Coldsweep

Entrepreneur: Randell Heath Location: Mountain Green, Utah
Coldsweep

Description:

Heath’s company uses dry ice made from recycled CO2 to clean surfaces. They go places you wouldn’t, like into hydro-electric generators, gas turbines and boilers, cleaning printing presses (removing ink and grease), removing fire damage (soot and char), mold remediation (removing the mold that grows in damp places and can cause heath issues), oil and gas (removing tar, oil and other residues from refinery surfaces). They remove lead-based paint, too. Their work gets so grungy sometimes that they throw clothes and equipment away at the end of the day.
