Dry ice blast cleaning for nuclear power stations

Over the past few years Koeberg Nuclear Power Station has called on Isogenix many times to perform the dry ice blast cleaning of electrical equipment. This equipment includes:

• Main circulating sea water pump motors
• Condensate extraction pump motors
• Main generator
• Turbo-generator turning gear motor
• Various low-voltage motors and mechanical equipment

Isogenix’s dry ice blasting technique has been a highly effective cleaning method, particularly in the removal of caked oil residue or carbon on stator windings, rotors, laminations and wedges.

Advantages of dry ice blast cleaning

Dry ice blasting is superior to many traditional cleaning methods, as the dry ice is soft enough not to damage the underlying surface. In addition, with the dry ice blast cleaning process electrical equipment can be put back into service straight away, reducing downtime and ensuring that your plant stays functional and efficient.
