High Pressure Hydrojet Cleaning
Fleet of 9 hydrojet units up to 20,000 PSI for industrial cleaning of heat exchangers, boilers, piping and tanks in Venezuela.
In short: High-pressure water jetting (hydrojet) is the most effective and safe technique for removing scale, deposits and contaminants from heat exchanger tube bundles, boiler tube banks, process piping and industrial storage tanks. Unlike mechanical or chemical cleaning, hydrojet works with very high pressure water without abrasives or aggressive chemicals, allowing cleaning of delicate surfaces without damaging the base material. INCALCA operates one of the largest hydrojet fleets in Venezuela: 9 complete units from Gardner Denver and Aquadyne brands, with operating capacity up to 20,000 PSI working pressure and gauges calibrated to 40,000 PSI.

Heat Exchanger Cleaning
Heat exchangers accumulate deposits on the interior surface of the tubes that reduce the heat transfer coefficient by up to 40%. Hydrojet removes these deposits efficiently and quickly.
- Tube bundle cleaning: up to 3,000 tubes per work shift
- High-pressure lance jetting operation for process tubes
- Tubesheet face cleaning: hard and soft scale
- Shell side cleaning: sludge and deposit removal
- Thermal efficiency recovery measurement before and after
- In-situ or dismantled exchanger work
Industrial Boiler Cleaning
Fire-side tubes of fire-tube boilers accumulate dry soot and combustion scale. Water-side tubes of water-tube boilers form calcium deposits. Hydrojet eliminates both types of deposits.
- Fire-side tube cleaning of fire-tube boilers
- Water-side descaling of water-tube boilers
- Steam drum and dome cleaning of sludge and sediment
- Economizer and superheater soot and scale removal
- Grate and combustion chamber cleaning
Piping and Process Line Cleaning
Blockages in process piping can be caused by paraffin, polymer, sulfide, carbonate or other scale deposits. Hydrojet cleans lines significantly faster than traditional chemical or mechanical methods.
- Process line cleaning with pig traction equipment
- Paraffin, polymer and coke removal from process lines
- Header, manifold and fluid distributor cleaning
- Blocked line clearing without line opening
- Steam condensate, utility and drain line cleaning
Tank and Vessel Cleaning
Interior cleaning of crude oil, refined product and water storage tanks is a routine operation that INCALCA performs for Venezuelan oil sector producers.
- Crude oil tank cleaning: sludge and bottoms removal
- Two-phase and three-phase separator cleaning
- Process vessel cleaning: filters, skimmers, accumulators
- Confined space work with certified team and APR
- Solid waste handling and disposal per environmental regulations
