General info
Payback within 6-24 months after implementation
Our Infrafone cleaners (low-frequency acoustic cleaning) improves the profitability of boilers. This has been achieved thru more efficient soot cleaning in e.g. economizers, air-preheaters and catalysts (SCR’s), with a general payback time of about 6 to 24 months. Traditional soot cleaning technologies such as steam sootblowing, shot cleaning, sonic cleaning (high frequency), and manual cleaning are generally heavily reduced or eliminated in these applications.
Our range of products is the result of our unique knowledge and our customer focus. We calculate the optimal size and design of the acoustic cleaner for each customer’s particular need and the spatial possibilities of each installation.

Infrasound cleaning case studies
EVO, Offenbach Germany
A case study and results from our infrasound cleaning installation on a coal-fired boiler at Evo Offenbach. EVO, Offenbach has two 110 MW Babcock-Hitachi boilers installed in 1989 for district heating and power production. These CFB-boilers were intended to be self-cleaning, consequently, no soot-cleaning device was installed.
Nässjö Affärsverk RP12, Nässjö Sweden
A case study and results from our infrasound cleaning installation on a biomass boiler at Nässjö affärsverk. Compressed air soot blowing is installed at Nässjö Affärsverk, but relatively ineffective because of the valves being mounted on the turning chamber, far away from the problem area. This results in the air pressure not reaching the problem area.
Sudzucker, Zeitz Germany
A case study and results from our infrasound cleaning installation on a coal fired boiler at Sudzucker
Lugnviksverket, Östersund Sweden
The infrasound system was installed in order to increase the efficiency of the boiler, by saving soot blowing steam, and to reduce wear on the tube bundles and the catalyst elements. The staff had concluded the damage of the catalyst elements was related to operation of the steam soot blowers.
