Abstract: Chuzhou, the eastern gateway of Anhui Province and a core member of the Nanjing metropolitan area, has risen rapidly on the strength of three pillar industries: renewable energy, smart home appliances, and salt chemicals. Everbright (Fengyang) renewable energy projects, together with home appliance giants like BSH and Konka and the Dingyuan salt chemical base, solidify the industrial foundation. As production expands, ash buildup, scaling, and corrosion in flue gas coolers, waste heat boilers, heat exchangers, spray pretreatment lines, and evaporative crystallizers have become increasingly severe. This article outlines Chuzhou industrial equipment chemical cleaning and high-pressure water jetting solutions to help enterprises run reliably and cut costs.

1. Chuzhou's Industrial Landscape and Cleaning Needs

Chuzhou sits in eastern Anhui Province, bordering Nanjing to the east and Hefei to the south, serving as a key node for industrial relocation along the Wanjiang urban belt. Leveraging its proximity to the Yangtze River Delta, Chuzhou has formed three pillar industries: renewable energy represented by Everbright (Fengyang) waste-to-energy projects, home appliance manufacturing led by BSH and Konka, and the salt chemical industry represented by China National Salt and Huasu.

Alongside rapidly expanding capacity come persistent scaling, corrosion, and microbial fouling problems, concentrated in three areas:

Renewable energy (waste-to-energy): Flue gas coolers, waste heat boilers, and heat exchangers at waste-to-energy plants such as Everbright (Fengyang) operate in constant contact with high-temperature flue gas, causing ash buildup, scaling, and corrosion on heat exchange tube bundles. When a flue gas cooler fouls, flue gas cooling efficiency drops and exhaust temperature rises, directly impairing waste heat recovery and downstream flue gas purification.

Home appliance manufacturing lines: Spray pretreatment (degreasing, phosphating) baths accumulate large volumes of phosphate sludge and oil residue over time, clogging piping and degrading coating adhesion. Supporting central AC systems and cooling towers develop algae and bacteria in the hot, humid summer, hurting heat rejection and posing hygiene risks.

Salt chemical equipment: Evaporative crystallizers, heat exchangers, and piping at the Dingyuan salt chemical base are in constant contact with high-concentration sodium chloride and sodium sulfate brine, causing rapid salt scaling that sharply reduces heat transfer efficiency, raises steam consumption, and can trigger under-deposit corrosion and perforation.

2. Technical Cleaning Solutions

2.1 Renewable Energy Equipment (Flue Gas Cooler) Cleaning

For ash and scale buildup on waste-to-energy flue gas coolers and waste heat boilers, we use a combined process led by high-pressure water jetting with chemical cleaning as support. High-pressure water jetting (35–70 MPa) first clears each heat exchange tube, removing ash, salt scale, and coking deposits; the steam/water side heat exchangers are then cleaned by circulation with a Sulfamic Acid and Citric Acid composite formulation and BTA inhibitor, keeping copper corrosion rates below 0.1 g/(m²·h). Flue gas cooler cleaning is typically scheduled during unit maintenance windows, with per-tube inspection to restore flue gas cooling and waste heat recovery efficiency.

2.2 Home Appliance Manufacturing Line Cleaning

Home appliance spray pretreatment systems use a combined "high-pressure jetting + chemical degreasing" process: high-pressure water jetting (15–30 MPa) first strips phosphate sludge and oil from tank walls and piping, then an alkaline degreaser with Surfactant circulates to remove residual oil film, followed by fresh-water rinsing and passivation. Pretreatment tanks should be cleaned 1–2 times per year to prevent coating pinholes and adhesion loss. Supporting central AC condensers and cooling towers follow industry standards of annual chemical cleaning and semi-annual disinfection.

2.3 Salt Chemical Equipment Cleaning

Salt scale in evaporative crystallizers is dominated by sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, which dissolve only slowly by chemical means alone. A combined "high-pressure jetting + chemical-assisted dissolution" approach works best: high-pressure water jetting (35–70 MPa) first fractures and strips the dense salt crust, then dilute acid or a specialized solvent circulates to dissolve the remaining thin layer. For heat exchanger tube bundles, mechanical drilling is combined with chemical circulation to keep tubes clear. Post-cleaning wall-thickness inspection identifies thinned tubes for replacement, preventing under-deposit corrosion perforation and leakage.

4. Local Case Study

Background: In May 2026, the flue gas cooler of a waste-to-energy unit at Everbright (Fengyang) Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. suffered severe ash and scale buildup on its heat exchange tube bundles after extended operation, reducing flue gas cooling performance and raising exhaust temperature, which impaired waste heat recovery and downstream desulfurization/dedusting stability. The tubular flue gas cooler contains several hundred tubes in constant contact with high-temperature, dust-laden flue gas.

Diagnosis: On-site inspection found ash deposits 2–4 mm thick on the flue gas cooler tube surfaces, with some sections blocked by fly ash and sulfate scale. Flue gas side pressure differential rose, exhaust temperature ran about 15°C above design, and waste heat recovery dropped markedly.

Solution: High-pressure water jetting (45–60 MPa) was used to clear each flue gas cooler tube, removing ash, salt scale, and coking deposits; the steam/water side heat exchangers received chemical cleaning and oxygen removal protection in parallel. The work was completed within the unit maintenance window, with per-tube inspection to ensure clear tube paths and replacement recommendations for worn or thinned tubes.

Results: After cleaning, the flue gas side pressure differential recovered to design value and exhaust temperature dropped about 13°C. Waste heat recovery improved markedly, with simultaneous gains in generation efficiency and flue gas purification stability. The client endorsed the results and added the service to its annual maintenance plan.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should a waste-to-energy plant's flue gas cooler be cleaned?

We recommend annual cleaning for flue gas coolers and waste heat boilers, depending on fuel composition and operating load. Flue gas cooler cleaning is typically scheduled during unit maintenance windows using high-pressure water jetting for per-tube clearing. After cleaning we inspect each tube to ensure clear paths, and heavily fouled units may need cleaning as often as every six months.

Q: Can salt chemical scale be dissolved with chemicals directly?

Sodium chloride and sodium sulfate scale does dissolve in water, but dense crust repeatedly precipitated at high temperature won't come off by soaking alone. We first fracture and strip the hard shell with high-pressure water jetting, then circulate water or dilute acid to rinse the residue — roughly twice as fast as chemical cleaning alone and with lower chemical consumption.

Q: Will cleaning the spray pretreatment line disrupt production?

Degreasing and phosphating solutions must be drained for cleaning, so the specific line must be paused. We typically schedule work during weekends, holidays, or model-changeover downtime, coordinating with the production plan. A single tank can be completed in one to two days, with passivation applied during cleaning to extend tank life.

Q: Is service from Danyang convenient for Chuzhou clients, and is out-of-town pricing higher?

Danyang is just over an hour from Chuzhou by highway. Pricing is based on equipment type and cleaning scope, not distance — there is no travel surcharge. We maintain long-term relationships with clients in and around Chuzhou and provide complimentary pre- and post-cleaning inspections and water quality tracking.
