BOC offers solutions to restore your system to operational optimum. BOC brings its patented Hudson Technology, self contained, compact and portable high-speed decontamination equipment to site. It will fit through any standard doorway to the plant room. If uninterrupted production or cooling is essential, our equipment can function in-line, avoiding costly system shut downs.

 

If our equipment can be used off-line then the job will be completed faster, returning you to full operational capacity in the shortest possible time. We purify the refrigerant, separate out the oil, remove moisture, non-condensable, and any other potentially damaging particulates, and then restore your refrigerant and oil levels to their optimum.

 

We will then perform a post-rectification evaluation to compare performance before and after.

You will be amazed at the results we can achieve in such a short time.

How it works

The Hudson Technology operates on-line with no need for shutdown or down-time.This patented technique involves distillation; is not a filter process which other companies may offer. The technology operates at high process speeds, in excess of 2000kg/hour. The process removes excess oil and other contaminants, so that the system only contains refrigerant, you will then have an accurate measurement of the system charge size, and the amount required to top up

 

The Hudson Technology* distils the refrigerant at high speed due to its unique design, removing oil and other contaminants. Then to remove moisture, a Superdrier is attached to the outlet. This is a custom-made drier which can absorb over 10 litres of water, about a thousand times more than a typical system filter. Finally, to remove non-condensable gases we have our portable NCG Purger which separates air, nitrogen and other gases with little or no loss of refrigerant.

 

The system really works, in a single pass the refrigerant coming from the outlet of the drier is close to or within virgin product specification. Thus we can clean your refrigerant off-line by transfer from one vessel to another.

 

The Hudson Technology*  operates over a wide range of inlet temperatures and pressures, so we can also use it to clean your system on-line, circulating the refrigerant  until it is clean and dry. With regular sampling and on-line moisture measurement, you can see the difference as the process runs.

 

One of the great benefits is the ability to flush out evaporators, receivers, lines and surge drums with liquid refrigerant, washing oil and contaminants out and into the belly of the Beast. Simply replacing the system charge takes out dirty refrigerant, but oil can be found coating vessels and pipework, contaminating the new charge.

 

Typical examples of our satisfied customers:

 

  • An air separation plant in South Wales - restored system performance through off-line clean-up, saved five-figure amounts in electricity bills and allowed greater production.
  • Leading chocolate factory - removed excess moisture on-line following a failed water chiller, with no stoppage in production.
  • Major petrochemical plant - on-line clean-up at -40ÂșC after a failed compressor seal, allowing the unit to continue operating until the planned shutdown period.
  • Fishing trawler - clean-up following seawater entering the chiller from a failed condenser, allowing the system to restart and the vessel to leave port the following day.

Summary Benefits;

  • High speed on-line
  • Minimise down time
  • No interruption to production
  • Increased production capacity
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Reduced running costs
  • Improved reliability
  • No refrigerant losses (recycle programme is environmentally-friendly)
