Increase production uptime by reducing cleaning time and equipment failure

 

Learn More

The key to peak performance in the oil and gas industry is clean electrical and processing equipment.

Dry ice blasting machines are an environmentally sustainable solution for a wide range of applications, including removing heavy bitumen and oil buildup to surface preparation for non-destructive testing in upstream, midstream and downstream environments. Cold Jet’s dry ice blasting equipment for oil & gas helps you run at peak performance.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Ensure proper maintenance and operational efficiency

Dry ice blasting cleans production, electrical and power generation equipment online, allowing for more frequent cleaning and maintenance, which results in reduced downtime and risk of failure.

  • Reduce downtime Clean faster and more effectively
  • Clean equipment in-place Little to no disassembly
  • Dry process Allows for immediate repainting or recoating
  • Easily remove heavy buildup Oil, bitumen, corroding agents, etc.
  • Safely remove surface contaminants Failed coating, corrosion, soluble salts, chloride, etc.
  • No secondary waste stream
  • Non-abrasive Eliminate abrasive cleaning methods
  • Non-destructive testing Remove surface contaminants for more accurate readings
  • Operationally safe Reduce chemicals and tedious manual cleaning
  • Environmentally sustainable

The fact that we do not have any secondary waste besides the product that we are blasting off of the radiator is really appealing to the oil companies. We are also not muddying up the location with water from pressure washers.
