WE KNOW YOUR CHALLENGES

We're committed to solving process efficiency issues across industries

Every industry has its own challenges – we're here to help with our innovative ultrasound solution for fouling mitigation and enhanced separation.

PULP & PAPER

Production efficiency is vital to success in the pulp and paper business, both in terms of profitability and also environmental impact. A key factor that often leads to reduced production efficiency and end-product quality is fouling and scaling in equipment. Fouling and scaling cause higher energy consumption and environmental emissions, and often lead to expensive shutdowns.

With Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound solution, fouling can be removed and prevented to ensure efficient production to reach Zero Process Downtime. Our ultrasound solution also enhances tall oil separation for improved yield and increased profits. 

MINING & MINERALS

Mining and minerals processing is a complex industry utilizing a wide range of chemical reactions. Slurries treated as part of these processes have a high tendency to deposit and accumulate on the production equipment. The demand for minerals is growing due to electrification, making process efficiency and stability extremely important.

With Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound solution, deposits can be prevented and removed to reach Zero Process Downtime, ensuring a stable and efficient process.

ENERGY, HEATING & POWER

The energy, heating and power generating industry plays a crucial role in the infrastructure and maintenance of societies. A common problem that arises in these operations is fouling and scaling in equipment, leading to reduced process efficiency, expensive unplanned shutdowns and unnecessary energy consumption, which increases both costs and environmental emissions.

Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound for fouling removal and prevention helps companies achieve better overall cost efficiency and lower environmental missions – with Zero Process Downtime. 

OIL & GAS

The oil and gas industry is an extremely large one: in all parts of the industry fluids and gases are transported through processes that aim to add value. The industry relies on continuous, efficient operations, as disruptions can lead to costly consequences throughout the value chain. Fouling of equipment carrying liquids is a common issue, reducing efficiency and causing unwanted interruptions.

To lower energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and improve operational efficiency, it’s crucial to implement fouling prevention technologies. Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound prevents and removes fouling with Zero Process Downtime. 

Increased Nuclear Safety and Efficiency with Altum’s ZPD Ultrasound

NUCLEAR

Safety is extremely important in the nuclear industry. Altum’s unique patented ultrasound technology can be used for decontamination, cleaning and maintenance of process equipment at both operational nuclear power plants and at plants undergoing decommissioning. It can be attached externally to pipes, valves, and pumps without the need for welding or bonding, and works without stopping operations.

Unlike traditional methods, which require shutdowns or mechanical cleaning, Altum’s system operates continuously, reducing worker dose and maintaining system performance.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Food production differs from other process industries due to its short production cycles, high quality standards, and frequent cleaning needs. Equipment fouling and scaling can cause a lot of downtime, which affects profitability.

To maintain continuous production without compromising quality or safety, food manufacturers need innovative solutions. Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound technology offers an effective way to prevent fouling to reach Zero Process Downtime.

WATER

The global demand for clean water, coupled with increasing environmental concerns, make water and wastewater solutions and industries more critical than ever before. The biggest challenges in water and wastewater treatment are high operating costs and use of toxic chemicals related to cleaning and treating the effluents.

Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound solution for fouling removal and prevention, in addition to enhanced dewatering, offers a perfect solution to water plant operators to lower chemical usage and increase efficiency.

CHEMICALS

The chemicals industry involves diverse, continuous production processes of liquids, solids, and gases. Disruptions can lead to costly and complex problems, with fouling being one of the major issues. Fouling can sometimes result in complete process shutdowns, negatively impacting operations.

Altum’s high-power, software-guided ultrasound solution solves fouling issues by effectively removing and preventing fouling. This leads to increased efficiency and lower environmental impact.

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

Medical production requires process equipment to be exceptionally clean to meet the industrial regulations. Short batch -type production processes requires continuous CIP (Clean-In-Place) as part of the operation. The need for frequent cleaning, as well as fouling and scaling in equipment and pipes, has been a cause for lost production downtime which in turn puts pressure on profitability.

Now, Altum’s innovative software-guided ultrasound solution for fouling removal and prevention keeps the process clean to help companies reach maximum efficiency and Zero Process Downtime.
