Direct management of two industrial cleaning contractor companies providing cleaning services of 50+ Process and Utility units idled 7+ years to restore 210kbpd of refining capacity (formerly Hovensa)

Overall reinstatement scope consisted of 27 process units that were idled for 7+ years, including 2 Crude units, 4 Amine Regeneration units, 3 600# Steam Boilers, 3 LPG Treaters, 3 Sour Water Strippers, 3 Distillate Desulfurizers, 2 Platforming/Hydrobon units, 1 Vacuum unit, 1 Coker. Estimated total piping 2-3M LF including ~500,000 LF of OSBL piping. Over 550 tons of rust scale/waste removed from piping within 8 months.

Primary cleaning methods included:

• Hydrolazing/Hydroblasting
• Targeted/Untargeted Continuous Steam Blows
• Hydropigging/Froth Flushing
• Chemical Cleaning
• Traditional Pigging/Pig Trains
• Hydrocarbon Line Steam Outs
• Pop/Continuous Airblows/Drying
• Boiler Degreasing

Scope Development and strategic placement of resources to facilitate tight startup schedule/precommissioning activities, while also making bulk cleaning process for upcoming startup units.
