Report
Unlike other companies in the same line of work, your crew cleared the entire gas lane in each of the boilers and the performance of the plant responded accordingly.
What is especially noteworthy, is that I had arranged a vacuum truck to clean up the material removed, but all that was left was powder that is easily handled by the system and the vacuum crew was not needed.
Because of their fine work, we have established normal draft in each of these units.
Your men were on time and professional throughout the job and everyone knows your line of work is far less than easy.

There are no commercially manufactured explosives specifically designed for slag removal.
However, our company has worked closely with explosive makers, and after more than five decades of experience, adapted the following products for the safe and effective removal of slag deposits.
Semi Gelatin Dynamite: First developed by Alfred Nobel in 1866, gelatin dynamite is still our choice for removing heavy slag deposits in the firebox of modern boilers.
Because of its low detonation velocity and massive release of vapor and gas, it has proven to be safer and more effective than binary and PETN based explosive products.
