In the petrochemical industry, piping is used extensively for transporting liquid and gaseous substances. Pipe degradation occurs because most of the substances carried are corrosive, combustible, and are transported at high pressures and temperatures. Accumulations of deposits and scale result. These materials affect the safe and reliable operation of pipes.
WATTCO recommends oil flushing in the petrochemical industry for cleaning and maintenance purposes. There are significant advantages. (See Figure 1.) Oil flushing is an important maintenance exercise for the petrochemical industry. It helps remove dirt/contaminants and deposits or scale. Timely oil flushing of industrial and process equipment—including pipes—contributes to reliable plant operation, reduces unpredictable shutdowns, and prevents leakage or explosion due to blockage caused by combustible substances.
Figure 1
WATTCO has created a variety of professional-grade immersion and circulation heaters for the petrochemical industry. Oil flushing equipment must include one of these industrial heaters to transport the hot oil used for cleaning pipes, transportation lines, and lubing hoses for the process equipment.
