Technical Services

Years of field experience and sophisticated computer software products allow the N-SPEC® division of Coastal Chemical Co. L.L.C. to provide a broad  range of technical services, including cleaning program design, solids monitoring during line cleaning and laboratory services.

 

Program Design

Ideally, N-SPEC® starts with a lab analysis of samples taken from inside the pipeline. This critical step permits N-SPEC® 's skilled pigging technicians to determine the exact cleaning agents necessary to break down and mobilize the deposits. This process helps ensure a successful, thorough cleaning of your pipeline.

 

 

Monitoring

N-SPEC® field technicians provide monitoring during the line-cleaning application to log the date and time of  each pig passage, audibly and visually. Thus, you can calculate the effectiveness of each pig run in real time. This real-time approach to cleaning efficiency allows on-site personnel to ensure that the line is clean before interrupting the process. N-SPEC® data will transfer to your PC for further analysis and permanent records.

 

 

Laboratory Services

 

N-SPEC® 's in-house laboratory backs up the field services, providing a wide selection of analytical procedures designed to support N-SPEC® applications. Quantifying and qualifying the nature of the solids removed from  pilot runs provide N-SPEC® engineers with valuable system knowledge, assisting them in the design of a line-cleaning program that has the highest efficiency possible.
