SP International Services uses advanced flushing methods to clean piping systems and reservoir tanks in compressors, turbines, pumps, and generators. High-velocity, turbulent flow flushing with microfiltration effectively removes contaminated lubricating oil, a major cause of bearing damage. Stainless steel systems are degreased before flushing, while carbon steel systems receive chemical cleaning. Techniques like pneumatic vibrators and nitrogen injection aid debris removal, ensuring the system meets strict particle count standards for lubricating, seal, and hydraulic oils.
Chemical Decontamination Process
- Hydrocarbon System Cleaning: The chemical decontamination process effectively cleans and degasses hydrocarbon systems by de-oiling and degreasing, eliminating hazards like LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), H2S, and pyrophoric materials.
- Environmentally Friendly and Safe: The process and chemicals used are designed to be environmentally friendly and safe for the system's metallurgy, posing no corrosion risks.
- Strategic Partnership with REDA: SP Internationals (SP CO) has a strategic alliance with REDA, a local chemical processing and manufacturing company, providing a biodegradable solvent with a neutral pH for the decontamination process.
- Efficient and Time-Saving: The process reduces the steaming duration by half, making man entry possible within 12-24 hours. It allows workers to proceed with mechanical tasks immediately after, improving overall efficiency.
Effective Use of Chemical Cleaning
- Pre-Operational and Operational Cleaning: Chemical cleaning is widely used for both pre-operational and operational cleaning requirements across various systems, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to labor-intensive mechanical methods.
- Improving Equipment Performance: Cleaning industrial equipment with chemical methods helps enhance operational efficiency, prevent mechanical failures, and reduce startup problems, ultimately improving the overall performance of the system.
- Removal of Contaminants: The chemical cleaning process effectively removes inorganic and organic contaminants, mill scale, corrosion, and various types of scale deposits, leaving the system in a passive state.
- Versatility in Cleaning Solutions: A range of solvents and solutions are available for chemical cleaning, tailored to the specific type of fouling and the system's metallurgy. Fin Fan foam cleaning is one such method under the scope of chemical cleaning.
