The circulation unit has been designed to clean refinery process equipment and heat exchanger trains with minimum disruption to renery throughput. While the unit generally flows our proprietary solvent through the refinery system, we are able to

utilize other approved agents if requested by our client.

 

The ability to clean heat exchangers without having to remove them is truly transformational. There are significant cost savings and minimized downtime when we clean in place. Due to this process being less disruptive to operations, operators can clean more frequently to maintain production levels and optimize heat exchanger performance. Another key feature is that we minimize worker exposure to hazardous situations. The design includes emergency cut outs and isolation that will eliminate the need to blank in most circumstances.

BENEFITS

 

Less disruptive and reduced downtime by eliminating pulling the Heat Exchanger from the network

 

More cost effective than “pulling” allowing for more frequent cleaning and higher production levels

 

Fewer resources needed; no scaffolding, cranes and associated labour

 

Avoids unwanted disassembly and potential damage of asset components, leaving asset integrity undisturbed and elminates risk of loss of containment on start-up

 

Organic solvent contacts all fouled surfaces allowing a more effective clean

 

No waste water or spent toxic chemicals

VALUE ADDED SERVICE

 

Quick response

 

Maintenance agreements available to help optimize throughput

 

We can engage and partner with 3rd parties to monitor heat exchanger performance
