Pipe, Tube & Duct ID Cleaning with Dry Ice

Get amazing results in tight spaces with internal diameter (ID) dry ice blasting

Dry ice blasting is a faster, easier and environmentally friendly method of cleaning the internal diameter of tubes, pipes and ductwork, even in hard-to-reach spaces.

Using our proprietary, customized nozzles and years of experience, Polar Clean can achieve amazing results in little time and with no secondary clean-up. Benefits include:

  • Environmentally friendly, non-chemical formulation
  • Non-abrasive, and not harmful to welds and the tube or pipe surfaces
  • Dissipates on contact with no secondary media to clean up
  • Water-free: does not contribute to rust like hydro-blasting does

Robotic Inspection

On larger projects, robotic equipment can be utilized as well, which helps to:

  • Eliminate fire hazards
  • Improve air quality
  • Ensure compliant results for regulatory inspections
  • Reduce operational costs
  • Eliminate pest and insects
  • Boost production quality

Additional Capabilities

Boroscope inspection and documentation methods can capture before-and-after conditions when required.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine Learning (ML) technology are also available to quantify the state of cleanliness on designated surface areas. This technology can guide the cleaning process, reducing over-cleaning or under-cleaning – increasing cycle time and reducing downtime.

What Is the Difference Between Pipes & Tubes?

It is common for companies to use the words “pipe” and “tube” interchangeably. Polar Clean can clean both. However, there are differences between pipes and tubes. The short answer is that pipes are round and typically measured by their inside diameter (ID) to distribute fluids and gases. Whereas tubes can be round, rectangular, squared, or oval and are measured by their outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness (WT).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning method that is environmentally friendly. The process uses a variety of sizes of dry ice products, including rice sized dry ice pellets, nuggets, and shaved block ice. Unlike other types of blasting media, dry ice blasting leaves no secondary waste to be cleaned up, and does not utilize water or chemicals in the process.

When is dry ice blasting a good fit?

Dry ice blasting is a useful and effective option for applications where the use of water, chemicals or collateral media would introduce unnecessary hazards or complications, or where abrasive blasting options create an unacceptable risk of damage.

Can dry ice blasting remove paint?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for paint removal. The effectiveness of any method or combination of methods will depend on factors that include the age and condition of the substrate, the thickness of paint layers and whether the paint is lead-based.

How much does dry ice blasting cost?

The cost of dry ice blasting can vary depending on square footage, type of material being cleaned, the amount of dry ice needed, the complexity and location of the job, and the desired outcome. Depending on the application, dry ice blasting is often a cheaper alternative than other forms of blasting: it is fast, requires less downtime and often eliminates the need for extra steps including repainting or reconditioning surfaces. Additionally, there is no need to clean up secondary waste, since no media (e.g. sand or water) remains after the process. Learn more >
