03
Dissolving power
The packets of air and water flow through the cleaning section at speeds of up to 20 m/s. They generate turbulence with strong Shear and drag forces. This way deposits loosened on the inner surfaces of the pipelines.
02
Impulses from air and water
The introduced compressed air expands inside and, together with the slowly inflowing water, generates impulsive blocks of water and air.
01
SCU stand module
By means of software control, the comprex® unit selectively injects compressed air pulses and water into the section to be cleaned.
04
Discharge is collected
The dissolved particles are discharged from the line and collected on filter fleece for documentation. The discharge is disposed of properly.
Developed and patented
Comprex® cleaning process
Our comprex® impulse rinsing process works entirely without chemicals, instead using only air and water according to a principle of physics. We inject filtered air into the section to be cleaned – in a controlled and impulse-like manner. This creates packets of air and water blocks that flow through the section at high velocity.
They generate enormous turbulence with strong shear and drag forces, whereby they manage to mobilize and reliably discharge existing deposits. The result: clean pipes and clean water – efficient, gentle and economical.

A clean result in just a few steps
Our approach
We operate across a wide range of industries and specialize in versatile cleaning applications. Find out here how our comprex® process can successfully and efficiently clean the many systems.
01
Individual preplanning
Every cleaning measure requires careful pre-planning. We always take into account the local conditions and effortlessly adapt our comprex® process to the requirements of the equipment and systems in your plant. During the pre-planning stage, we determine the cleaning sections with feed-in and feed-out points and plan the cleaning sequence.
02
Define the input and output points
For cleaning, we can often use existing inlets and outlets or connections on the system to be cleaned. Standardized adapters simplify the connectivity. Depending on the conditions on site, we use the water from the system itself or from other supply systems for cleaning. The cleaning of the main pipelines is followed by the cleaning of apparatus such as heat exchangers or machines.
03
Bringing in the comprex® impulses
Controlled by special software, we introduce targeted pulses of compressed air and water into the section to be cleaned via the feed points. Depending on local conditions, our large self-sufficient comprex® trailers or smaller more compact mobile comprex® units are used. The mobile units require only electricity and compressed air or inert gas from the customer’s plant.
04
Compress & Expand
The compressed air introduced into the pipeline or apparatus expands inside and, together with the slowly inflowing water, generates impulsive blocks of water and air. These effective cleaning packages flow through the cleaning section at speeds of up to 20 m/s.
05
Debris removal
The highly accelerated air and water blocks generate enormous turbulence with strong shear and drag forces on the inner surfaces of the pipelines. In this way, biofilms and deposits can be mobilized and reliably discharged. With comprex® , we nevertheless clean gently and always remain below the permissible system pressure.
06
Turbidity monitoring
We document the purging process precisely. The success of comprex® cleaning can be seen, for example, in the heat transfer and system characteristic curves. A sight glass is used to monitor the turbidity, which makes the loading of the rinsing water with detached particles visible. If necessary, the discharge can be collected and assessed with filter fleece in the decompression box.
