General info
Payback within 6-24 months after implementation
Our Infrafone cleaners (low-frequency acoustic cleaning) improves the profitability of boilers. This has been achieved thru more efficient soot cleaning in e.g. economizers, air-preheaters and catalysts (SCR’s), with a general payback time of about 6 to 24 months. Traditional soot cleaning technologies such as steam sootblowing, shot cleaning, sonic cleaning (high frequency), and manual cleaning are generally heavily reduced or eliminated in these applications.
Our range of products is the result of our unique knowledge and our customer focus. We calculate the optimal size and design of the acoustic cleaner for each customer’s particular need and the spatial possibilities of each installation.

Infrasound cleaning case studies
Yufusan
A case study and results from our infrasound installation on Yufusan
SYSAV Kraftvärmeverk, Malmö Sweden
At SYSAV Kraftvärmeverk, Continuous shot cleaning was used for keeping the economizer clean as well as the convection area. The power plant had to shut down the boilers for manual cleaning of the economizer and the convection area every 10- 12 weeks.
Fortum Naantali, Naantali Finland
A case study and results from our infrasound cleaning installation on a coal-fired boiler at Fortum Naantali. Fortum Naantali power plant uses coal as the main fuel. Heavy fuel oil is used for start-ups and as support fuel. Refinery gas is also used. The two boilers each have two air preheaters, each with an Infrasound generator installed below the rotor on the flue gas side.
Block 7 and Block 8, Rybnik Poland
A case study and results from our infrasound cleaning installation on a coal fired boiler at Block 7 and Block 8 Rybnik. At Block 7 and Block 8 Rybnik, the infrasound generators were installed when retrofitting the boilers with SCRs.

Improved sustainability strategy for the energy sector
THE IPCC 2021 presents clear evidence that our planet is in a catastrophic state of urgency to stop global warming. Human influence has affected the atmosphere, ocean, and land. Why do we, in the energy sector, need to take responsibility?
How to master the fouling challenges with biofuel- and waste-to-energy boilers
The driving force behind this is to contribute to the sustainability goals. Since biofuels burn faster and cleaner than fossil fuels, they will release greenhouse gases at a lower and slower rate. Secondly, the use of biofuels will allow the economy to reap its benefits.
