The Midwest Utility Case
A Midwest power utility faced a tough challenge:
- Problem: Heavy calcium carbonate (calcite) deposits in condenser tubes resisted all standard mechanical cleaning methods. Multiple service providers had tried—and failed—to restore performance.
- Solution: Curran’s dry-grit blasting technology, applied with precise, repeatable methods.
- Result: Tubes returned to service quickly with an 85% cleanliness factor, verified by scope inspection.
Plant Manager Feedback:
“The Curran crew was excellent. The inspection showed good removal of carbonate scale. I can’t wait to see how our back-pressure measurements improve.”
