Water jetting systems for industrial decontamination

A system with the correct pressure, flow, nozzle set-up and a recovery arrangement suits most decontamination of surfaces, equipment, tanks, pipes and process areas. The recovery side matters as much as the pump, because contaminated water must be collected and managed.

Water jetting removes oil, grease, chemical residue, solvents, sludge, dust, scale and other surface contamination, depending on the application and set-up. Biological contamination from food and pharmaceutical equipment can also be washed off with the right pressure and nozzles. Tell us the contaminant so we can suggest a set-up.

It depends on the contaminant, surface and cleaning goal. Lower pressure suits lighter films and residues; higher pressure, up to 2800 bar, is used for hardened deposits and tougher industrial cleaning. Choose the lowest pressure that does the job to limit spray and splash-back.

In many decontamination jobs, yes. A recovery system collects and filters contaminated water so it can be managed safely, rather than running into drains, which is important wherever environmental rules apply to your site. Tell us the contaminant and expected water volume so we can size the recovery system.

Not when pressure, nozzle, spray distance and method are matched to the material and contamination. Water jetting is non-abrasive, but seals, gaskets, insulation and electrical items need lower pressure or protection. Tell us the materials involved so we can suggest pressure and nozzles.

Yes, with the correct hoses, lances, nozzles and safety controls. Lances reach inside pipes and vessels, and rotary nozzles cover tank walls evenly. Confined-space rules still apply to tank and reactor work. Tell us the vessel or pipe sizes so we can suggest lances and heads.

Electric suits fixed plant areas with stable power, such as a dedicated wash bay. Diesel suits outdoor, remote or mobile decontamination work where independent operation is needed. Both can be supplied on skid, trailer or vehicle mounting with water recovery. Tell us where the work happens and we will recommend the drive.

Yes. It relies on water and pressure rather than chemicals or abrasives, which reduces chemical purchase, handling and disposal and lowers worker exposure to toxic substances. It does not remove the contaminant from the waste stream, so collected water still needs proper treatment or disposal under your site procedures.

Tell us the contaminant, equipment or surface to clean, area or volume involved, pressure if known, recovery requirements, power source, mounting and whether you need automated control. Your site's safety and disposal requirements also help us propose the right controls and recovery system in one quote.
