How Hydrolaze Prevents Costly Downtime in the Energy Industry
Unplanned downtime adds millions in costs and lost productivity. Hydrolaze, a form of high-pressure jetting, helps prevent schedule loss and other issues that lead to costly downtime. Here are some ways our hydrolaze service can prevent costly downtime for your business.
What is Hydrolaze?
Hydrolaze, also known as aquamilling or hydromilling, is a cleaning process that uses highly pressurized water (15,000 psi to 20,000 psi) to remove debris, scale, and other contaminants from pipelines and equipment by rotating along the inner diameter of the pipe. This high-pressure rotation removes all foreign materials and attachments between the high-pressure nozzle and the pipe wall. Hydrolaze is:
- Faster and as precise as traditional methods
- Does not require additional chemicals
- Does not leave any chemical residue
- Does not require special waste handling or disposal
- Is essential for operational efficiency and eco-friendly results
Hydrolaze is an effective service that improves our clients’ bottom lines by recovering lost schedules and reducing the resources required to meet their system’s cleaning criteria.
Choosing the Right Hydrolaze Provider
Selecting the right hydrolaze service provider ensures your facility benefits from safe, effective, and efficient pipeline cleaning. Some essential factors that indicate a partner is the best choice for your operations include:
- A track record of successful projects in the oil and gas industry.
- Demonstrates knowledge of both the Hydrolaze system and the system to be cleaned. Some form of engineering design that adequately outlines the goals, methods, and obstacles should always be provided and approved before Hydrolaze operations.
- Has All the Appropriate Equipment. Not all forms of high-pressure jetting are Hydrolaze. The provider should have specific equipment for the pressure and technique of Hydrolaze cleaning.
- Familiarity with regulatory requirements that surround your industry, including EPA and OSHA standards.
- A strong safety record with minimal incidents over their operational history.
- Transparency in timelines and ability to meet project deadlines.
Always Make Sure Providers Know What They Are Offering!
Not every form of high-pressure jetting is Hydrolaze. Hydrolaze is defined by the proper volumes, application times, pressures, distances, and multi-directional changes needed to achieve the desired result.
If you want to know the exact terminology a professional provider will use and how they can help your company, then start with a company that uses the proper accepted terminology for Hydrolaze. If they are not using the proper terminology, then they are probably using equipment for other high-pressure jetting techniques. If they are not using the proper equipment, then they are not doing what they say they do.
PSI does not simply claim to do Hydrolase cleaning- we invented the term in 2001! We say what we do, and we do what we say. Our track record for successful hydrolase cleaning is second to none.
