Seeking Carbon Steel Pipe Cleaning Technology

A SpecialChem Client is looking for cleaning technology for carbon steel pipes in the field during pre-commissioning.

Cleaning of steel pipes in the field during commissioning of big piping systems is very time consuming when using conventional methods like acid pickling, neutralizing and flushing.
A more efficient, cost effective technology (where less equipment is needed for instance) would be extremely valued by the SpecialChem Client).

Pipe systems are built in the field using carbon steel pipes. The pipes are normally welded together. The inside of these pipes need to be cleaned before taken into use, ensuring that no rust, slag or other contaminants remain in the pipe system.

• Pipe sizes used are from 20mm to 400mm
• Length can be up to tens of meters
• At atmospheric conditions

When the solution is tested and seen feasible, the SpecialChem Client is willing to implement the solution as fast as possible.

The SpecialChem Client is interested in innovative cleaning processes allowing removing of rust, slag and other contaminants.
