WtE plants maximizes maintenance efficiency and performance
Operation of vertical boiler without soot-blowers and manual explosion cleaning - successful conversion to P-WAVE generators.
The 6 m wide vertical JFe type boiler was originally equipped with soot blowers, which were later replaced by oxygen-based shock-pulse generators. Finally in 2024, these were replaced by three P-WAVE generators. Since then the P-WAVE generators are operated every two hours with similar cleaning efficiency and markedly lower operating and maintenance cost compared to the legacy oxygen based generators.

Based on these very positive results JFe-Engineering decided to use P-WAVE generators as a licensed product in Japan and India.
What our customers say - JFe-Engineering:
"Part of that award-winning technology, the pressure wave cleaning system currently widely used in Japan, uses methane gas and oxygen as fuel. However, the PWG pressure wave cleaning system adopted this time uses inexpensive propane gas and compressed air, significantly reducing operating costs. Furthermore, because it does not involve explosions in the pressure wave formation process, it has a simple structure and can handle a wide range of output adjustments with a single model, reducing equipment costs and making it applicable to various boilers. Our company conducted a one-year demonstration operation of this system and confirmed its stable cleaning performance and excellent economic efficiency, so we decided to officially adopt it."
