In the production of most chemicals or petrochemicals, the internal surfaces of reactors and vessels must be cleaned on a regular basis. There is usually a build up of contamination on the reactor walls and on the agitator blade surfaces. This build up results in inefficiencies and also the risk of down stream contamination due to debris falling off. 

Likewise cleaning of jackets of vessels is as much as important as cleaning of reactor vessel. If a reactor jacket becomes fouled, a plant can face serious consequences. Over time internal fouling of the jackets in vessels reduces heat transfer efficiencies, increases reaction times and decreases yield by as much as 15%. In addition, this loss of efficiency can lower a plant's profitability due to the production of off-quality product, increased maintenance expense and higher capital costs due to shorter equipment service life.

Clean reactor vessels result in faster batch runs, lower plant operating costs and less down time due to downstream contamination. To achieve these results, regular cleaning of reactor by high pressure jet systems is required. Cleaning of reactor by high pressure jet systems improves heat transfer efficiency, resulting in production and efficiency gains ultimately lowering a plants total cost of operation.
