IMPULSE® Cleaning
IMPULSE® Cleaning technology delivers dramatic improvements in the online cleaning of fouled surfaces when compared to conventional cleaning systems and the technology offers plant operators a number of significant advantages.
Over 360 IMPULSE® Cleaning units have been installed on 75 power plants, across utility, EfW, co-gen and industrial sectors in Europe and the USA.
Most recently, RJM has provided IMPULSE® units at a plant firing waste wood in the UK and a waste plant in Scandinavia.
Eleven units were installed at Ince Bio Power in the UK in 2024 and a further five units were installed in 2025.
“These eleven IMPULSE® units have delivered an important step change in performance, with an increase in output of around 1 MWe and increased availability at the gasifier of 5%, equivalent to an extra 19 days of additional generation per annum,” said Steve Billett, Director of Sales at RJM.
RJM is now working with a handful of other sites in the UK to install IMPULSE® Cleaning technology.
