During summertime peak electric power loads, power plant operators need all generators working at peak efficiency. They know that clean equipment is more efficient and less prone to catastrophic failure such as flashovers. Downtime from electrical flashovers in generators, switchgear, and substation equipment loses revenue, hurts customers, and incurs costly repairs and expensive rebuilding.
Dry ice blasting cleans electrical equipment in place, saving downtime and the labor cost of disassembly, moving to special cleaning locations like a dunk tank, and then reassembly. Damage during disassembly and reassembly is minimized by cleaning in place. Save solvent disposal and drying-time costs with dry ice blasting. Dry ice blasting equipment is portable and easily moved around the generating station.
Postponing cumbersome cleaning methods is tempting when you are counting the kilowatts. Dry ice blasting can save a lot of time and expense over other cleaning methods, while increasing electric service uptime. Dry ice cleaning is non-conductive and environmentally green. Better meter readings, for greater reliability at less cost, result from dry ice blast cleaning of electric utility generating station equipment.
