ABOUT SERVICES WHY SIERRA CHEMICALS? CONTACT US CAREERS CHEMICAL CIRCULATIONS Restore Your Equipment Efficiency Safely. Just a 1/8-inch buildup on some heat exchangers can reduce heat exchanger efficiency by as much as 25 percent. However, many facilities face problems with internal fouling of an unknown origin and makeup. Sierra Chemicals has several methods for meeting your cleaning needs to help avoid costly downtime and putting personnel in dangerous confined space entries. Our team will tailor a solution to your specific issues. First, we will lab test the fouling samples, then we’ll implement a cleaning strategy with turnkey solutions using our contaminate-specific chemical package or high-pressure waterjet cleaning. Before work begins our team will conduct job-site walks to verify connection points and ensure a proper cleaning approach. We’ll also conduct a pre-job call to review the scope of work, schedule, work package documentation, safety and environmental applications, and your expectations. We resolve any potential planning, mobilization, execution and post-cleaning issues. Throughout the execution of the job, Sierra Chemicals will communicate all refinery chemical cleaning steps, processes and any changes with you, and after completion, we’ll conduct a post-job review to evaluate results. BENEFITS OF CHEMICAL CIRCULATIONS Equipment is clean down to the metal. Chemical circulations involve a shorter downtime, lowering cost and lost production time. Cleaning is cost-effective. Chemical circulations improve EHS work situations, putting fewer workers at risk. You can choose waterless chemical packages.

Below are a few of those systems and our refinery chemical cleaning packages. AMINE SYSTEMS GLYCOL SYSTEMS CRYOGENIC SYSTEM (CRYO) TRADITIONAL CLEAN-IN-PLACE CHEMICAL CIRCULATIONS BOIL-OUT CHEMICAL CIRCULATIONS TESTING Sierra Chemicals can test fouling and debris at our in-house or third-party laboratories to find the ideal cleaning solution. We will mimic field conditions to achieve optimal results, then formulate a specific chemical package for your fouling problems. Three main factors determine the effectiveness of a clean in place chemical circulation: chemistry, flow and heat. We work to maximize all aspects of the job. EXPLORE OUR RECENT PROJECTS HEAR FROM A CUSTOMER “Being that every location was different, Sierra did a fantastic job understanding all needs of the project. They took care of providing access to elevated areas, providing access to a fresh water source and the containment and disposal of the spent fluid. Sierra conducted pre and post-service calls with us to make sure all portions of the project were handled properly and came in under budget. We were proud to nominate them as a supplier of the year in result of their performance.” – Major Gas Plant Operations Marcellus/Utica TALK TO OUR TEAM Let’s talk about how we can increase your systems’ efficiency and performance with safe, cost-effective refinery chemical cleaning.
