Problem
Fouling and scaling in industrial processes lead to reduced efficiency, unplanned shutdowns, increased energy consumption, and the use of hazardous chemicals for cleaning. Traditional cleaning methods often require halting production, resulting in significant downtime and lost revenue.
Solution
Altum Technologies provides a software-guided, high-power ultrasound technology that prevents and removes fouling and scaling in industrial equipment without process interruption. The technology utilizes beamforming techniques to precisely target and sonicate materials, enhancing process efficiency and reducing the need for chemical cleaning. Altum's ZPD (Zero Process Downtime) solution is installed externally, eliminating the need for equipment disassembly or process modifications. The system is remotely monitored and controlled via IoT, and employs AI for optimal performance.
Target Audience
Altum Technologies serves industries including pulp & paper, mining & minerals, energy, oil & gas, nuclear, food & beverage, water, and chemicals, targeting plant operators and maintenance personnel seeking to improve process efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
