliness.
