Plant Wide Maintenance Turnaround Dry Abrasive Cleaning of Tube IDs Problem
Mid-South Refinery – 2006 Plant Wide Maintenance Turnaround Dry Abrasive Cleaning of Tube IDs Problem – In previous maintenance turnarounds, a 195 mb/d refinery had poor results in achieving clean cooling water exchanger tube IDs using typical hydroblasting methods.
