What are Industrial Air Blow Services?
Air blowing services use compressed air to efficiently clean a variety of debris from your facility’s piping systems. It’s also commonly used to dewater your facility’s systems following hydrotesting services. Find out more about the three most common kinds of air blowing here.
Air blowing may also be performed with chemical cleaning services or AquaLazing services to enhance cleanliness on your systems prior to startup activities.
Why is Air Blow Service Important?
If water, construction debris, sand, dirt and other waste remain in your facility’s piping systems after construction, these materials could lead to damage to your piping systems, equipment failure and product contamination down the line.
When your facility’s systems undergo the hydrotesting process between construction and pre-commissioning, dewatering these systems through air blowing is essential. Otherwise, your facility’s critical components can corrode, or the leftover water can freeze. Water left in a fuel gas system can have even more deadly consequences than increased maintenance and repair costs.
