Part of the wider Rochem Worldwide Group, Rochem Fyrewash Ltd set out to deliver in-service, efficiency-enhancing systems for the onshore and offshore industrial gas turbine markets. In particular, targeted on-line and off-line compressor cleaning systems and gas turbine cleaning chemicals which helped maintain fuel efficiency and output.
OVER 12,000 GTs INSTALLED
To date, over 12,000 gas turbines (GTs) have been installed with Rochem compressor cleaning systems, with over 300 installs now taking place every year. We are committed to not only offering market-leading products but also delivering excellent customer service and comprehensive support pre-, during, and post-installation.
FOUR STRATEGIC SUBSIDIARIES
To help with this mission, we have strategic subsidiaries in Europe, and the USA, providing a point of contact, outstanding customer service, and support. Meanwhile, the manufacture of associated chemicals is located at Rochem's chemical blending facility near Rotterdam.
RAPID DEVELOPMENT IN THE 1980s
The rapid development of the UK's offshore oil and gas industry through the 1980s brought a significant boost to RTS's market prospects. Large-capacity gas turbines began to be installed in large numbers aboard offshore production rigs. The demand for reliable outputs meant that the need to maintain internal cleanliness, thermal efficiency, and power became a high priority. The alternative was to allow the turbines to gradually lose between five and 10% power.
Three main Rochem principles
01
Deliver the cleaning chemical to fully wet the internal surfaces.
02
The cleaning chemical must be properly formulated to clean and remove fouling.
03
Frequent, regular cleaning to control foulant build up on the internal surfaces.
