Petrochemical

 

High pressure waterblasting can be effectively used in the petrochemical industry in many ways including:

  • Cutting access port into storage tanks that contain combustible materials.
  • Cutting door sheet to access tanks for cleaning or maintenance
  • De-commissioning of plant and sites
  • Removal of scale from transfer lines
  • Removal of hard calcium scale from cooling water lines
  • Removal of coke build up from lines within coker units
  • Removing unwanted deposits and build up in heat exhchangers, boilers, fin fans and piping systems.

Materials high pressure waterblasting can clean or remove:

  • PVC, PVA, iron oxide, calcium carbonate & sulphate, chlorides, hard polymers, coke, hard carbon on heat exchanger & reboilers.
  • Soft polymers carbon, algae, scum & buildup in heat exchangers, reboilers, reactors, tanks, cooling towers & facilities.   
  • Coke, water scale, hard carbon & polymers in heat exchanger, pipe tanks & reactors.
  • Paraffin, wax, grease & crude residues
