Conventional sootblowers increase tube wear by entraining ash particles at high velocity during operation. Industry data suggests one in every seven tube leaks may be attributable to erosion caused by conventional sootblower methods.

In comparison, the SHOCKSystem™ is tube-friendly. Field experience confirms its cleaning process effectively removes deposits without disturbing the tube's protective oxide surface layer.
