Inspection, Servicing & Cleaning
We offer complete servicing for extended surface heat exchangers and condensers. We start by providing an inspection, report and quotation. Following this, we can provide a full service for your heat exchanger, which can include de-assembly, cleaning (ultrasonically, chemically or mechanically) and re-assembly. Our service is then followed by a pressure test and the issue of a works test certificate or third-party inspection certificate if required. Contact us with your enquiries.
Refurbishment & Retubing | On-Board & On-Site
We provide a complete retubing service for all types of extended surface/finned tube heat exchangers. We use materials to original specification, utilising procedures and machinery specifically developed here at AKS.
Units can be completely retubed to original specification or higher. Tube plates and headers are also replaced when required. Work can be undertaken in our works, on-site or on-board vessels to meet your requirements.
