• CLEAN OF 400 m G.R.E. PIPELINE
• Traditionally Downtime limitation of 4 days
• Traditional companies quoted minimum 8 days as
  only 200 bar water pressure allowed. Danger of
  damage to soft pipe material. Access from one end
  only.
• Tube Tech 4 days
• Modified, Hydrowhip performs up to 1 km lengths
  Bespoke combination of 5 systems adopted as fall
  back due to criticality plus CCTV.
• Benefits 2 million

9

• BLOCKED CRUDE OIL LINE
• Traditionally
  
• 18 days, H.P.J. Substantial waste costs,
• Slow. Cold cut every 100 m
• Tube Tech
  
• 5 days, DryMole , Cut every 1000 m,
• 98 of oil recovered
• Benefits 300,000

10

• FURFURAL HEAT EXCHANGERS
• Traditionally
• Re-tube, UHP or Shot blasting. 60 cleanliness.
  Profile leaves keyed surface. Hence re-tube is
  cheaper option.
• Tube Tech
• 100 clean Rotaflex V TM. Descales and polishes
  tube surface. No key, 99 cleanliness.
• Benefits
• No Re-tube necessary

11

• EO2 TUBULAR CATALYST REACTOR
• Traditionally Est. 60 days
• Tickling, rods and hammer, pneumatic road drills,
  turbines.. Sand / Shot blasting process created
  substantial waste, downtime and tube damage.
• Tube Tech 10 days
• In house designed self loading Softdrill.
  Unblocks, de-scales and polishes. Very quick.
  Simultaneous deposit extraction. No blasting
  process needed.
• Benefits 4 million

12
FUSED VERTICAL EVAPORATOR Traditionally 6
days Manual single H.P.J. Semi rigid lancing.
High risk of hydraulic action. 70 clean.
Operator fatigue Tube Tech 2 days 2 4
lances simultaneously. Automated. Patented
combined cleaning head. Safer, Less waste. 100
clean. Benefits 300,000
13
BASIC HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING ? Traditionally

Manual / Auto multi lancing in cleaning bay.
Non rotational lances creates Tramlines. High
volume of waste. Difficulty with blockages   ?
Tube Tech 4 x faster, In situ cleaning
possible, 5 x less water 100 . No high pressure
water involved. 100 tube coverage ? Benefits
Downtime saving. Cheaper. Higher standard of
clean. Safer. Plant productivity  
14

• AC FIN FAN CONDENSERS (INTERNAL CLEANING)
• Traditionally 5 days
• HPJ , 1000 bar. waste falls to ground, Dangerous,
  Operator fatigue, Smeared deposit extends
  cleaning time, Operator dependant. Slow.
  Cleaning standard limited. Hydraulic action risk.
  
• Tube Tech 2 days
  
• Modified freelance Only SHP spinning system
  available, Automated process, 4 x Faster, 100
  safer. IRIS Cleanliness guaranteed. Simultaneous
  inspection capability. Waste contained.
  Polishing improves heat transfer, reduces key
  factor.
• Benefits 15,000 per day

15
FURFURAL HAIRPIN EXCHANGERS TraditionalHair
pin bends never cleaned, could not unblock
bends. 6 days. Bundle pulled Tube Tech3 days
Micro flex, Usound , 100 of U Bends cleared,
polished. Tubes polished, longer run times,
increased vacuum Benefits 6 gt 3 days, No
cranes, scaffolding. Increased production, longer
run times
16

• VCFE / TEXAS TOWER
• Traditionally 10 days
• HPJ Lancing. Risk due to confined space working.
  Very Slow. 60 cleanliness
• Tube Tech 4 days
• Bespoke Safetyfeed, Patented Ceramic cleaning
  heads. Simultaneous tube inspection
• Benefits 3.5 m

17

• POLYMER VESSEL
• Traditionally 21 days
• H.P.J, Chipping hammers, Road drills, Solvents
• Tube Tech 3 days
• Fast Ice , WysperJet, Remote and robotic
  manipulator. No vessel entry
• Benefits 150,000

18
AC FIN FAN CONDENSERS (External clean)
Traditionally 28 days Rope, wire access,
safety harness, scaffolding. Highly dangerous,
H.P.J. distorts aluminium fins, deposit
compacted, 80 cleanliness Tube Tech 10
days Far safer, no rope, no wires, no scaffold,
no safety harness required. Cleaned entirely from
gantry level. No fin damage. Tube nest usound
tank,100 cleanliness. Benefits 2.75 to 5 MW
19

• FLARE LINE CLEANING
•  
• Traditional
• Cold cutting required. H.P.J. hoses with limited
• Reach. Waste volume. Time consuming
•   
• Tube Tech
  
• Dry pig/drift technology. 1 to 16 branches
• Cleaned dry. No cold cutting necessary.
• Class 1 zoned inspection equipment
• Benefits
• No secondary waste. Reduced plant
• downtime. No cold cutting or waste costs.
• Fully cleaned and inspected

20

• SURFACE PREPARATION
•  
• Traditionally
• Open Shot blasting, Dusty, spark hazard, Re
  blasting impregnates Chloride salts, coating
  frequency every 2 years.
• Twin coat Epoxy 48 hrs cure time
•  
• Tube Tech
• Non abrasive methods, no spark hazard, negligible
  salt levels.
• Benefits
• TT permacoat 30 seconds cure time, Longer
  periods between paint coats

21

• USX FURNACE TUBES x 14
• Traditionally 1 day per pipe
• Using 20,000 psi HPJ, flexible hose,which can
  get stuck. Tramlining caused by static jet. 80
  cleanliness.
• Tube Tech 1 hr per pipe
• WysperflexTM Rotary SHP nozzle,and mechanical
  combination withbespoke guidance system.
  Plussimultaneous video inspection.
• Benefits 3,000 Per hr

22

• DECOKING OF BLOCKED FURNACE TUBE
• Traditional
  
• No known cleaning system. Re tube
• Tube Tech

What clients think of us !

• ..Tube Tech were able to provide a comprehensive
  range of cleaning and inspection skills to
  complete the challenging work scope within
  timescales and standards that no other global
  contractor was able to match as a result we have
  awarded a 3 to 5 year term for these
  works

What Clients think of us!
I would estimate the financial Benefits to Shell,
as a direct result of Tube Techs input, could be
as much as 200 million dollars. I cannot
emphasise enough, the value of encouraging a
working relationship with an innovative Company
such as Tube Tech International Ltd
