VIGOR – FIN FAN FOAM CLEANER

VIGOR Fin Fan Foam Cleaner is a concentrated, high-foaming alkaline cleaner designed for cleaning fin fan heat exchangers in the petroleum, energy, and industrial sectors. Its biodegradable surfactants, water softeners, and rust inhibitor help remove heavy dirt, grease, grime, organic soils, and common industrial residues from aluminium and carbon steel surfaces.

VIGOR – FIN FAN FOAM CLEANER

Product Benefits

VIGOR Fin Fan Foam Cleaner is a concentrated, alkaline silicate-based, high-foaming detergent designed for low-pressure cleaning of aluminium and carbon steel surfaces. It effectively removes grime, dirt residues and organic soil deposits from fin fans and industrial heat exchanger surfaces. The pH of Vigor has been designed to not cause or allow corrosion to sensitive parts yet is able to remove most common industrial residues.

 

  • Designed for fin fan cleaning: VIGOR is formulated specifically for removing fouling from fin fan heat exchanger surfaces.
  • Helps restore airflow: Removes dirt and grime that can restrict airflow through fouled fins.
  • Supports heat-transfer efficiency: cleaner fin surfaces can help equipment operate more efficiently.
  • High-foaming formulation: Producing a thick foam, Vigor Fin Fan Foam Cleaner is designed to remain in contact for an optimal 30 minutes and provides the capacity to penetrate and remove soils without their subsequent re-deposition.
  • Suitable for aluminium and carbon steel formulated as an alkaline cleaner for common fin-fan construction materials.
  • Biodegradable surfactants: Uses biodegradable cleaning agents to help break down and remove industrial soils.
  • Contains a rust inhibitor Designed with a pH intended to minimise corrosion concerns on sensitive components.
  • Combines water softeners: Assists cleaning performance in demanding industrial environments

 

Your Questions Answered

How do you clean fouled fin fan heat exchangers?
Low-pressure foam cleaning provides broad coverage across contaminated fin surfaces and allows the cleaning solution to remain in contact with the fouling. VIGOR Fin Fan Foam Cleaner is designed to loosen and remove accumulated industrial soils before rinsing.
What chemical is used to clean air-cooled heat exchanger fins?
For heavily fouled air-cooled heat exchangers, an industrial cleaner should provide effective soil removal while being suitable for the equipment materials. Biocel supplies VIGOR, a concentrated foam cleaner developed specifically for fin fan cleaning applications.
What is the best cleaner for aluminium heat exchanger fins?
The right cleaner needs to deliver effective fouling removal while being formulated for the surface being cleaned. Biocel supplies VIGOR for aluminium and carbon steel applications, with a rust inhibitor included in the formulation.
How long should VIGOR Fin Fan Foam Cleaner be left on the fins?
VIGOR is designed for approximately 30 minutes of contact time. This allows the foam to remain on the surface and work into accumulated deposits before rinsing.
Can cleaning improve airflow through a fin fan heat exchanger?
Yes. Dirt and other deposits can restrict the passages between fins. Removing this fouling can help restore airflow and support heat-transfer performance, depending on the condition of the equipment.
Does VIGOR contain corrosion protection?
Yes. VIGOR contains a rust inhibitor and has been formulated with a pH intended to provide effective cleaning while reducing corrosion concerns for sensitive components.
What should I consider when choosing a fin fan cleaning chemical?
Consider the type and severity of fouling, fin material, application method, contact time, corrosion requirements and environmental considerations. VIGOR combines these requirements in a purpose-designed solution for industrial fin fan cleaning.
Where can I find a fin fan cleaning chemical for an industrial maintenance program?
Biocel supplies VIGOR Fin Fan Foam Cleaner for industrial maintenance teams requiring an effective solution for fouled fin fans and air-cooled heat exchangers. Designed for low-pressure application, VIGOR provides extended foam contact to help tackle stubborn industrial contamination.
