You’ll profit from reduced downtime and less process variation.

Chemical Cleaning Treatments

We commonly use the following chemical cleaning treatments:

  • Alkaline/solvent wash for hydrocarbon sludge removal from process equipment
  • Acid/chelant treatment for scale buildup on the inside of boiler pipes and tubes or cooling water service
  • Safe and non-toxic form of enzyme-based cleaning 
  • Safe and non-toxic form of enzyme-based, steam-assisted decontamination

In addition to performing the cleaning, Clean Harbors can contain, transport and dispose of all waste generated from the chemical cleaning process. In some cases, generated waste can be conditioned on-site during cleaning to meet your on-site treatment needs. This turnkey approach is unique to Clean Harbors and a major advantage for our Chemical Cleaning clients.
