RJM appointed distributor for IMPULSE cleaning system
RJM International is now selling the highly successful IMPULSE Cleaning System in the UK , Europe , and Asia-Pacific . More than 290 IMPULSE Cleaning systems have now been successfully installed at power generation units across the USA . They are enabling these power plants to operate campaigns of longer duration , with higher efficiency rates , and with reduced downtime between outages , by significantly reducing the build-up of fused ash deposits . The IMPULSE boiler cleaning system is a development of the pulse detonation propulsion technology pioneered by GE at its Global Research Center . The cleaning technology is based around a supersonic shock wave that is created by the detonation of a mixture of fuel and air . IMPULSE cleaning technology delivers dramatic improvements in the online cleaning of boiler heat transfer surfaces , when compared to conventional cleaning systems . The pulse waves also work effectively as a non-line-of-site cleaning system , removing deposits without erosive damage to heat transfer surfaces or refractory , unlike conventional cleaning methods . The IMPULSE system is also self-contained and does not need to tap into expensive plant steam .
