Our story starts in 1983.

Since our founding, Acoustic Cleaning Systems set out to be an affordable and reliable supplier of acoustic cleaners to the marketplace. Company owner Paul Argo began his career at Drayton Corporation in 1989, promoting the Drayton Corporation acoustic cleaner product line. The company’s primary focus was on combustion processes within the utility and pulp and paper industries. As the business grew, Paul got more involved with the day to day operational side of the company.

In 1999, Drayton Corporations owners (Jeff and Jake Shelton) decided to sell the acoustic cleaner product line to BHA Group from Kansas City, MO. BHA contracted Drayton Corporation to continue manufacturing the acoustic cleaner product line for BHA. Paul was the primary person responsible for handling the manufacturing of the acoustic cleaners required by BHA.

The following year (2000), what was remaining of Drayton Corporation was sold to Boiler Tube Co. of America (BTA). BTA honored the contract between Drayton and BHA and continued manufacturing the acoustic cleaners for BHA. In 2001 BTA decided to close the Jacksonville, AL operation.

In 2003, Paul decided to form Acoustic Cleaning Systems, Inc. Since then, we have grown every year, and are now the market leader in acoustic cleaning in the United States. Since 2007, ACS has secured more SCR OEM projects than any other manufacturer. And as we continue to expand, we are proud to be one of the largest suppliers of aftermarket and OEM spare parts for acoustic cleaners worldwide.
