Kanooz provides comprehensive Decoking and Descaling services for fired heater tubes and pipelines utilizing specially designed studded pigs and Decoking Machineries. Mechanical Decoking by pigging method has proven to be the most effective, safer, and environmentally friendly method for decoking fired heaters.
Decoking Process:
The decoking process involves a closed-loop recirculation of pig driving medium for the cleaning operation. Metal studs protruding from the poly foam pig scrape and remove coke deposits while passing through the tube. A controlled amount of water flows around the pig and past the cleaning heads, flushing loose coke deposits ahead of the moving pig and collecting them in a tank.
Decoking Equipment:
The decoking/descaling process employs various types and sizes of pigging materials and tool configurations depending on the type and hardness of coke/scale. The equipment used to drive the pig through the tubes/pipes is custom-built to suit the specific requirements of the operation.
Kanooz's state-of-the-art DOUBLE PUMPER decoking machines represent the pinnacle of efficiency in decoking operations. These machines have the capability to decoke two passes simultaneously, leveraging 2000-gallon pumps. This innovative design significantly reduces decoking time compared to conventional decoking machines.
Benefits of Decoking by Pigging
Decoking by pigging stands out as a reliable, safe, and efficient method for maintaining furnace integrity and prolonging equipment lifespan.
DECOKING & PIGGING EQUIPMENT
Mobile and Semi-Automated Decoking Units:
Kanooz's decoking units are self-contained and mounted on mobile trailers, enabling rapid mobilization and easy access to work locations without the need for cranes or additional handling equipment. These semi-automated units are equipped with state-of-the-art pressure-flow instrumentation, allowing operators to precisely control the direction, speed, and location of the pig. This advanced control capability helps eliminate scenarios of stuck pigs and allows operators to monitor movements through desktop monitors.
Inline Inspection by Intelligent/Smart Pigging:
In collaboration with strategic partners, Kanooz offers intelligent/smart pigging services for inline inspection of fired heater tubes and pipelines. These services include comprehensive inspection tasks conducted through long-term and short-term contracts. Leveraging advanced technology, Kanooz ensures thorough and accurate inspection of equipment, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
