Energy

Campus & district energy systems are the backbones of sustainable energy management. PurgeRite understands these systems’ crucial role in campus flushing to reduce environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency. We offer solutions to the unique needs faced by campus & district energy infrastructure.

Elevate System Efficiency for Optimal Results

Campus and District Energy

Campus & district energy systems are complex systems of pipes, boilers, chillers, and heat exchangers that distribute energy across vast areas. After construction is complete, contaminants, debris, and other impurities are left behind. In turn, debris decreases the system's efficacy by hindering heat transfer, reducing efficiency, and increasing energy consumption. To address this, campus flushing standards are high. Mechanical flushing and purging are vital processes in removing impurities from the system. Experience campus & district energy systems as they were meant to be with PurgeRite.

Our expert team is proactive about preserving the well-being of campus & district energy systems while supporting your long-term sustainability goals. Our technicians utilize advanced flushing and purging techniques and high campus flushing standards to clean and restore system components for smooth operation and minimal energy loss. All this leads to a better carbon footprint for your campus or city. No matter how contaminated pipes are, we have the expertise and resources to address your specific challenges.

Rice University Engineering & Science Building

A local university needed a proper hydronic cleaning for a new engineering and science building. Although challenged with a very limited space to place our flushing equipment, through multiple site-walks and coordination with the GC and Mechanical Contractor, we were able to navigate the tight space and create another success story.

Austin Energy CHW Distribution

A local district energy provider needed a proper cleaning of a new chilled water distribution line to a nearby building. PurgeRite utilized our stainless steel flex hoses to connect to the underground system in a tight space and complete the flush.

UT Moody Arena

One of our legacy clients contracted us to flush and clean a new utility plant providing cooling to their new basketball arena. By working together with the multiple mechanical contractors, we successfully cleaned the chiller plant and all the associated underground piping leading to the basketball arena. This required over 2,000 feet of hose and a pair of temporary risers.

Trusted Testimonials

The district's hot water and chilled water systems are cleaner than we have ever seen them, and they are cleaner than any system we have started up before.

As an Associate Vice President for Utilities and Energy Management for 26 years, I was privileged to contract PurgeRite for some very large projects. The critical flushing and passivation processes they developed have become the standard.

On one exceptionally large project in particular, it was our responsibility to fully flush all debris, dirt, and air out of the system. Normal plant pumps or building system pumps are insufficient to do this, but we knew we could count on PurgeRite to provide the equipment and connections to meet the need. It was also critical to work with them and our water treatment provider to properly passivate the steel pipe to protect against corrosion, or the deadline and budget were not going to be met.

I highly recommend PurgeRite’s expert team to protect your investments.
