Dry ice cleaning is an innovative cleaning technology that helps the oil and gas industry save time and money. It is similar to other types of abrasive blasting, but the cleaning medium used is solid dry ice in the form of recyclable CO2 pellets. Dry ice is a soft medium and is non-abrasive to many surfaces, making it effective in cleaning precision components and equipment without causing any damage. Due to its dry cleaning method, dry ice can be used to clean electronic components and other sensitive parts - where cleaning with water or other solvents may cause damage. As the ultimate in-situ cleaning tool, dry ice significantly reduces dismantling and preparation time. Additionally, since dry ice sublimates upon contact with the substrate, cleaning time and disposal costs are greatly reduced, while also avoiding the contamination of sensitive moving parts by sand particles.
Dry ice cleaning is a proven cleaning solution for the oil and gas industry. Heat exchangers, generators, radiators, motors, pumps, containers, drilling equipment, and oil tank assemblies can all be quickly and non-destructively cleaned. This method is gentle enough to clean radiators on fracturing pump trucks, yet has enough impact force to remove asphalt deposits from container walls, and efficient flushing ensures that operators can thoroughly inspect pipelines and instruments.
