Professional Applications Of Ultra-High Pressure (UHP)

As an innovative technology for various removal, cleaning and maintenance activities, high-pressure water jetting is increasingly becoming the standard. For example, the use of water as a blasting and cutting instrument is less damaging both in terms of safety and in ecological terms. The amount of harmful waste or cleaning substances is greatly reduced when using waterjetting/waterblasting.

HOW TO DEFINE ULTRA HIGH PRESSURE?

Ultra-high pressure waterjetting is defined as cleaning with water pressures above 1,400 bar (21,000 PSI).

WITHIN ANY SECTOR, OTHER APPLICATIONS

Globally, the use of ultra-high pressure water can be subdivided into cutting, removing and cleaning. These global practices have been developed into a number of new applications within various industrial sectors. Over the years, the number of applications with this relatively young technique has increased considerably.

WELL-KNOWN AND MOST USED APPLICATIONS:

• CLEANING VARIOUS OBJECTS:
  Various materials have to be cleaned regularly in order to ensure the continuous processes and safety during the usage.

• SURFACE TREATMENT:
  High-pressure water jetting is recommended in nearly all relevant building codes and guidelines as a method for surface preparation.

• TANK CLEANING:
  Fast and through cleaning of tanks is necessary to disrupt the production process as little as possible.

• REMOVAL OF PAINT FROM STORAGE TANKS:
  Removing coating from tanks in an efficient and environmentally friendly way, compared to the use of shot blasting equipment.

• PIPE CLEANING:
  Pipes have important functions throughout industry. In order to fulfill these functions, the continuity of the flow must be guaranteed.

• CONCRETE RENOVATION:
  The primary goal of any concrete renovation is to remove the brittle spots without damaging the surrounding material or steel reinforcement. In contrast to a pneumatic hammer, whose power transmission goes deep into the joint and is transferred far into the building, high-pressure water jetting is very local and focused on the position to be treated.

• CONCRETE REMOVAL:
  Fast and cost-saving method where the yield can increase significantly.

• CLEANING OF FURNISHING:
  A clean, professional formwork is of vital importance for the quality of concrete surfaces. In order to ensure that no undesired pores, shrink holes and cavities are created, the formwork must be cleaned regularly and examined in bad places.

• CUTTING OF BOTTOMS:
  The company makes sure that there is no heat input in the material when cutting, in order to prevent any undesirable transformations. In this case, making the usage profoundly suitable in fire-prone environments. 

• CLEANING OF SHIPS AND BUOYS:
  High-pressure water jetting ensures an optimal cleaning effect of all surface treatment processes. The residual concentrations of salt, chloride and other substances are minimal.

• REMOVAL OF PAINT FROM SHIPS:
  High pressure water jetting makes it possible to carefully and in a controlled manner remove coatings & deposits without damaging the hull.

• REMOVAL OF ROAD MARKINGS:
  The water jet can also roughen the road surface or remove cement residue, curing or rubber tracks on runways. Damage to the surface is minimal.

• CLEANING OF DRAAVES:
  In rotary kilns for cement production, deposits are formed during the combustion process that are baked on the refractory masonry. This reduces efficiency.

• CUTTING OF PIPEWORKS:
  It is possible to cut very accurately with water. In addition, there is virtually no burr when cutting, which makes the cut finish ideal for subsequent welding.

• VARIOUS CUTTING APPLICATIONS:
  Thanks to the mobile installations, it is possible to carry out the cutting work at any desired location.

• SIEVE AND FILTER CLEANING:
  The functional power of screens and filters depends essentially on the condition of their surfaces. Continuous cleaning is necessary.

• CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER:
  Frequent deposits often occur in heat exchangers. Here clean surfaces form the basis for efficient heat transfer.
