Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

What Kind of Soot Removers Are Available For Purchase And How Do They Compare?

Chimneys and fireplaces can only operate efficiently and safely by being kept clean to ensure that they are fresh and free from clogging by creosote and soot. By allowing build up of clogging material in the chimney and the fire place, there are high chances that the materials would cause a fire that could destroy property. To this effect there are products in the market that can be purchased to allow for a home owner to personally clean the chimney or fireplace without seeking services of a professional. The most common item that has been fronted by reviewers is the Duraflame Flue-Renew; this product is formulated using the Rutand Safe-t-flue technology whose functionality is to reduce the soot and creosote into flaky substances that are easy to clean by brushing off.

The Duraflame comes in a log display carton of 9 or season maintenance with 3 logs packed in an easy to carry pack. There is also a Creosote conditioner powder. Easily applied by sprinkling it into the chimney or the fire place. Additives contained in the powder crystalizes creosote making it less sticky reducing chances of a fire. Creosote Remover is a granular material that is heat activated to make the creosote turn to brushable ash, this makes the chimney unclogged and easier to clean. Toss in Creosote Remover Stick is a tube that is made from pre-measured cleaning material. It functions by turning the creosote into an easy to clean ashy material. A tube of the Creosote Remover Stick is placed entirely into the brisk fire. Two tube should be used weekly for a period of a month, thereafter a tube can be tossed into the fire once per week for the remainder of the burning season. Pine Mountain Logs functions like most chimney cleaners. The log burns like a natural fire and is cleaner unlike firewood. Creosote remover powder is the compound of the combustion chemicals, formulated to remove soot or fireside deposits from the boilers or diesel engine systems.

Residual fuel oils accessible in the market have high quantities of carbon, asphalt, as well as sulphur that contaminate exhaust gas and thus increase risk of the soot deposits on exhaust gas tubes. Potential ignition temperature in a soot layer is generally in an area of 300 to 400oC, but presence of the un-burnt oil might lower ignition temperature at 150oC and in extreme conditions below 120oC. It means ignition can happen after stop of main engine because of the glowing particles staying in boiler tubes. The remover helps to reduce ignition temperature of combustibles in remote cold parts so they can easily burn off, and leaving light ash powder that will be removed very easily. Duraflame is one best soot remover that you can choose from a variety of soot remover available in the market. You also need to maintain your chimney in a right way so that there is less chance of any kind of danger.
