Online Cleaning Technologies is the world’s only provider of patented and standard solutions to clean industrial installations, while the installation is in full production.
Shutdowns can be prevented and downtime reduced substantially.
To optimise efficiency, each customer receives a tailored cleaning plan based on the specific design and needs of their installation.
Our high velocity Patented Linear Cleaning method is the only solution to provide a full online cleaning service without the need to shut down or stop.
Our Standard Stick Blasting solution is used for offline and online cleaning.
This method, which can be administered online or offline, involves inserting a compressed gas tube directly into the build-up that you want to remove.
Water Cannon focuses high-pressure shots of water or a plastic ball to remove build-up.
At industrial sites where heat is generated and inspection of facilities by conventional means is not possible, Online Cleaning Technologies is able to offer options for visual inspection while the boiler/plant remain in operation.
The production of energy involves the combustion of material to create heat and produce steam to drive turbine generators which produce electricity.

Using our Online Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard our boiler and process engineers can track and analyse plant performance in real time both during, and after cleans.
Our Patented Linear Cleaning from Online Cleaning Technologies is the only proven solution enabling complete industrial cleaning of the installation guaranteed without shutdown or stop. The installation can be cleaned completely while it remains in full production at extreme temperatures.
Industrial cleaning with explosives sounds controversial at first instance, but for safety and sustainability it has proven to be the best solution from the historic figures. No alternative solution has a better LTI ratio (lost time incident) than cleaning by means of shockwave cleaning.
Due to the clear Safe Systems of Work (SSoW) and the well structured and disciplined experienced shockwave engineers, there is minimal risk to all employees and the installation. Also the solutions have a better environmental footprint than traditional cleaning. As shutdowns can be prevented and cleaning can be done without costly loss of energy, resources and shutdown / restart resources, the environmental balance proofs turns out superior for shockwave cleaning.
Online Cleaning solutions can be effectively employed in all types of plants and facilities. Please read our case studies to find out more.
This energy-from-waste plant first employed Online Cleaning in 2004 to clear a major blockage in the plant’s multi-cyclone system. Following our success, we were further tasked with carrying out regular online cleans using our shockwave methods. Since taking on OCT average capacity increased by 10% to over 100t steam and periods between shutdowns have been extended to more than 8500 hours.
Before taking on Online Cleaning in 2008, this Zinc producer planned regular and costly shutdowns to clean its critical and hard-to-access areas. Due to close monitoring and cooperation, the plant has needed no more costly unplanned stops.
Before Online Cleaning became involved with this client, the whole installation would have to be shut down for several weeks to manually clean it. With Online Cleaning there is no need to shut down, allowing the client to maintain production at targeted levels.
