Dry Ice Blasting for Refineries & Petrochemical Plants
Experience the Fastest, Safest, Most Environmentally Friendly Way to Remove the Most Difficult Refinery & Petrochemical Adherents
Dry ice blasting for petrochemical plants and refineries is designed to remove a wide variety of adherents where hydroblasting and other abrasive media could create a hazard, collateral damage, and would require an unacceptably long period of downtime for clean-up.
Dry ice blasting is also an ideal process in complex settings where rotating equipment, running machinery, electrical equipment, other workers, and inside process vessels make the use of other blasting media a messy, costly and time-consuming proposition.
No other cleaning method is faster, safer, more meticulous, more cost-effective, and more environmentally friendly for cleaning up almost anything in refineries and petrochemical plants. This is especially true when performed by an experienced dry ice blasting partner like Polar Clean with our decades of experience with refinery and petrochemical turnaround and emergency response cleaning.
