Nuclear Industry
Dry Ice Blasting is used extensively for nuclear industry cleaning applications with great success. Dry Ice Blasting is far superior to traditional cleaning methods as it is a dry process that creates no secondary wastes. It reduces or eliminates the need for toxic solvents, and the cleanup and disposal of blasting media, such as; sand, grit, water etc., that are hard to clean up and expensive to dispose of. Because dry ice (CO2) sublimates on contact with the object being cleaned there is less cleanup required; this means less downtime. Dry Ice Blasting is a natural choice for nuclear or hazardous waste cleaning and decontamination. Dry Ice does not become radioactive, this is very important, because all other materials from cleaning radioactive or other hazardous materials become contaminated increasing disposal costs. The Dry Ice Blasting process uses no chemicals and creates no secondary wastes.
