The fact that we do not have any secondary waste besides the product that we are blasting off of the radiator is really appealing to the oil companies. We are also not muddying up the location with water from pressure washers.
Dry Ice Blasting Equipment for Oil & Gas
Increase production uptime by reducing cleaning time and equipment failure
The key to peak performance in the oil and gas industry is clean electrical and processing equipment.
Dry ice blasting machines are an environmentally sustainable solution for a wide range of applications, including removing heavy bitumen and oil buildup to surface preparation for non-destructive testing in upstream, midstream and downstream environments. Cold Jet’s dry ice blasting equipment for oil & gas helps you run at peak performance.
