Laser Cleaning For Petroleum Industry

In the petrochemical industry, because equipment works in harsh environments for a long time, it is easy for the equipment to corrode, rust, etc., seriously affecting the performance of the equipment. Cleaning the surface of the pipeline with solvents and emulsions can only remove oil, grease, Dust and other pollution, but cannot remove the rust layer, oxide scale, scale and other dirt on the surface of the pipe. Using tools such as wire brushes to polish the pipe surface can easily damage the pipe surface, and is labor-intensive, pollutes the environment and is inefficient. The above problems can be solved well by using laser cleaning technology.

 

Compared with traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical friction cleaning, chemical corrosion cleaning, liquid-solid strong impact cleaning, and high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning, laser cleaning has the following five obvious advantages:

 

• 1. Green cleaning: No chemicals are used, and the cleaned waste is solid harmless powder, which can completely solve the environmental pollution problem caused by chemical cleaning.
•  
• 2. Non-damage cleaning: Laser cleaning is non-abrasive, non-contact, and has no thermal effect. It will not produce mechanical force on the object being cleaned, will not damage the surface of the object, will not damage the substrate, and will not produce secondary pollution.
•  
• 3. Low-cost cleaning: The initial investment of the laser cleaning system is high, but it can be used stably for a long time, with a service life of up to 10 years. It has low operating costs, fast speed, high efficiency, saves time, and can quickly obtain a return on investment. In the long run, , lower cost than traditional cleaning methods.
•  
• 4. Precision and precision cleaning: Laser cleaning can remove various types of contaminants on the surface of various materials, achieving a level of cleanliness that cannot be achieved by conventional cleaning. It can also selectively clean contaminants on the material surface without damaging the material surface.
•  
• 5. Automated cleaning: Laser can be transmitted through optical fibers and cooperated with robots to achieve long-distance operations. It can clean complex structural parts that are difficult to reach with traditional methods. This feature also makes the safety of operators in some dangerous places more secure. Can be equipped with automated equipment to achieve automated cleaning.

 

 

Laser cleaning technology meets the cleaning requirements of complex shapes and precise positioning in the industrial processing field, achieving high cleanliness cleaning effects and low overall cost production efficiency. Mainly used in automobile manufacturing, mechanical processing, electronic processing, cultural relic restoration, mold industry, shipbuilding industry, food processing industry, petrochemical and other industries.
