Ultrasonic activity operates on similar principles to sound waves. As electrical energy is transferred to mechanical energy, it causes positive and negative pressure waves that generate microscopic bubbles that form on all surfaces throughout the component being cleaned. But these are no ordinary bubbles. A bubble in a liquid charged with ultrasonic will implode near a solid surface. This action is known as cavitation.

When they implode, it formulates a high-speed jet of liquid that impacts the surfaces of the component at extremely high pressures and temperatures. This dynamic action separates the contaminants from all surfaces without any damage to the component.

This micro-jet impact combined with specialized ultrasonic solutions removes bitumen, heavy oils, greases, calcification and other refinery by products much faster and more thoroughly than conventional methods of power washing, steam, manual scrubbing and chemical dip tanks.
