Heat Exchanger Cleaning and Bundle Pulling
Maximising performance, minimising downtime
InterGroup provides comprehensive tube cleaning and bundle pulling services. Using a combination of state-of-the-art automated lancing systems and skilled manual techniques, we remove scale, debris and fouling from exchangers across geothermal, oil and gas, chemical and food production sectors.
Build-up of scale, sediment, organic residue and hydrocarbon by-products in heat exchangers can severely compromise thermal efficiency, drive up energy costs and put critical process operations at risk. For our customers, this can mean increased operational expenses, production delays and potential non-compliance with performance or safety requirements.
Regular cleaning and bundle pulling are vital to restore optimal flow and heat transfer, ensuring system longevity and compliance.
Our capabilities include:
- Single to five-lance automated cleaning systems
- High-pressure cleaning from 200 to 3000 bar
- Data extraction and cleanliness validation
- Manual and fully automated bundle pulling
