Ultrasonic Cleaning Applications

Introduction

Since 1973, Ralsonics has been supplying ultrasonic cleaning equipment of all sizes spanning 15 industries. Our equipment is known for its reliability. We fully understand the requirements and processes of our customers before specifying any equipment for use. Owing to over four decades of experience in ultrasonic cleaning, we have learned and developed best practices for cleaning components in each industry.

Oil and Gas industry

In the oil and gas industry, performance is critical to profitability. For this, all the components must operate at the highest possible efficiency. Large parts have built up contamination which must be cleaned to ensure maximum output. Clogging due to limestone, tar and oil must be cleaned out. Power washing typically used in the oil and gas industry is a line of sight cleaning technique. For components that require cleaning of inaccessible sections, ultrasonic cleaning is the solution. Ultrasonic cleaning using cavitation bubbles ensures that every nook and cranny is cleaned.

 

Ralsonics’ ultrasonic cleaners are well known in the industry to provide ultra-fast and thorough cleaning for oil and gas components ranging from drills to filters. Ralsonics has a large range of products (multistage cleaners, emission free vapor degreasers, ultrasonic cleaners), catering to every possible component that needs to be cleaned in the oil and gas industry.
