At Kanooz, we specialize in the design, cleaning, testing, and commissioning of pipelines, including both intra-plant and trunk-lines. Our involvement spans various phases of a pipeline's life, from construction and operation to routine monitoring and decommissioning.
The Pipeline Services include:
Pre-commissioning Clean Up of Piping:
Kanooz has a proven track record of engineering and executing pre-commissioning activities such as pipeline pigging, testing, flushing, drying to dew point levels, and preservation works for major industry players. We have successfully completed turnkey pigging and drying projects for critical oxygen service and hydrocarbon pipelines.
High-Velocity Flushing (HV Flush):
Our HV Flush system is designed to effectively flush pipelines of any diameter, length, or change in direction. By generating a frothed slug of liquid propelled at high velocity through the pipe, this method efficiently removes debris and loose scale, requiring minimal temporary piping and no circulation pumps. Each application is engineered to provide sufficient cleaning force to lift debris from pipe walls and transport it out of the piping system.
HIGH VELOCITY OIL FLUSHING SERVICES
High Velocity Oil Flushing involves circulating lubricating oil at a rate three or more times higher than the normal flow rate of the system pump. This increased flow rate creates a "scrubbing" effect through molecular implosion, driven by high frictional forces. As a result, adhered contaminants on the piping walls are dislodged and transported to downstream filtration points. Multiple filtration points strategically placed along the flushed loop immediately capture and retain the removed particulates.
Rapid thermal shocking of the flushed loop aids in the removal of scale and attached contaminants by subjecting the piping to alternating heating and cooling cycles. The heat causes expansion of carbon steel piping, stretching the contaminants, while intermittent introduction of cool fluid induces quick contraction of the piping. As contaminants do not expand or contract with the piping, they are effectively dislodged from the walls and captured by downstream filtration devices.
High Velocity Oil Flushing typically achieves a particle count result of NAS 6 or cleaner in a minimal flushing duration compared to non-high velocity flushing procedures. This method ensures efficient removal of contaminants, maintaining optimal cleanliness levels in the lubrication system.
