Pulse Detonation Engine
Boiler Cleaning Meets Aerospace Technology
The SHOCKSystem™ creates boiler-cleaning blast waves through a combustion process known as detonation. The technology behind the detonation process comes directly from Pratt & Whitney's continued work on the propulsion system of the future.

The Cleaning Process
The omni-directional blast wave created by the SHOCKSystem™ removes ash deposits that cannot be removed by conventional cleaning technologies such as sootblowers.

Main Components & Installation Flexibility
The SHOCKSystem™ consists of a combustor, gas system and control system. Configuration can be straight or bent, and requires less than 10 feet of space from boiler walls.

Operating and Maintenance Costs
The SHOCKSystem™ operates with low-cost fuels while the boiler is online, has few moving parts, is tube-friendly, thus reducing tube erosion, and cleans more efficiently and effectively than traditional sootblowers. It saves time, money, equipment and plant resources.

Boiler Efficiency Improvements
The SHOCKSystem™ improves boiler efficiency by removing ash accumulation and fouling from tube surfaces including platenization, vertical and horizontal ash deposits, and bridging found between tube rows.

Eliminating Outages
The SHOCKSystem™ removes platenization and bridging that blocks gas lanes thereby eliminating offline cleanings. It also eliminates tube erosion caused by constant sootblowing thereby reducing outages caused by tube leaks.
