- Pipeline Cleaning
[Business:Industrial-Mechanical] The complexity of gas and oil pipelines has not substantially changed, but the demands for pipeline cleaning and de-scaling have. Millions of dollars are at stake in lost production time and equipment costs if pipelines have to be dismantled to be cleaned.
- New Cure For Fouled Plant Saves Money, Improves Performance
[News-and-Society] Cleaning a blocked WHRU conventionally involves costly cutting off of the serpentine bends and re-welding after cleaning; this is no longer necessary. When a platform's heavy plant fails, it means highly involved and often hazardous operations to disconnect it, move it off line, and then transfer it to a supply ship to be taken ashore for repair.
- Cutting Edge Cleaning
[Business:Industrial-Mechanical] A five day shut down had been planned at an oil refinery to accommodate traditional pressure jetting and chemical cleaning methods to clean four crude train heat exchangers. Tube Tech challenged this route using an alternative innovative method to overcome the main disadvantages: Difficult to clean with lengthy downtime leading to expensive lost production.
- Crack Down on Heat Exchanger Fouling
[Business:Industrial-Mechanical] Heat exchangers are the unsung heroes of many industrial processes and as such they tend to be taken for granted - nobody likes paying for what is often seen to be unnecessary maintenance. Heat exchangers provide duty for so long, that when they start to drop in efficiency, it's usually a gradual process that goes largely unnoticed - until their performance has deteriorated sufficiently to be a problem.
