ESG has come to the forefront in petrochemical and refining facilities around the globe.
Achieve corporate sustainability goals without breaking your budget
With mounting pressures from shareholders to meet sustainability goals, environmental cost savings now play a role in decision making for turnaround planning teams. What is your team doing to reduce your carbon footprint?
Traditional high-pressure water (HPW) uses significantly more water than necessary to clean heat exchanger and condenser tubes. Often times, those tubes do not achieve a test-ready clean after blasting for a considerable amount of time. Conco crews have cleaned over 100 million condenser and heat exchanger tubes with the exclusive ProSeries™ tube cleaning system that allows crews to effectively clean more tubes per shift without the wasteful and dangerous application of high-pressure water or chemicals. Conco uses no chemicals, just low-pressure water of 500 pounds per square inch in its patented, proven tube cleaning technology to deliver superior safety and performance.
This low-pressure method requires 80% to 90% less water than is required in standard high-pressure cleaning methods. One hundred percent of that water is efficiently controlled by a technician-operated water gun and is solely dedicated to cleaning each tube, rather than being released at the constant rate inherent in high-pressure cleaning. With less water used, the need for wastewater treatment is greatly reduced, effectively shrinking the carbon footprint of customers' plants. Conco understands the importance of environmental cost savings and can provide pre- and post- job sustainability reports to customers. The report will show the approximate number of gallons of water saved and corresponding savings seen in water treatment costs. Also in the report is an estimated calculation of budgetary savings that are available upon request.
Achieve corporate sustainability goals without breaking your budget
TruFit™ tube cleaning services are backed by over 90 years of know-how and are complemented by a full line of TruFit tube cleaners that can tackle anything in their path. For instance, a Houston petrochemical facility engaged Conco to clean 23 heat exchangers in place, totaling just over 65,000 tubes over the usual HPW methodology. Conco estimates an over 7,000 hour reduction in at-risk person-hours, approximately 1500 hours time gained for coincident work, and approximately 1,800,000 gallons of water less in consumption and post-treatment when compared to 20K HPW consumption. With assumed combined acquisition and treatment costs of 50 cents per gallon, savings are estimated at approximately $900,000 for this turnaround.
How big of an impact would almost $1 million make on your budget? Would this number catch the attention of your company’s cost analysts? There is no need to implement HPW blasting on heat exchanger and condenser tube cleaning when Conco’s TruFit services will garner superior results in a timely manner and reduce the environmental impact of a turnaround.
