Hydro Power Generation
Hydropower facilities face unique challenges from mineral scaling, sediment buildup, and biofouling on turbine blades, penstocks, and electrical components. Over time these deposits reduce efficiency, increase vibration, and raise maintenance costs. Crystal Clean’s non-conductive and residue-free dry ice blasting offers an ideal cleaning solution: it cleans without introducing moisture or conductive media, restoring optimal flow and performance with minimal risk to sensitive electrical parts. Combined with precision coating or painting, our services can extend uptime, reduce unplanned outages, and help hydro operators maintain safe, efficient operations.

Our Work
Related Projects
- In this 30’ long boiler, the build-up is restricting the heated air flow all of the way through the machine. Therefore, the machine is not running at 100 percent.
- The air flow is reduced by the build-up, which has a negative impact upon production and adds to wear and tear on the internal parts of the boiler.
- There is no other process that could clean it, besides dry ice blasting.
- The cleaning of this boiler requires no chemicals, sand, water, or hand tools - they would damage the fin tubes and piping.
