Rochem Fyrewash F3

A PURE, BIODEGRADABLE WATER-BASED DETERGENT FOR ON-LINE & OFF-LINE CLEANING OF COMPRESSORS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

FYREWASH®F3 was developed to give the maximum possible cleaning efficiency and effectiveness from a non-solvent chemical. When developing and testing FYREWASH®F3, Rochem's chemists evaluated all other leading non-solvent water-based chemicals to make sure that F3 would have superior cleaning qualities. This resulted in a nonhazardous, user-friendly and highly biodegradable water-based cleaner which now sets the standard against which the performance and cost effectiveness of all other true non-solvent water-based gas turbine compressor cleaners can be judged. Caution - some products are misleadingly sold as non-solvent, water based detergents when they actually contain as much as 10% of solvent in order to boost their cleaning capabilities. So if you want a true non-solvent chemical always carefully check the Material Safety Data Sheet of the supplier before purchasing. And if you do want a solvent based cleaner, please ask for details of Rochem’s FYREWASH®SB, F1 and F2 range of solvent-based cleaners

APPLICATION ON-LINE CLEANING

Is normally performed by mixing one part FYREWASH®F3 concentrate with four (4) parts of water into a stable solution. For very light fouling conditions based mainly on water-soluble contamination higher dilutions can be used. Use distilled or good quality demineralised water as required by the engine manufacturer. The volume of chemical solution needed per wash and the optimum cleaning frequency will depend upon engine size, operating  environment, fouling tendency etc. When using a Rochem injection system please consult your manual. FYREWASH®F3 can be used with any on-line/off-line injection system but for optimum cleaning results and economic usage of chemicals, Rochem offers a full range of patented manual or fully automatic atomising injection systems to suit any engine type. The low cost Rochem Efficiency Plus (E+) on-line, realtime efficiency and performance monitoring system is also available for use with any type of gas turbine.

OFF-LINE, CRANK WASHING

Concentrated FYREWASH®F3 is normally mixed with four (4) parts of good quality water. The solution is injected at cranking speed, allowed to soak for 20 to 60 minutes then thoroughly rinsed off at cranking speed with good quality water acceptable to the engine manufacturer. When using a nonRochem supplied wash system follow the engine manufacturers instructions for off-line washing. When using a Rochem-supplied injection system, please refer to your Rochem manual. Please also note that if using a Rochem injection system there is an option for an economy, short cycle off-line wash based on the initial injection of undiluted concentrate chemical instead of large volumes of water/chemical solution. This can reduce downtime and still give excellent cleaning results. Please contact your nearest Rochem office for full information on this or any other on-line or off-line compressor washing procedure.

 

FEATURES BENEFITS

Safely and effectively cleans compressors on-line when running at any speed and load.

The most effective non-solvent cleaner.

Meets the most stringent requirements of gas turbine manufacturers.

Ideal for light and frequent on-line washing of any type of industrial, marine or aviation gas turbine to maintain in-service output and fuel efficiency.

On-line cleaning avoids damaging shutdown/start-up thermal cycles and starter wear and tear which result from off-line crank washing.

Also ideal for off-line cleaning due to high biodegradability.

Non-flammable. Mixes readily with most antifreeze agents to allow sub-zero on-line/off-line cleaning.

Supplied in concentrated form to reduce transport and handling costs and minimise storage requirements.

Worldwide product support.

Backed by Rochems unique high value product liability insurance.

APPLICATIONS 

For on-line, fired wash cleaning of gas turbine and process compressors. Also for crank-wash, off-line cleaning of gas turbine and process compressors.
