Dry Ice Blasting is an
ideal cleaning method for petrochemical sites, as it avoids the
waste management problems associated with conventional cleaning
methods. The process literally blasts small particles of solid
CO2 - dry ice - into the
dirt layer. The particles immediately sublime into a much larger
volume of CO2 gas which
causes the dirt to break up and be carried
away. |
There are no media, chemicals,
or solvents to be disposed of and no abrasion to the surface. Dry Ice
Blasting will remove dirt and grease without any damage to sensitive areas
such as instrumentation, electrical cabling and pneumatic control
circuits.
|
The System 2000 runs
entirely on plant air, (2.5 m3/min at 5.5 bar), available
on most petrochemical sites. This combined with the inert properties
of the cleaning process makes it an attractive alternative to
chemical or solvent-based processes, which both carry disposal
risks. |
