BERALON Chemical Cleaning Services

Chemical Cleaning is an efficient, cost-effective way to remove corrosion, deposits, residual oils/greases, and other obtrusive contaminants from tainted surfaces. This process is used for passivation to eliminate fouling, oxidation, process system corrosion, and decontamination of process lines and vessels. 

Beralon Pty Ltd. Is a company that has over 30 years experience. We specialize in Marine and Industrial cleaning at our facility, or on clients plant and offer services in the following areas:

Pre-Commission Cleaning (closed systems)

New pipework installations on heating and chilled water systems will require the removal of contaminate debris such as           milli-scale, jointing compounds and building debris. These contaminants will increase the risk of blockage at strainers and     small bore control valves. Advances in modern day systems have made the process of pre-commission cleaning an essential procedure   to facilitate maximum plant efficiency. 

Existing System Cleaning (closed systems)

The cleaning of existing systems sometimes requires practical solutions tailored to the customers needs. It may, for example,    be desirable or necessary to keep heating or cooling systems operational whilst flushing and cleaning works to go ahead.   Beralon Pty Ltd has the solutions to suit the needs of individual clients. 

Inhibited Acid Cleaning 

Acid cleaning involves the circulation of a low concentration acidic solution to remove unwanted oxides and deposited scales from pipe surfaces. It can be performed in systems such as boilers, calorifier heat exchangers, condensers and cooling towers. The most commonly used acids for the removal of oxides and ferrous metals are inhibited hydrochloric acid and ammoniated citric acid. Inibited acids contain chemicals that form a protective film over system pipework in an acidic environment, preventing further corrosion to the pipework surfaces. Other organic acids may also be used for this purpose where availability and costs favour them.

Polymer Cleaning 

Polymer cleaners act by creating repellent forces between individual particles in solution. They are therefore able to break down loose surface deposits on pipework and ensure that they stay in suspension until the chemical is flushed away to drain.

Biocide Wash

Biocide washes are sometimes viewed as an essential precautionary measure in order to control bacteria and biofilms which may become established inside new and existing pipework. This is advisable as an additional stage of a chemical cleaning procedure. As water treatment specialists we have a range of biocidal treatments at our disposal, including chlorine, chlorine dioxide, silver peroxide or non-ionic biocides and biodispersants such as gluteraldehyde.

Pseudomonas has become extremely prevalent in water systems around Britain and Europe. Pseudamonas exists in biofilms which are resistant to many conventional biocides. Chlorine dioxide is a powerful broad spectrum biocide that strips biofilm effectively and destroys pathogenic micro-organisms, including Pseudamonas and Legionella.

Chlorine dioxide is traditionally made by mixing sodium chlorite with an acid. This process results in a concentrated acidic solution of chlorine dioxide which is prone to gassing and can also cause corrosion. This is unsafe and inefficient for this application.

Beralon also offer a range of disinfection services for down water services.
