Chemical Cleaning and Decontamination

Chemical Cleaning Services

When faced with a highly technical and potentially hazardous fouling problem, there is simply no substitute for specialized expertise, proven experience and advanced chemical-based solutions. At Veolia Environmental Services, we are problem-solvers dedicated to providing technically advanced Chemical Cleaning services in a safe, efficient, and professional manner.

Chemical cleaning is the use of chemicals to remove various types of scaling, sludges and deposits using the science and properties of reactants and solvents for the purpose of dissolution.

We have more than 30 years of experience in the chemical cleaning of industrial process equipment, such as boilers, condensers, heat exchangers, pipelines, cooling water systems, lube oil systems, reactors and towers. We have successfully completed numerous “total” unit cleaning projects, such as alkylation units, crude units and quench oil system degassing and decontamination.
