Scaling/Fouling Cleaning Power Exactly Where You Need It

Ultrasonic technology can lower your cost of doing business by reducing cleaning events, protecting equipment, and optimizing energy consumption. The Altum Technologies ZPD (Zero Process Downtime) ultrasonic system is a high-powered, software-guided solution that can be used to prevent and remove fouling and scaling without stopping production.

Attaches To Your Existing Production Environment

You will not have spend money to rip out equipment and infrastructure to implement this technology.

The novelty of this solution lies in its external application. You can attach the ZPD Ultrasonic system to any existing production environment, with no changes required to your equipment or process. Altum’s ZPD technology, a one-of-a-kind  solution, that combines traditional ultrasound cleaning with proprietary beamforming software. This unique fusion focuses cleaning power precisely where it’s needed, enabling effective cleaning of a predefined target point inside your equipment.   This technology is for innovators eager to optimize their operations without overhauling existing infrastructure.

Where Do Mills Put the ZPD

Where is scaling and fouling draining manpower, energy and financial resources. The specific applicability of Altum’s technology may depend on the details of the equipment design, the nature of the scaling problem, and the operating conditions within the mill.

  • Evaporators and Concentrators: This is one of the most common areas for using ultrasonic cleaning technology. The heat transfer surfaces of these devices are prone to scaling, which reduces their efficiency. Ultrasonic cleaning can remove the scale buildup without needing to shut down the equipment. https://altumtechnologies.com/applications/evaporators/  
  • Piping Systems: Over time, the pipes carrying process fluids can also become clogged or fouled. Ultrasonic cleaning can help clear these blockages and maintain smooth operation.https://altumtechnologies.com/applications/pipes/
  • Filters: Various types of filters used in a paper mill, such as those involved in water treatment or process fluid filtration, can be cleaned using ultrasonic technology.
  • Recovery Boilers: These are another area where scaling can occur. While the specific application of ultrasonic cleaning may vary depending on the boiler design, it’s a potential area for application.

With ZPD, You’re In Control

ZPD is remotely monitored and controlled. You have access to predefined cleaning and prevention programs tailored to different needs. The ZPD Ultrasound control software allows you to focus the power exactly where it is needed inside the equipment, offering unprecedented precision. This solution is modular, allowing for scalability according to your needs. And with an easy-to-install clamp-on device, you can start destroying scale buildup with minimal setup time.

  • Where is scaling and fouling causing your bottlenecks?
  • Looking for a way to reduce the number of all too frequent cleaning cycles?
  • Want to learn how this could help optimize your production with increased energy efficiency?
  • Need to reduce your environmental footprint to meet sustainability targets?

Overall, Altum Technologies Zero Downtime Ultrasonic Cleaning offers a non-invasive and effective cleaning solution that can be applied to various areas within a paper mill. By using this technology, paper mills can improve efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and minimize downtime, resulting in higher productivity and profitability.
