MIK Projekt is proud to announce that it has officially become the representative of Aerovit boiler cleaning solutions for the Balkan region, bringing advanced Danish boiler cleaning technology closer to industrial facilities, energy producers, district heating systems, biomass plants, waste-to-energy operators, and process industries across Southeast Europe.
Through this partnership, MIK Projekt will support companies that need more reliable, efficient, and automated boiler cleaning solutions. Aerovit technology is especially relevant for demanding boiler applications where soot, ash, slag, and fouling can reduce heat transfer, increase fuel consumption, raise maintenance costs, and create unnecessary shutdowns.
Aerovit is a Danish specialist in boiler cleaning technology with decades of experience in removing deposits from critical boiler surfaces. Since 1981, Aerovit has developed solutions that help industrial operators maintain boiler performance, reduce manual cleaning, and keep systems operating more efficiently during normal operation.
For MIK Projekt, this partnership is an important step in expanding access to modern boiler maintenance technology in Serbia and the wider Balkan region. For industrial customers, it means easier local access to Aerovit systems, technical consultation, project support, and practical implementation guidance from a regional representative that understands local industry requirements.
Why boiler cleaning matters for industrial performance
Boiler efficiency depends on clean heat transfer surfaces. When soot, ash, slag, and fouling build up inside the boiler, heat transfer becomes less effective. The boiler then needs more energy to achieve the same output, while flue gas temperatures may rise and operating performance becomes less stable.
Over time, deposit buildup can create several problems:
- Higher fuel consumption
- Lower heat transfer efficiency
- Increased flue gas temperature
- More frequent manual cleaning
- Shorter maintenance intervals
- Higher operating costs
- More unplanned downtime
- Reduced boiler availability
- More difficult and potentially unsafe maintenance procedures
In many industrial facilities, boiler cleaning is still handled through manual cleaning, shutdown-based cleaning, or traditional soot blowing methods. These methods can be effective, but they often require downtime, labor, safety preparation, and production planning.
Aerovit boiler cleaning solutions help address this challenge by enabling automated cleaning during operation. Instead of waiting until deposits become a serious performance issue, the system helps remove soot, ash, and fouling before they create major efficiency losses.
In simple terms, cleaner boiler surfaces help facilities maintain better efficiency, reduce downtime, and operate with more predictable performance.

Aerovit's core advantage: automated boiler cleaning during operation
The main advantage of Aerovit technology is that it supports boiler cleaning during normal operation. Instead of relying only on shutdown-based cleaning or manual intervention, Aerovit systems can clean key boiler areas automatically according to defined intervals and cleaning sequences. This helps operators move from reactive maintenance to proactive performance management.
Aerovit solutions are especially valuable when:
- Fouling occurs frequently
- Shutdowns are expensive or difficult to schedule
- Manual cleaning creates operational or safety challenges
- Boiler efficiency is decreasing over time
- Flue gas temperatures are increasing
- Heat transfer surfaces need more consistent cleaning
- The facility wants to improve reliability and reduce maintenance pressure
By helping control deposit buildup continuously, Aerovit technology supports more stable boiler behavior and better long-term system performance.
Aerovit product range
Aerovit ShockClean System
One of Aerovit's core solutions. It uses powerful, timer-controlled shock waves of compressed air to remove soot and ash deposits from boiler surfaces. According to Aerovit, the system releases 450 liters of compressed air in a fraction of a second through the Aerovit valve, creating a strong shock wave that dislodges deposits from boiler tubes and compartments — all during normal boiler operation, without unnecessary shutdowns. It can be used on biomass boilers, economizers, heat exchangers, marine boilers, catalyst elements, and thermal oil coil boilers, on both new and existing installations.
Aerovit A40 valve unit
The A40 valve unit supports ShockClean installations with a compact and durable valve design. It integrates cooling and sound silencing, which helps improve reliability, durability, and operating comfort. This matters because boiler cleaning systems often operate in demanding environments where components must withstand heat, pressure, dust, vibration, and frequent operating cycles.
Aerovit SC-Jet Shower Cleaning
Designed for high-temperature and high-fouling applications, especially waste-to-energy and biomass combustion plants. It uses a rotating nozzle head that sends concentrated water jets onto heating surfaces while the boiler remains in operation. The SC-Jet system can be supervised from the control room and controlled through a PLC, so cleaning sequences can be defined and executed automatically based on each application's needs.
