Capabilities

Methods & Techniques

Proven methods and advanced technologies, matched to each project's needs.

Overview

We apply proven methods and advanced technologies to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions tailored to each project's needs.

6.1 Tank Cleaning

Cleaning tanks using super-heated steam to convert sludge into pumping fluids.

  • Cleaning tanks using super-heated steam to convert sludge into pumping fluids
  • Both techniques manned and non-manned (automated and circulation methods)
  • Petrolink always uses steam, pneumatic, and hydraulic power driven equipment with non-spark tools

6.2 Sludge Recovery

Expert analysis and optimized treatment that converts heavy residues into light crude.

  • Expert analysis — based on sludge sampling
  • Optimized treatment — proper method or chemical additives selected
  • Value recovery — converts heavy wax and paraffins into light crude
  • Safe handling — transferred to safe storage and hazardous waste landfill

6.3 Chemical Cleaning

A date-driven chemical cleaning process, precisely matched to your metallurgy.

  • Closed-loop cleaning systems — dynamic closed-loop circulation for heat exchanger tubes and shells, compressor and turbine suction/discharge lines and pipelines
  • Bare metal protection — chemical engineers select specific inhibitors and cleaning agents aggressively targeting scale, rust, and hydrocarbon fouling while retaining perfectly non-destructive to bare metal surfaces
  • Multi-phase cleaning — depending on the contaminant, our technique involves sequenced phases of degassing, acid cleaning, and final passivation to restore original flow and heat transfer efficiencies
  • Compliance driven execution — all chemical mixing, handling, and circulation processes strictly adhere to chemical handling procedures, efficient neutralization, waste minimization, and environmental protection guidelines
