Powering the Power Makers: How Clemco Helps Drive the Energy That Moves Our World
In every corner of the modern world, power generation is what keeps progress alive. From coal-fired plants to wind farms and hydroelectric facilities, the production and distribution of energy depend on reliability, precision, and safety. At the heart of these operations lies a critical but often unseen process—surface preparation. That’s where Clemco plays a vital role, helping industry leaders in power generation maintain the integrity and performance of the infrastructure that keeps the lights on and the world moving.
The Foundation of Reliable Power: Surface Preparation
Every turbine blade, pressure vessel, and transmission tower faces the relentless forces of time, heat, and corrosion. The extreme environments in which power generation equipment operates demand that each surface—whether metal or composite—be perfectly prepared for coating, maintenance, or repair.
Clemco provides the blasting solutions that make that possible. Our blast machines, cabinets, and rooms are designed to clean, roughen, or finish surfaces with precision and consistency—removing rust, scale, and old coatings while extending the service life of critical components. The result is a stronger bond for protective coatings, improved corrosion resistance, and greater operational uptime for power facilities.
Empowering Every Source of Energy
Clemco’s impact spans across every form of power generation:
Fossil Fuel Plants: Boilers, turbines, and heat exchangers endure extreme conditions that cause corrosion and scaling. Clemco’s portable blast machines and automated systems enable maintenance teams to restore surfaces efficiently, reducing downtime and extending component life.
Hydroelectric Facilities: Constant exposure to water and pressure demands rigorous corrosion control. Clemco’s blast rooms and custom-engineered systems help remove coatings and contaminants from massive turbine housings, gates, and penstocks.
Renewable Energy Operations: Wind and solar facilities depend on precision-cleaned and coated components—from tower sections and nacelles to mounting structures. Clemco’s equipment ensures surfaces are properly prepared for high-performance coatings that protect against UV, moisture, and salt air.
Nuclear Power Plants: When safety and precision cannot be compromised, Clemco equipment delivers consistent, controlled blasting performance under the most demanding standards and environments.
Data Centers: Artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented surge in global energy demand. Data centers—housing thousands of servers that process and train AI models—require massive, continuous power and advanced cooling infrastructure. Clemco’s solutions support the construction and maintenance of this critical infrastructure by helping ensure clean, corrosion-free surfaces on generators, cooling systems, and transmission components that keep AI operations running smoothly and reliably.
