Rapid-response cryogenic cleaning service

Based in the UK, CryoGenesis UK provides a 24/7 global rapid-response on-site cleaning service, including travel, transport and set-up of equipment.

Benefits of cryogenic cleaning for the power industry

Key benefits of employing cryogenic cleaning in the power industry include:

• Significant reduction in outage time
• Elimination of secondary waste
• Non-abrasive — will not cause damage of windings and intricate mechanisms
• Non-conductive
• Non corrosive
• Clean in-place — minimum disassembly
• Improved insulation resistance (IR)
• Maintenance of a safe distance from sharp or moving parts
• Assistance in fault-finding by eliminating contamination
