What is dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting (CO₂ blasting) is a non-abrasive, non-conductive industrial cleaning method that uses solid CO₂ pellets accelerated by compressed air. Pellets sublimate on impact, leaving no secondary waste — only the original contaminant for disposal.

Is dry ice blasting safe on electrical equipment?

Yes. CO₂ is a non-conductive dielectric medium, so dry ice blasting is the preferred method for cleaning de-energized switchgear, motors, transformers, MCCs, generators, and bus ducts per NFPA 70E procedures.

Is dry ice blasting food-safe?

Yes. CO₂ is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved for cleaning food contact surfaces. No chemicals, no water, and no abrasive media are introduced.

Does dry ice blasting damage the substrate?

No. Dry ice is non-abrasive and does not erode steel, aluminum, paint, rubber, wood, or concrete when used with correct nozzle and pressure parameters.

How does dry ice blasting compare to sandblasting and pressure washing?

Unlike sandblasting, dry ice leaves no grit residue and does not erode substrates. Unlike pressure washing, dry ice introduces no water — no dry-out time, no rust, no electrical hazard, no contaminated runoff.

What areas does Dry Ice Blasting Of America serve?

All 48 contiguous United States, with planned outage support available to all 50 states. Standard scheduling within 1–2 weeks; emergency outage support within 24–72 hours. Call (866) 648-0030.

How quickly can DIBA mobilize for a power plant outage?

24–72 hours for emergency HRSG and power generation outages. Same-week mobilization for standard scope across the 48 contiguous states.

What is the typical ROI of switching to dry ice blasting?

Most customers see 40–80% reduction in downtime, 25–60% lower cleaning labor, and elimination of secondary waste disposal. Typical payback is 3–12 months with Year 1 ROI of 150–400%.

Dry Ice Blasting Near Fort Worth, Texas

Industrial dry ice blasting for the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex — including oil and gas, refineries, FRAC pump radiators, manufacturing, and power generation.

The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is one of the most industrial corridors in North America. Refineries, petrochemical plants, FRAC fleets, manufacturing, food production, aerospace, and power generation are all concentrated in the region — and all of them have cleaning problems that water and grit cannot solve.

What we clean in DFW

FRAC pump radiator cleaning between stages
Refinery and petrochemical equipment — exchangers, columns, structural steel
Power plant turbines, switchgear, MCCs, and HRSGs
Food and beverage production lines
Automotive and aerospace tooling, molds, and fixtures
Industrial plant maintenance and outage support
Mold remediation and fire restoration for commercial properties

FRAC pump cleaning specifically

Hydraulic fracturing fleets stack up enormous radiator and cooler hours in a season. Wet cleaning corrodes fins and drives downtime. Dry ice blasting strips oil, dust, and clay buildup from radiator fins without bending them and without flushing contamination into bearings or electronics. We work in the yard or in the field.

Why local response matters

DFW jobs almost always start with a phone call and end with a crew on site within 24–72 hours. We hold inventory in the region and mobilize from Texas — not from out of state — which keeps mobilization charges low and response times short. Emergency response is available 24/7 for forced outages and restoration.

Service area

We mobilize across Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco, Denton, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Lewisville, McKinney, and the surrounding Texas industrial corridor. Call (866) 648-0030 for fast scheduling.
