Introduction

 

The build-up of solids or sediment in pipelines can cause a significant decline in operating efficiency, especially in deep water where depths and water temperature can create a variety of flow problems.

 

Our many years of experience in handling contaminated pipeline systems, both onshore and offshore, have led to the development of an innovative package of environmentally-friendly cleaning solutions, marketed under the N-SPEC® brand name.

 

A unique feature of N-SPEC® chemicals and services is that they allow pipeline operators to clean their line online, eliminating downtime and production losses. We offer this expertise from experience in more than 400 projects all around the world.

 

Our patented chemical cleaning method makes use of specially formulated tensides to emulsify pipeline sediments rather than scraping them out with traditional mechanical devices.

 

The N-SPEC® technology has successfully removed paraffin, waxes, black powder, hydrates, scales, and sand and metal scraps both onshore and offshore.

 

Application Examples

 

N-SPEC® has been successfully applied in:

 

• Gas pipelines (onshore/offshore);
• Oil pipelines for crude and processed products (onshore/offshore);
• Product pipelines in refineries and petrochemical plants;
• Amine units in refineries;
