What is Industrial Washing?
Industrial washing is more than removing residue. Foxx uses controlled cleaning methods to remove bitumen, scale, product, and other contaminants while protecting equipment and preparing it for inspection, rebuild, transport, or return to service.
- Pressure, temperature, and cleaning methods are matched to the equipment, with mild soaps used where appropriate.
- Wash water is captured and reused where practical to reduce fresh-water use and disposal volumes.
- Responsive scheduling, pickup and delivery, and quick turnaround help keep equipment moving.
- NORM management solutions are available when additional controls are required.
