Case Studies

The Goodway dry steam cleaning system at their facility the weekly dry cleaning now takes only a fraction of the manpower used previously. Goodway reduced weekly labor hours previously needed by 66%!

A large-scale producer of baked bread was looking for ways to reduce labor costs and reduce production downtime on their spiral cooling conveyor belts at their facility in Southern Maine.

Military facilities operate around the clock, and with such a high demand, comes high operational expectations. These high operational expectations are especially true during winter months, where maintaining an optimal supply of hot water in the heating loop is imperative to the comfort heating of their building. To achieve this goal, two Lochinvar® KBN700 Knight® XL high efficiency boilers feed 30 Variable Air Volume (VAV’s) boxes, 1 large air handler and 2 hot water coil air rotation units.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, energy costs are second only to personnel costs in K-12 school district operating budgets nationwide. To reduce energy consumption district-wide, a Texas School District committed to finding ways to become more efficient with their buildings, both in new construction design and in existing buildings.

What would you do if cleaning your production line was taking over 24 hours to complete? You’d look for a better solution, that’s what. And that’s just what the makers of a leading manufacturer of rolled-up fruit snacks did.

A power plant in the Midwest was experiencing reduced power output due to scale deposits within their chillers. After utilizing (5) 330-gallon totes of ScaleBreak-MP for the first 1,700 ton system cleaning, the result was so successful, they decided to clean the remaining 3 systems immediately.

Mold in your HVAC system is a common problem. It causes odors and bad indoor air quality. Read this case study to find six steps to remove mold in HVAC systems.

Goodway's GDS-C40 descaling pump and ScaleBreak®-MP chemical descaler work together to keep a national sport's arena's chillers operating efficiently. As a result of maintaining the chillers properly energy and money are saved.

Brazed plate heat exchangers perform in many capacities, in this case study they were being utilized to cool flue gas.  Brazed plate heat exchangers transfer energy with high efficiency and minimal thermal loss. When operating in environments where poor water quality occurs, or with high temperatures, scale deposits from minerals within the water source may fall out of suspension and adhere to the heat transfer surface, creating an insulating barrier. This may have a detrimental impact on the heat exchanger’s performance and efficiency. In addition to efficiency loss, continued scale build can act as a breeding ground for particulate fouling which can result in corrosion issues. The facility realized efficiencies had fallen far below expected levels and recognized a cleaning was needed.

Built over a century ago and known as one of America’s oldest brands, this global confectionery plant maintains one of the world's largest, technologically advanced manufacturing facilities. But it needed better technologies for cleaning, sanitation, and allergen removal.
