COMPANY EXPERIENCE

RTA has been acid cleaning boilers for many years, guaranteeing 95% to 100% clean, and has achieved the expected results.

WHY USE AN ACID RINSE?

With an acid rinse, RTA is able to use less acid, less manpower, and the customers' cooperation to achieve almost the same results of a complete guaranteed-result acid cleaning.

Less acid means less stress on the boiler.

Less RTA manpower means significantly reduced costs.

A customers' cooperation means the acid rinse is performed during a boiler tear down, minimizing any extra cleaning time for the customers' employees.

HOW DOES ACID RINSE WORK?

RTA gives the customer complete instructions.

The customer prepares the boiler with injection fittings and vent fittings.

RTA pumps in the acid and supervises the heating process.

An RTA representative returns the next day after the customer has rinsed out all boiler sludge.

The results are mutually evaluated by the customer and the RTA representative.
