Prevent your

boiler from

fouling!


New generation of Power Wave 
Generators

The cost effective add-on or alternative to all known methods
of cleaning boiler and heat exchanger tubes exposed to 
fly ash deposits.

 THE TECHNOLOGY
Why P-Wave?

Because our products are based on decades of boiler cleaning experience; both in 
technology development and in operations.

Effective, affordable, safe, with low operating and maintenance costs.
We increase efficiency, reduce maintenance and decrease CO2 emissions


PROBLEM SOLVING

Our patented technology 
optimizes the boiler cleaning process through automated, 
variable Power Waves.


PROVEN

Boiler cleaning technologies 
originally developed by Hans Rüegg, 
have proven their effectiveness since 2001. The new Power Wave Generator technology (his 3rd Generation) 
delivers,  the most attractive results.


SUPERSONIC

Our technology is based on a 
supersonic power wave that is 
generated by deflagrating propane 
gas and compressed air in the 
Power Wave Generator.

Innovation in Boiler Cleaning

Creating Power Waves from high pressure compressed air.
Without detonation at propane combustion for super high pressure,
combined with the patented ultrafast pneumatic actuator. 


P-WAVE Generator

Super-high pressure 
Only propane and  air
Freely adjustable pressure / power
Fully automatic

NO DETONATION at combustion
NO OXYGEN

Easy to maintain
