The Advantages

N-SPEC®’s unique chemicals and services allow pipeline operators to clean their line online, eliminating downtime and production losses. With the proprietary online high-pressure separation unit (the N-SPECTOR), cleaning liquids, sludge and deposits are drained before entering the client’s process facilities.

Increased pipeline efficiency

With the removal of sediments from pipelines, the original internal diameter (ID) is regained, allowing for designed maximum flow capacity with no additional horsepower requirements.

Reduced corrosion potential

After a cleaning job with N-SPEC®, the application of corrosion inhibition products will be far more effective, as they are able to coat the internal bare pipe wall steel in a more uniform concentration.

Improved data collection

Cleaning pipelines with N-SPEC®, prior to inline inspections, will greatly improve the quality of data acquired, aiding to your pipeline integrity management and reducing the chance of having to run the inline inspection tool a second time.

Costs reductions

N-SPEC’s ability to clean pipelines more efficiently than traditional cleaning methods do, leads to substantial cost savings; it requires less pigging runs, labour hours, chemical volumes and waste disposal.

Turnkey services

Brenntag offers with N-SPEC® not only chemicals but also a team of highly trained specialists, experienced in all aspects of pipeline cleaning to perform the job in a professional and responsible manner.
