THE Aqua-Milling® PROCESS

FAST SAFE CLEAN

The Aqua-Milling ® process is an approved method for pre-commissioning pipes in a new construction, prior to start-up operation and has been successfully applied in various maintenance jobs.

The Aqua-Milling® cleaning process embraces the most advanced water jet cleaning technology featuring more than one hundred and eighty customised cleaning tools. The remote-controlled Aqua-Milling® system allows the optimisation of all cleaning parameters, such as cutting speed and total overlap of cutting tracks, providing full surface coverage. A milling effect is used to significantly increase the water/ air impact above and beyond what conventional methods can achieve using ultra high-pressure.

This method has been developed to remove millscale and foreign materials left or built-up in the system. Water is the only element used in this process. Aqua-Milling® is listed in Engineering specifications as an approved alternative to Chemical Cleaning and Steam Blowing and has been successfully utilised by SHELL, HESS, ENRON POWER, FLUOR, BETHTEL, BROWN & ROOT, LITWIN, H.B.ZACHARY, KELOG, SIEMENS-WESTINGHOUSE and KTI.

This is a revolutionary cleaning method because it is safer, more efficient, environmentally friendlier and more economical. Traditional technology cannot compete with the Aqua-Milling® process with regard to cost, quality and safety standards.

The Aqua-Milling® process is capable of removing millscale from piping 5/8” (16 mm) up to 15’ (5 mt) in diameter and up to 1000 ft (305 mt ) in length with up to 20 possible changes in a 90 degree direction. Drip legs should have minimum 2” ( 5 cm) entries to allow the milling tool to enter the pipe.

What Aqua-Milling® can do for you?

  • Cleans inside piping with a diameter range from ¾ inch (19 mm) to 15 ft (5 m)
  • Performs cleans on piping up to 1800 ft (600 m) in length
