The processes can be completed quickly, within two to five days depending on the size of the
system. However, there are many variables to consider so contact us to discuss your business’s
requirements and we’ll be able to give you a more accurate estimate.

We keep all the chemicals needed for effective derouging, passivation and biofilm removal in
stock, so we can provide a fast response to protect your equipment, rather than keeping you
waiting for weeks.

Our chemicals are chosen to meet the criteria set out in the various industry recognised
specifications. In the main, they are proprietary blended products, produced by companies who
specialise in the pharma industry (Steris and Ateco-Tobler), in cGMP compliant manufacturing
facilities.

We recognise the importance of compliance with regulatory bodies such as the MHRA and FDA.
Our chemical cleaning processes adhere to stringent guidelines, ensuring product safety and
quality control to meet all current regulatory requirements, including ASME BPE and ASTM A967.

As the process varies according to the scale and scope of each project, we will be pleased to offer
you a free, no-obligation quotation that is tailored to your needs. Simply call us to find out more.

Our chemicals are chosen to conform with recognised specifications such as ASTM A380 and BSRIA BG-29, etc. In the main, they are selected to effectively remove the offending contaminant. Highly formulated degreasers are used to clean oxygen systems. Various inhibited acids tend to be used when removing scale. Wherever possible, we chose pH neutral and non-hazardous chemicals to minimise risk to your plant, our operatives and the environment.

Wherever possible, we will minimise the environmental impact by using chemicals which are known to be non-hazardous and can be easily collected and disposed of. Where this is not an option (with stainless steel pickling for example), our highly trained operatives use carefully controlled processes to ensure that all legislative and client safety requirements are strictly adhered to. At INOX Passivation, we also fully comply with the globally recognised ASTM regulations to give you peace of mind about the quality of our services.

Chemical cleaning in the power generation industry is best performed as part of a planned programme of preventive maintenance and depends on equipment usage and industry standards. As every application is different, we can provide you with specialist advice to ensure your equipment is fully protected from degradation.

The passivation and derouging process can be completed in as little as a couple of days depending on the size of the system. We will work with you to minimise downtime and ensure that your business operations can operate as near to normal as possible.

Most chemical cleaning activities can often be completed from two to five days, depending on the size and complexity of the system. We’ll be pleased to offer you a more accurate timescale so please get in touch with our team.
