Suncor would give us this… We would give back this…
How it Works The process removes contamination in one of two ways, and depends on the type of fouling deposits we are trying to remove. Some deposits are either dissolved or suspended in solution.
How it Works Other types of deposits remain, but no longer adhere to the tubes. The last step in the cleaning process is to rinse the tubes clear.
The Tech Sonic CLEAN: • Specialized ultrasonic bath • Combines: • Patented transducer technologies • Custom, size-engineered reflective stainless steel vessels • Targeted chemistries for optimizing the ultrasonic effect • The technical team
Engineered Solutions 28-foot 4-foot Our ‘engineered solutions’ approach means we design and build vessels to customer needs – 2-foot, 4-foot – up to 32-foot currently.

Economic Impact “We will save over $7 million dollars in our upcoming turnaround by replacing conventional exchanger cleaning services with Tech Sonic’s ultrasonic technologies.” International Oil Company – Canadian Refinery
Environmental Impact “Utilizing Tech Sonic Services’ solutions will save us over 11 million gallons of water and waste water in our turnaround.” International Oil Company – Canadian Refinery
Environmental Impact Green, also because of the amount of water we save in comparison to standard hydro-blasting methods. Green, due to our water based degreasers that can easily be reintroduced back into most API water filtration systems.

Impact Statement “For every dollar we spend with Tech Sonic, we save four dollars in operational and cost efficiencies. We used to have to throw out most of the components as they could not be put back into production. Our capital costs have reduced dramatically.” International Oil Company – Canadian Oil Sands Production Site
Our Commitment The Tech Sonic Process is a major contributor to operational efficiencies and revenue optimization. The singular goal is to return contaminated equipment and components, in “like-new” condition, back into operation faster and more cost effectivelythan any other solution.
