Industries : Pulp and Paper
MPW works closely with pulp and paper mills to develop industrial cleaning programs to improve productivity, quality and environmental compliance. Poorly maintained process equipment results in unscheduled maintenance, shutdowns and costly production losses to a mill. MPW can reduce the length of unforeseen shutdowns through a comprehensive analysis and optimization of operating systems, resulting in major costs savings to a mill.
Scale build-up on boiler tubes, salt cake in the upper furnace, smelt bed, refractory and clinkers in the firebox all mandated specialized industrial cleaning procedures. Depending on the severity of the cleaning project, MPW's highly skilled work force coupled with an extensive fleet of 10K and 20K p.s.i. high-pressure waterblast pumps increase hydroblasting intensity where needed. MPW engineers and fabrication technicians customize automated lancing systems, waterblast nozzles and retractable tooling to enter at inspection ports, confined space areas and remote and inaccessible areas, minimizing safety risk to personnel. MPW's Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Waterjet Technology (40K p.s.i.) is valuable when 10K or 20K p.s.i. hydroblasting is not effective. UHP technology preps dryer drums for inspection, removes the most adherent scale, mastics, phosphates, coatings, coke, black liquor and refractory.
We provide cleaning solutions and increase efficiencies in all areas of the mill, including recovery boilers, pulp mills, bleach plants, stock preparation, paper machines, ponds, chemical recovery, coating, kraft digesters, waste treatment and wood yards. MPW's diversified services enable our clients to prosper in today's competitive environment.
