Carbon Footprint Reduction
Tube Tech Can and Will Reduce the Carbon Emission of your Facility
Fact: Effective control of unwanted deposits on heat transfer surfaces has a mayor part to play in care of the environment
Fact: Cleaning and maintaining plant assets can assist in the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Fact: CO2 emissions can be reduced by increasing heat recovery, cleaning in-situ, minimising waste, cleaning online and cleaning faster - all activities which Tube Tech International specialise in.
An example:
A 210 barrel per day refinery in the UK produces 2,320,641 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. The carbon emissions allowance for the refinery is set at 2,175,746 tonnes per year which means the refinery pays carbon tax of £16 for every extra tonne of carbon emissions - a total tax of £2,318,320!
Many feed effluent heat exchangers are positioned in a process in combination with a furnace. The higher the heat recovery of the exchangers the lower the CO2 emission from the furnace.
The heat exchangers at the above refinery were severely blocked meaning the heat recovery had been reducing over prolonged period of time. The reduced heat recovery meant the furnace was producing excessive CO2 emissions. Following a tube and shell side 'back to bare metal' clean of all the heat exchangers by Tube Tech International, the heat recovery of the exchangers dramatically increased and thus the CO2 emissions from the furnace were dramatically reduced.

Client Quote
"The gain equates to large financial savings to the power station. In addition, the PF plant will be subject to less stress therefore reducing maintenance costs together with reduced boiler emissions.
The Kyoto target for CO2 reduction was 10% for the UK. This item alone saves 0.5% of Lynemouth Power Station's CO2 emissions."
