Overview

Blancon’s safety trained operators utilize many techniques, including Hydroblasting and Vacuuming equipment, to maintain oil field equipment as well as refinery and petrochemical installations. The greater the challenge, the better Blancon is as your service partner. [Click here to download service brochures]

 

Blancon provides services to support across a broad range of equipment and needs. For example, cleaning of heat exchangers (shell side, tube side & fin fans), reactors, towers, drums and above ground storage tanks.

Blancon uses high pressure, high volume capabilities to clean various pipeline configurations congested with cured resins, de-coke continuous cokers and vapor lines and to de-slag boilers. Blancon also offers Ultra-High Pressure (40K p.s.i.) waterjet technology to prepare welds or surfaces for NDT testing, for cleaning tubes testing, and for "cold" cutting tanks and lines. Recommended pigging applications remove heavy sediment from process lines, crude lines, potable water lines, and fire protection lines.

Tank cleaning using high-pressure water systems help our customers remove sludge and waste materials. In this process we utilize hot/cold water power washers and can provide specially blended chemicals and solvents based upon the situation.

Highly specialized Rope Access crews provide NDT testing services and high-altitude repairs. Blancon’s technicians are experienced and comfortable at height, enabling us to work efficiently in difficult and awkward locations. Our multi-disciplined technicians use rope access methods to safely reach areas of concern and perform the work at hand. Blancon provides a flexible, cost-effective alternative to scaffolding for industries with difficult to reach locations.

Additionally, Blancon offers industrial painting, corrosion prevention and fireproofing services to help maintain the plant at optimal efficiency. Together with partners, Blancon can also offer specialized welders and fabricators and serve on-shore as well as off-shore installations.

  • Far less expensive tank cleaning methodology
  • Faster service by eliminating expensive processing steps associated with other techniques
  • Reduction in the amount of waste generated
  • Fewer number of temporary storage vessels required to store sludge during the service
  • Less manpower and equipment required to accomplish the job
  • Eliminates the need for extremely expensive dewatering and/ or dilutent recovery equipment
  • Ability to keep sludge suspended and pumpable for further processing (to a coker for example)

 

Blancon provides cost effective solutions specialized in reducing and/or eliminating traditional lengthy, costly and complex cleaning work in the petroleum industry

  • Heavy and crude oil tank sludge handling & waste minimization
  • Enhanced oil recovery
