# Heat Exchanger Decon Eliminates Mechanical Cleaning

The Challenge: Removing Asphaltene Deposits Without Extensive Mechanical Cleaning

A large refinery in South America needed a comprehensive decontamination solution for a preheater train with six heat exchangers. Previous methods had left high H2S and benzene levels, with asphaltene-rich solids tightly adhering to the bundles, complicating extraction and requiring costly mechanical cleaning. The refinery sought a method that would eliminate hazardous contaminants, simplify bundle extraction, and reduce mechanical cleaning needs. Learn how ZymeFlow eliminated the hazardous contaminants and reduced costs for this South American refinery.
