Our solutions to support the ongoing expansion of the Oil & Gas Industry
The Oil and Gas industry is a lifeblood of the Australian economy. Widely renowned for its rich history of technical innovation and resourcefulness, today this exponentially growing industry employs over 19,000 people and accounts for over $30 Billion in annual exports. In November 2018, Australia took over from Qatar to become the largest exporter of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in the world.
While oil production has declined in recent years, new discoveries of natural gas reserves and innovative projects in floating LNG, hydraulic fracturing and advanced offshore geotechnical engineering will ensure the continued growth of this important industry as the world makes the transition to cleaner forms of energy.
To guarantee the sustainability of the industry and to strengthen Australia’s position as a world leader in gas production, it is essential that the machinery at our Oil and Gas facilities are operating at maximum capacity and longevity.
This is why Solidus Industries are the Oceania distributor for ZOK International. Their flagship product is ZOK 27, an all in one water based gas turbine compressor cleaner and corrosion inhibitor that is the product of choice for the Oil and Gas industry.
Equally renowned for its powerful, corrosion inhibiting formulation, Solidus Industries’ multi purpose industrial cleaner Zi-400 HD is highly effective in removing residual build-up on heat exchangers, in pipelines and is also an internationally renowned oil spill dispersant.

LNG & Natural Gas Processing Plants
Following extraction at an offshore or onshore rig, the first port of call in any natural gas or LNG production chain is the natural gas processing plant.
Solidus Industries provide revolutionary cleaning products for gas turbine compressors, heat exchangers, pipelines and general plant and equipment to support the maximum efficiency, output and longevity of LNG and natural gas processing facilities.
Gas Compressor Stations
Australia’s natural gas transmission pipeline is a vast interconnected network that spans over 29,000km. With increasing investment in unconventional gas exploration and CSG-to-LNG export projects, the efficiency and adaptability of Australia’s natural gas transmission pipeline is now more crucial than ever.
It is no secret that transporting natural gas over such vast distances would not be possible without our natural gas compressor stations.
Solidus Industries supply a range of world-class cleaning solutions to support natural gas compressor stations to operate at maximum efficiency and profitability.

Oil Refineries
Since the emergence of state-of-the-art mega refineries in Asia, coupled with the traditionally prolific production coming out of the USA, Russia, Europe and the Middle East, the oil refining sector has become an extremely competitive global market. For Australia’s remaining oil refineries to stay competitive and continue to supply the domestic market, it is essential that they operate at maximum efficiency, safety and reliability while keeping costs down.
Solidus Industries provide a range of highly specialised cleaning products to ensure that oil refineries maintain peak production levels, while minimising fuel consumption and easily avoidable maintenance costs.
Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms
Offshore oil and gas extraction requires remarkable feats of engineering. Today, deepwater drilling technologies allow us to extract valuable natural resources from oil and gas reserves residing at an astonishing 3.5km below sea level.
With over 30% of the world’s oil and gas supply coming from offshore production, the environmental and logistical challenges are well worth the effort.
At Solidus Industries, we supply a range of internationally acclaimed cleaning products to support offshore oil and gas platforms to operate at maximum output and profitability, while maintaining the highest levels of safety and environmental care.
Offshore Oil Spills
For many people, the mention of oil spills immediately brings up images of catastrophic environmental disasters. However, well blowouts and sinking oil tankers are not the only situations that call for an effective and environmentally friendly Oil Spill Dispersant (OSD). As industry professionals know, a more common need is to deal with small but persistent oil weeps originating from offshore oil and gas platforms.
Even in areas where there has been no drilling or exploration, it is common for small amounts of oil to seep up into the sea from untapped oil reserves below the seabed. Fortunately the ocean has a microbiological system of breaking up the polluting oil known as bioremediation. The ideal oil spill dispersant will support this natural process in man-made scenarios, while having as little environmental impact as possible.
Solidus Industries’ Zi-400 is an internationally renowned oil spill dispersant. Tested in 2010 against seven other dispersants in the USA, Zi-400 ranked as the most ecologically friendly product in the test, with high profile products such as Corexit and Dispersit found to be moderately and highly toxic to two species of shrimp and small fish respectively.
When sprayed undiluted onto an oil slick via boat or airplane, Zi-400 HD’s colloidal formula coupled with its advanced surfactant technology effectively divides the oil into tiny particles without emulsification, allowing them to float up to be naturally consumed by microbes living at the surface of the water. This ensures rapid and effective bioremediation.
