The effective response to fouling and plugging problems
After HP washing. Normal soot blowing.
With the Enerjet™ cleaning system, the product of long-term research and comprehensive
field testing, Howden have created a highly cost-effective solution to some of the major
causes of impaired performance and unplanned outages in air preheaters for all applications.
