  • Deposits on steam turbines
  • Smoke and soot damage in churches
  • Low-level radioactive contaminants on steel
  • Pigeon fouling on historic buildings
  • Mold residue after treatment

 

Sponge-Jet cleans fast and efficiently without water or hazardous chemicals. Through the use of cleaning agents, micro-abrasives and engineered ceramics, Sponge Media™ allows for the broadest cleaning and decontamination capabilities possible to achieve the necessary results.

Features & Benefits

  • Decontaminate, absorb and abate hazards
  • Improve worker health and safety
  • Lower project costs
  • Reliability of schedule and budget
  • Green and sustainable, at lower cost
  • Support public environmental initiatives

  • Roof Decking - Clean or Prepare

    Remove hard deposits of baked oil residue without damaging galvanized decking (as on this monorail decking). And by simply changing Sponge Media™ type, strip failed coatings without damage to the galvanized substrate; slightly etch the galvanized surface to prepare it for coating; or clean oil and dust from high gloss decking without de-glossing the paint.

  • Cleaning Process Chemical Residue

    Without water, rapidly clean a wide range of chemical residues, mold release agents, contaminants from equipment and facilities as was done at this major aluminum manufacturer.

  • Fire Damage Restoration

    This galvanizing plant was able to quickly clean and remove smoke and soot from block walls, roof decking and machinery with the dry, highly versatile Sponge Blasting system.

  • Mold Residue Remediation

    This mental health institution used Sponge-Jet technology to quickly clean wood and brick surfaces that were contaminated with residue of mold after it was killed by chemical treatment.

  • Concrete Block Clean-up

    After years of environmental soiling and vehicle exhaust this concrete block was completely cleaned with no water or chemicals. Clean, Dry, Safe!

  • Concrete Ceiling Fire Damage

    After a chemical fire, this concrete ceiling was completely blackened with soot and chemical char. Cleaning with water was not allowed as it would have spread the chemical residue, allowing it to further penetrate the concrete and floors below. Sponge blasting allowed for fast, dry cleaning and decontamination of the hazardous residue.

  • Smoke Clean-up from Corrugated Steel Ceiling

    After a nearby fire, this facility used Sponge-Jet’s sensitive cleaning media to remove the smoke damage and restore the ceiling to its original bright white color. Tight areas around joists were easily cleaned.

  • Ceramic and Masonry Tiles Cleaned in Bottling Plant

    Bottling plants as well as many pharmaceutical, food and chemical plants need to periodically clean tiles and other protective linings in trenches, on equipment bases and within containment areas. Sponge-Jet achieves this quickly without introducing moisture into the area.

  • Historic Museum Gets Clean Facade

    This historic facade included multiple stone types, all heavily soiled from years of city smog and acid rain. Here the preservationist easily adjusted for each stone type and was able to clean adjacent to windows.

  • Restoring Copper Roofs while Preserving the Patina

    This highly skilled team, specializing in remote access technology (repelling from ropes) used Sponge-Jet White SPOCC Sponge Media™ at low pressure to clean environmental staining from the copper roof of the Oakland Tribune Building. Containment debris nets were positioned below as they blasted high above the city.

  • Brick Cleaning

    Brick can often be cleaned or have old coatings removed quickly - returning it to its original beauty.

  • Removing Charred Wood

    Rapidly and effectively remove charred wood from structures subject to fire. This allows faster project turnaround and more effective odor removal than other technologies.

  • Guggenheim Museum Cleaned to Highest Standards

    The world renowned Guggenheim Museum in New York elected Sponge-Jet as the method to clean concrete coating residue from the surface prior to recoating.

  • Kansas State House

    Both wood and decorative alloy balusters were easily cleaned and brightened with Sponge-Jet at very low pressures.

  • Water Staining Removed from Wood Joists

    This mixed use residential and commercial building in downtown Boston used White Glass Bead Sponge Media™ to remove water staining from its timber ceiling and paint from its brick while preserving the historic charm of the structure.

  • Cleaning Architectural Details

    This historic brick building in downtown, Grand Rapids, MI (USA) had its brick facade and granite details cleaned from soot and environmental staining.

  • Tank Signs Cleaned

    Oil and dirt are quickly removed from tanks, signs and other equipment using Green Sponge Media™; restoring the surfaces without creating added liability and cost from contaminated water run-off which would otherwise need to be collected and treated is only possible with Sponge-Jet technology.

  • Bunker Oil Clean up

    Oil burner overflows causing sticky oil cover surrounding surfaces. Sponge-Jet Green Sponge Media™ is used to clean the oil from the surfaces without damaging the paint below.

  • Rehabilitate Old Wood

    Restore and rehabilitate wood beams, ceilings and floors in old buildings and warehouses using sponge media. Lead abatement, paint, some stain and oil removal to a “like-new” or distressed finish.

  • Compressor Overhaul

    Interior and Exterior Compressor Overhaul at Pemex’s Lázaro Cárdenaz Refinery. Exterior: remove oil residue, corrosion and profiled for recoating. Interior: removed all oil residue and gasket adhesive without substrate damage

  • Efflorescence from Brick

    Efflorescence is quickly removed from brick exterior, returning brick to new like new condition.

  • Cleaning Carbon Deposits in Ethanol Plant

    Sponge-Jet composite media cleans this Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) fan in an Ethanol Plant. The fan had heavy deposits of carbon from burned corn oil.
