In Thermic fluid system, Thermic fluid deteriorates because of continuous operation and need to be replaced.

The main reasons of deterioration are

  • Oxidation
  • Contamination
  • Cracking

Deterioration of thermic fluid causes carbon depositions in Thermic fluid piping and utilities.

The contaminated oil has to be removed fully from the Thermic fluid system before the new oil addition. Life of the new oil is also mainly depend on the Decarbonization of Thermic fluid piping and utilities.

Apex Therm Carbonil 150 (OFF line Decarbonization Compound)

Apex Therm Carbonil 150 is a unique blend of a Strong penetrant, Surface active agents, detergents, effective corrosion inhibitor, & Accelerator. By circulating it in entire thermic fluid system, we can remove the Hard carbon depositions from the piping and equipments. This will lead to improvement in heat transfer of the entire system & also it will product the new oil contamination by the deposited carbon.

The strong Penetrant helps to remove the deposited carbon. The Penetrant loosen the bond of carbon with the metal and remove it from the metal. This penetrating process is supported by accelerator which ensures complete removals of Hard carbon deposits. The surface-active agents & detergents helps flush out the residue of penetrants with carbon & also keeps the system clean with exposure of the fresh surface of scale (carbon) for the further penetration. Strong corrosion inhibitor protects the entire metallurgy from any pitting and corrosion.

Procedure for Apex Therm Carbonil 150 Off line Decarbonization.

  • Bring the Thermic fluid Temperature to 150OC
  • Add the recommended dose (6% to 8% by volume) of Carbonil 150 to the system
  • Circulate for 48 hours.
  • Check for deposits at the accessible area like flanges, utilities etc.
  • Then drain the entire Thermic fluid.
  • Apply compressed air to ensure the complete draining of the system
  • Add new Thermic fluid to the system.
  • Heat up the system more slowly from temp. 90 - 150ºC. Some fumes / smell coming out if traces of cleaning chemical is remaining in the system.
  • After reaching the required operating temperature, start the production equipment and utilities

Apex Therm Carbonil 300 (ON line Decarbonization Compound)

Apex Therm Carbonil 300 is an online Decarbonization and cleaning compound which helps to remove the carbon depositions without any shutdown & production stoppages.

Apex Therm Carbonil 300 is a strong blend of a Strong penetrant, Surface active agents, effective corrosion inhibitor, & Accelerator which can withstand high operating temperature of thermic fluid system.

Along with Apextherm Filtia On-line Carbon filtration system, Carbonil 300 can be used as a preventive measure for carbon deposition.

Carbonil 300 will help to increase the heat tranfer rate by removing the carbon scales from the utility section. The removed floating carbon can be trapped by using Apextherm Filtia On-line Carbon filtration system.

Based upon the level of carbon deposition in system, the recommended dosage of Carbonil 300 may vary from 2% to 5%.

As a preventive measure, the dosage can be done once in a year.

APEXTHERM FILTIA On-line Carbon filtration system

ApexTherm Filtia is the on line filter designed for Thermic fluid system. It will filter carbon, ash, corrosion products, Viscous contaminants continuously.

This filtration system does not require additional pump for filtration. It has to be connected between Thermic fluid coil outlet line & Return line which is connected to Deareation Tank.

Investing in thermal fluid filtration can help you to operate a cost-effective system. Regular fluid monitoring and filtration will avoid downtime caused by seal wear on pumps and valves. Thermal fluid filtration can also lead to energy savings.

Filtration Benefits

  • Extend Service Life of the Hot Oil
  • Reduction of System Maintenance
  • Reduction of Wear and Tear on Seals
  • Improve Heat Transfer Efficiency
  • Reduces Sludge Build-Up, Thereby Improving Viscosity of Fluid
  • Design for Operation up to 320°C

Apextherm Filtia On-line Carbon filtration system comes with following:

  • MS powder Coated Housing with legs
  • SS 304-micron cartridges (welded and reusable 25 and 10 micron)
  • Matching flanges for Outlet, Inlet and Drain
  • Liquid filled Pressure gauges (2 Numbers)
  • Outlet and Inlet pipes
  • Drain pipe
  • Pipe line fabrication, isolation valves, any civil works & Insulation and stands are in your scope
