Industrial Pipeline Cleaning

Internal cleaning of refinery and process pipelines.

Overview

Pipelines accumulate scale, hydrocarbons, and product residue that throttle flow, reduce thermal transfer, and create safety hazards during maintenance. IMS delivers end-to-end internal pipeline cleaning across refineries, terminals, and process plants.

Our methods combine mechanical pigging trains with inhibited chemical circulation and high-pressure water jetting up to 500 bar, selected per pipeline geometry, deposit type, and the operational window agreed with the client.

Every project includes nitrogen purging, gas-free certification, and a documented closeout package suitable for refinery turnaround audits.
