In the Oil and Gas industry, the accumulation of dirt, soot, grease, and oil is a common challenge that not only hampers equipment efficiency but also poses safety risks. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short, consuming excessive water, generating waste, and using chemicals. Enter Dry Ice Blasting, an Innovative cryogenic cleaning solution that will help transform the industry.

How Dry ice works:

Dry ice Blasting works by 3mm sold gas particles hitting the surface and the gas rapidly expanding 800 times its original size in a process called sublimation. This pulls loose and deceive coating of the surface in a non-abrasive manner. Then returns to the atmosphere.

Features and Benefits for the Oil and Gas Industry:

1. Effective Contaminate Dislodgment: The very low temperature of dry ice (-78.5c) dislodges thick contaminant by breaking its bond with the surface for example oil, grease and soot.
2. In-Place Cleaning: Dry Ice Blasting Cleans equipment in place without the need for disassembly or cool-down periods, minimising downtime.
3. Non-Abrasive: It offers a gentle but highly effective cleaning solution, preserving the integrity of machinery and surfaces.
4. Superior Quality Clean: Dry Ice Blasting leaves no chemical or water residues behind, ensuring a pristine, residue-free result.
5. Non-Corrosive and Chemical-Free: The method is non-corrosive and completely chemical free safeguarding equipment longevity.
6. Dry and Moisture-Free: The process is dry and moisture free, eliminating the need for drying time after cleaning.
7. No Secondary Waste: Dry ice Blasting produces no secondary waste, reducing clean up and disposal costs significantly.

Environmental and Operational Benefits:

Oil and Gas companies are increasingly committed to enhancing efficiency, safety, and their approach to being environmentally responsible. Traditional pressure washing, while effective, consumes vast quantities of water and generates contaminated waste that must be handled meticulously.

Dry ice Blasting presents a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to water-based cleaning methods. It is free from chemicals, moisture, abrasives, and shot, making it environmentally friendly. This revolutionary method eliminates the need for water and simplifies waste disposal. Cleaning can occur in hot climates and in situ, reducing downtime and boosting Facility efficiency and productivity.

Applications in the Oil and Gas Industry: Dry ice Blasting is versatile and applicable across various aspects of the oil and gas sector, including:

• Cleaning electric motors, housings, stators, wiring, and more.
• Preparing welds on process vessels before NDT testing.
• Removing oil, bitumen, and corrosion inhibitor chemicals from equipment like piping, valves, and wellheads.
• Cleaning gas and steam turbine components, including blades, casings, discs, seals and nozzles.
• Removing sea growth and salt damage from pipes and equipment without damaging the original coating.
• Removing surface rust from equipment effectively.
• Cleaning of HVAC systems and fans to reduces fire risk and break downs.

Key Benefits Summary:

• Effectively removes heavy oils, bitumen, and corrosive substances from equipment.
• Cleans in situ with minimal or no dismantling, reducing downtime.
• Leaves no residue or by-product waste, minimising waste disposal costs.
• Reduces the need for chemicals and eliminates the risk of grit or media entering and damaging the equipment.
• Increase equipment reliability, reduces downtime, and improves productivity.

In Conclusion, Dry Ice Blasting is a cutting-edge, non-abrasive cleaning process that Leverages recycled C02 pellets, delivering unparalleled benefits to the oil and gas industry. It promotes safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, making it valuable asset in the sectors pursuit of excellence.
