A system that uses ultrasound to stop industrial fouling.
Altum’s solution is meant to clean and/or prevent fouling in industrial production equipment like pipelines, heat exchangers, evaporators, valves, and more, without having to stop production or use toxic chemicals. This is done with Altum’s high-power ultrasound solution that is guided by software. The plug and play system is clamped on from the outside, so the target equipment doesn’t need to be changed for the solution to work. It is well known that dirty industrial equipment is a big cause of greenhouse gas emissions because it takes more energy to keep up with production needs when the equipment is dirty. This means that industrial companies like LafargeHolcim can reduce their CO2 and NO2 emissions and have a better handle on them. They can also keep production going nonstop and improve the quality of their products thanks to clean production infrastructure.
