DECAMEX®: Online treatment for efficient and sustainable air coolers & air condensers.

A proven solution to sustainably improve the cooling performance of your industrial installations.

Industrial cleaning solution for air coolers and air condensers in CTP environnement cabins

For 100 years, CTP environnement Group has been supporting industrial companies in controlling and optimizing their installations.

Industrial chemical cleaning, the Group’s historic core business, lies at the heart of our expertise and our ability to develop reliable, high-performance, and controlled processes.

The DECAMEX® process is an online treatment solution for air coolers and air condensers, based on the projection of a specific eco-compatible product.

It restores thermal performance and optimizes the energy consumption of heat exchangers with or without production shutdown, without generating waste and without damaging the equipment.

The DECAMEX® Chemical Cleaning Process

DECAMEX® is an air-side industrial treatment process that can be carried out directly on equipment while it is in operation.

It effectively acts on deposits located between the fins, which are responsible for performance loss, deterioration of heat exchange, and increased energy consumption.

Unlike traditional methods, the DECAMEX® process requires no production shutdown, no mechanical intervention, and no waste or effluent management.

Objectives of the DECAMEX® Process

Restore nominal operating conditions: airflow rate, static pressure, outlet temperature, and heat exchange performance

Remove deposits without corrosion or abrasion on finned tubes (DECAMEX process fully compatible with metallurgy)

Sustainably reduce industrial energy consumption

Limit waste production (biodegradable product dispersed in the air)

A High-Performance and Environmentally Friendly Process

Industrial Applications

The DECAMEX® process can be applied to all types of air coolers and air condensers, regardless of their configuration :

  • Forced draft
  • Induced draft
  • Cabin-type units
  • Platform-mounted units

It is compatible with all existing installations, without requiring any structural modifications.

FAQ

What energy savings can I expect after a DECAMEX® intervention?

Improvements in thermal performance and energy savings depend on the initial condition of the equipment and the level of fouling.

How long does it take to achieve a return on investment?

The rate of return on investment is calculated on an individual basis. However, returns are always very fast thanks to the immediate restoration of performance and the reduction in energy consumption.

Is the DECAMEX® process suitable for my type of installation and industrial sector?

The DECAMEX® process can be applied across all industrial sectors and to air coolers or air condensers with various configurations.
A preliminary technical analysis will determine whether the process is suitable for your installation and operational constraints.

My air coolers have finned tubes arranged in several rows; is effective treatment possible on all rows?

The DECAMEX® process is specifically designed to operate while the air cooler is running and to efficiently remove all types of deposits from all tube rows, while protecting the integrity of the fins.

Some tube surfaces are far from accessible work areas. Is cleaning still possible?

Yes, up to 10 meters. Beyond this distance, a means of access or lifting solution will be required.

Cyril, Business Unit Director – Industrial Chemical Cleaning

"Our Decamex® process stands out from traditional methods used to clean air coolers and condensers thanks to its innovative and high-performance characteristics on several levels:

  • Biodegradable product with no waste generation
  • Application possible on equipment in operation, avoiding productions interruption
  • Total compatibility with materials and metallurgy of industrial installations

Beyond its technical advantages, the Decamex® process also delivers a rapid return on investment. Our solutions significantly reduce energy costs whilst optimising heat exchange, leading to improvements in the overall performance of industrial installations.

Very shortly, thanks to the implementation of comparative measurements carried out before and after our operations, industrial partners will also be able to quantify these gains with precision in terms of carbon impact."
