How do you clean a jet engine?
Gas turbine engines are used to power aircraft, watercraft and power generators.
Typically they include an engine core, which has a compressor, a combustor and a turbine. The compressor pressurizes air to the combustor. In the combustor, fuel is mixed with the high pressure air and is ignited. Hot gas is created as a product of the reaction and is directed into the turbine where energy is extracted to drive the compressor and the fan.
Dry ice blasting effectively cleans casting molds and core boxes
The Progress Casting Group was looking for a more effective cleaning method for their low pressure casting molds.
Dry ice blasting removes surface corrosion and failed coating
Corrosion is a major problem on offshore oil platforms.
On an oil platform in the North Sea, the fabric maintenance team - who is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the platform - was working to remove corrosion and failed coating from gas lines within the gas compression module. The team also planned to recoat them.
Dry ice blasting improves weld line productivity
Welding is a dirty process.
On automated weld lines, slag, spatter, resin, smoke, oil and dampering adhesive build up on surrounding production equipment.
Dry ice blasting removes pitted corrosion for a more effective weld
The Little Creek Amphibious Base was having trouble removing pitted corrosion from the aluminum hulls of hovercrafts.
How to completely remove mold without harmful chemicals
When a homeowner detects a mold problem, it is never a pleasant experience, especially in a relatively new home. Newer homes are much more susceptible to mold issues than older homes.
Older homes are more resistant to mold growth because most were built with better construction techniques, materials and lumber than newer homes.
Dr. Neal Adrian, owner of Adrian Environmental, holds a Ph. D. in Microbiology from the University of Oklahoma and is very familiar with mold remediation.
A Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) hydroelectric generator in California had been out of service for several years.
Printer improves quality while reducing downtime and scrap
A commercial printing facility was looking for a way to clean presses without extensive downtime.
Build-up of ink and grease on printing machinery can cause misalignment and machine malfunction, which results in high scrap rates, lower quality and reduced production. Clogging of vent slots and material build-up on other components can also result in reduced print speed.
What is Dry Ice Blasting?
We get that question a lot. Dry ice blasting is also known as dry ice cleaning, which is why we also get the question, “Why would you clean dry ice?”
