JPX Fin-Fan Cleaning Video

Here is a video of JPX-F in action!

JPX-F is a specially formulated version of JPX to be used for foaming applications in fin-fan and area maintenance cleaning. It is designed to create copious amounts of foam containing powerful chelating agents. We utilize the HVHC Foamer by Lafferty Equipment in our foaming applications. You can see a demo of the foaming application process here. JPX-F is especially good for removing sticky hydro carbon materials found in refineries. Some of our customers have experienced a 40-degree improvement with an average of about 20 to 30 degrees. By utilizing JPX-F and our innovative cleaning system refineries have enjoyed the following:

• Cleaning of the tube exteriors while not requiring entry into the shrouds
• No damage to tubes by personnel entering the shrouds and walking on the aluminum tubes.
• No damage by improper use of high pressure water, which can bend the aluminum fins.
• Deep cleaning of the interiors of the tube banks that cannot be done with a water wash.
• The effluent rinse is not harmful to the Effluent Treatment Plant or Biodigester.

How to Clean Fin-Fans while Online and its Benefits

By working at night, alternating fans and utilizing JPX-F from Jayne Products, a heavy duty cleaner, our industrial cleaning customers use a foaming procedure which cleans the fins while the unit continues to run. They have experienced as much as 40-degree improvement but the norm seems to be 25-30 F. The procedure uses a very small amount of liquid and produces copious amounts of foam.

Brief Outline of Procedure

1. Turn off and tag out fin fan motor
2. Block in fin fan inlets, and let cool.
3. Foam each fan shroud enclosure from above and below if possible. Pay particular attention to directing foam to the corners of the shroud to cover fin fan area evenly.
4. Use approximately 25 gallons per shroud. Wait 5-10 minutes then rinse with water spray from above.
