A Major Electricity Producer in the Northern United States had serious problems in cold winter months with a "lighting off" system to fire their coal burning furnaces. Because the LPG did not immediately vaporize, the potential of severe income loss was likely. The utility found that by treating their LPG with Vapo-Kleen®, freeze-ups and other troublesome standby fuel start-up problems were eliminated.
A Military Housing Facility in Maryland using LPG for residence heating discovered heavy ends and oil were leaving a buildup of a gummy residue similar to grease in the fuel systems and regulators, restricting the flow of gas. Labor costs to regularly clean these components caused the contractor to expend thousands of dollars just to keep the system operating. Upon using Vapo-Kleen and our automatic injection system developed for such bulk storage installations, all of these problems were eliminated.
Major Manufacturer's LPG Standby System was across the parking lot from the plant. The 2" gas vapor supply line was buried under the parking lot. Due to the difference in temperature above and below the ground, and the distance the vapor needed to travel, the underground supply line would fill up with a residue similar to grease (heavy ends or long-chain hydrocarbons), restricting the flow of gas. The long supply line had to be cleaned out regularly along with the regulators. After installing an automatic Vapo-Kleen® injection system, heavy-end problems were entirely eliminated. The maintenance staff no longer has to clean out the long gas supply line which was a time-consuming chore. Furthermore, the LPG vaporizes immediately upon demand on very cold days, reducing the need to use expensive natural gas.
