The importance of clean can’t be overstated. Contaminates are always accumulating in petrochemical systems—and in order to prevent the toxic and flammable conditions that can lead to accidents, they must be completely removed. But cleaning means shut-downs, and shut-downs take time; and the longer the shut-down, the lesser the profits.

When the stakes are this high, it’s crucial to find a solution to put you back in production as soon as possible. In the past, refiners looked to a variety of answers, from open waste water systems, to nitrogen purges, to caustic detergents. Still, shut-downs dragged on. The cleaning wasn’t thorough. The environment suffered, and hazards remained.
