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.”
