ultra high pressure washing


 Cal Marine Cleaning LLC owns, operates and maintains quality Ultra High Pressure Washing, Water Jetting machines. Admac® 40000 psi and 200hp Jet Edge® 36000 psi, intensifier type, hydraulic over water, ultra high pressure washing, (UHPW) machines. The use of hydraulic fluid power provides smooth flowing UHP water resulting in quality water Jetting.

We also use the Gardner Denver® Vulcan Stripper® rotary guns. The Vulcan Stripper® has seen many years of dependable, continuous service in a wide range of industrial settings and circumstances. The Vulcan Stripper® delivers the power to clean the most difficult surfaces down to white metal quickly and cost effectively using a minimum amount of water. Ultra-High Pressure Water Jetting, produces a white metal surface standard equal to NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP12. Major paint and coatings manufacturers have developed coatings specifically for ultra-high water blasted surfaces. High pressure waterjetting is not only economical, but with so many environmental advantages it is becoming the preferred process for coating removal by many major industries.

It has been proven that marine paint removal with 40,000 p.s.i. water blasting removes more of the chlorides and soluble salts that cause future corrosion under new coatings. Other methods of paint prep often need pre washing to remove these contaminents. Ultra High Pressure washing saves this prewash step increasing quality and productivity.

EHC/Phosphate Ester

Hydrolytic breakdown is one of the largest concerns facing today’s users of Phosphate Ester EHC lubricants.  Hydrolytic breakdown occurs by exposing oil to heat and water during normal operation.  Once out of OEM parameters, the oil requires specialized treatment to bring it back into spec.

Hydrolytic breakdown causes the formation of acidic compounds in the oil, resulting in an exponential rise in total acid number (TAN).  Historically, Fuller’s Earth or Activated Alumina have been the recommended acid scavenging media to address this issue.  However, both media’s have their own negative contribution to the oil.

Although an effective acid scavenging media, Fuller’s Earth has a history of leaching detrimental heavy metals back into the system.  Activated Alumina, also an effective acid scavenging media, creates salts in the oil.  These salts adhere to metal parts, causing wear to surfaces.  Over time, the leaching of heavy metals or the addition of salts into any system can lead to a higher TAN than before.  Ion Exchange technology can reduce both the TAN and resistivity without negatively effecting to the oil.

Cal Marine Cleaning has the technical expertise, equipment and personnel to return our customer's out of spec oil to a like new condition.  With the latest in Ion Exchange technology and flow rates to 20gpm Cal Marine Cleaning can guarantee the short turnaround time our customers need.  Cal Marine Cleaning's Ion Exchange process has NAVSEA approval for use onboard U.S. Naval vessels.
