Supporting Gas Compressor Stations to Operate at Maximum Efficiency

Australia’s natural gas transmission pipeline is a vast interconnected network that spans over 29,000km, connecting gas markets in Western Australia, Northern Territory and the entire east coast from South Australia up to Queensland down to Tasmania. In the domestic market, this distribution network delivers valuable natural gas to households, businesses, power generation, transportation and industry.

Add to this the increasing development of unconventional gas exploration and CSG-to-LNG export projects, the efficiency and adaptability of Australia’s natural gas transmission pipeline is more crucial than ever.

Transporting natural gas over such vast distances would not be possible without our natural gas compression stations.

Solidus Industries supply a range of world class cleaning solutions to ensure that natural gas compression stations are operating at maximum efficiency and profitability to ensure the continued growth of the natural gas industry.

Gas Turbine Compressor Cleaning

Unless they are cleaned regularly, gas turbine compressors can lose up to 10% of their efficiency. This reduced performance naturally leads to decreased production levels and ultimately cuts into the bottom line.

This is why Solidus Industries are the Oceania distributors of ZOK 27, a powerful water based gas turbine compressor cleaner and corrosion inhibitor that has achieved astounding results across the world, boosting engine performance, reducing fuel consumption, minimising downtime and increasing the overall lifespan of engine components.

We recommend developing a custom washing schedule of on-line and off-line washes with ZOK 27 to guarantee the maximum efficiency and durability of your gas turbine compressors.

The product of choice for the Oil and Gas industry, ZOK 27 is officially certified by Siemens, General Electric, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi, Pratt & Whitney, Solar Turbines and Kawasaki.

Heat Exchanger Cleaners

During operation, it is natural for fin and plate heat exchangers to gradually build up dust and other contaminants on their thermal elements. These contaminants create an unwanted insulation layer on the heat exchanger, effectively reducing its thermal efficiency.  Similarly, shell and tube heat exchangers can build up scale and residue on the tubes and reduce efficiencies.

If the heat exchangers at a natural gas compressor station aren’t running at maximum efficiency, the compressors will need to work harder and burn more fuel to produce the same power output. This loss of efficiency can have a substantial impact. Not only does burning more fuel increase costs of production, it also increases the environmental footprint of the plant.

Our safe, reliable and powerful Zi-400 HD Industrial cleaner is the perfect cleaning product for heat exchangers. Not only is it highly effective at removing residual build-ups, it is also scientifically proven to inhibit corrosion. This is particularly crucial when cleaning the aluminium fins used in many heat exchangers, as aluminium is highly reactive and susceptible to corrosion.

Applied with Solidus Industries’ Apollo Foaming Units, protecting the lifespan of your heat exchanger while guaranteeing optimal thermal efficiency has never been easier.

General Plant and Equipment Cleaner

Since natural gas compression stations are most commonly found in harsh isolated environments, the risk of corrosion of plant and equipment such as rotating machinery, pressure vessels (tanks), the walls of the facility and framework of the plant is greatly increased.

Build-ups of dust, dirt, salts and bird and animal poo are all highly corrosive and also impact on the professional impression of the facility from an aesthetic perspective.

Implementing a regular cleaning schedule with our multi-purpose cleaner Zi-400 HD Industrial and Solidus Industries Wash Kits will prevent corrosion of plant and equipment, extend the life of your paint work and maximise the longevity of your valuable assets.
