During normal everyday production deposits of wax and heavy crude can build up on process piping and equipment internals.
The deposits of wax can and often do cause blockages whilst both wax and heavy crude can help shield bacteria and areas of corrosion. Removal of waxes and heavy crude deposits help reduce flow restrictions, reduce localised microbially induced corrosion and are essential to clean / treat the subsequent problems that the blockages or corrosion cause.
Wax deposits are typically caused by poorly soluble wax which is present in the crude, becoming insoluble as temperature drops thus forming a solid wax. This is treated using a solvent based product which helps remove the wax by solubilising it and making it liquid enough for removal. These solvent products contain solvents that are much more able to dissolve the wax at normal temperatures and keep it dissolved in solution.
Degreasing is required to help remove oils, greases heavy crudes etc on surfaces prior to treatment. This is required to make the surfaces water wet and allow cleaning chemicals contact the problem area underneath the oil and grease which can act as a barrier to water-based cleaning chemicals. Typically cleaning chemicals work much more effectively – leading to a higher standard of cleanliness – when the surfaces to be treated are properly degreased beforehand. However, in cases where the grease / oil contamination is not high it may be possible to use a combined product where the active degreasing ingredient is present in the treatment chemical and help reduce the amount of chemical waste generated.
Ranging from scale dissolvers to rust removers,sanitisers and general degreasers the SANCCUS Chemical Cleaning products have been designed with a simple goal - to get the job done in the safest and the most efficient manner.
J-Clean is a heavy duty alkaline degreaser, available in 3 different grades. J-Clean provides excellent cleaning action with a green environmental profile. Safe to use on both metals and plastics.
J-Clean M is powerful waterbased micro emulsion degreaser - perfect product for the degreasing of surfaces where a high alkaline product is unsuitable. J-Clean provides excellent cleaning action with a green environmental profile. Safe to use on both metals and plastics.
SanWash 10 is a dual surfactant waterbased heavy duty alkaline degreaser useful for multiple applications. The dual surfactant system of SanWash 10 provides excellent cleaning action with a green environmental profile.
Pipesurf 10 is a surfactant concentrate most commonly added to the seawater used as the final part of a deoiling chemical train. Pipesurf 10 provides excellent cleaning action with a green environmental profile.
Sand Storm 1 has been designed to help wet and release entrained oil from sand allowing the water used during the cleaning process to wash the oil from the sand leaving the sand clean and oil free.
Panasolv 10 is a heavy duty cleaning and degreasing solvent product suitable for multiple applications. Panasolv 10 is non-flammable and provides exceptional cleaning action with a responsible environmental profile.
Panasolv 30 is a highly effective wax dissolving solvent with added surfactant to aid wettability and penetration of waxes where water may be present. Panasolv 30 is non-flammable and provides exceptional wettability and penetrating power.
Rust Surf is a highly concentrated corrosion product remover / dissolver combined with a degreaser for stainless steels and other higher grade steels, available in 2 variations. To be used when a separate initial degreasing is not feasible.
Rust Surf CST is a mild or carbon steel corrosion product remover / dissolver combined with a degreaser for use in one fill cleaning applications. To be used when a separate initial degreasing is not feasible.
