PIO (Pipe in Operation)-Aqua Milling®

Piping system remains in full service during PIO-Aqua Milling® cleaning operation. Innovative cleaning solution facilitates cleaning of piping on-line with no down-time. New developments allow for higher pipe internal temperatures and elevated pressures. PIO (Pipe in Operation)-Aqua Milling® has routinely been utilized by Aqua Drill for years to avoid costly shut-downs of piping or entire production. The system also eliminates exposure to pipe internal gases, hazardous conditions or spillage by providing closed system containment during cleaning!  Piping system remains in full service during PIO-Aqua Milling® cleaning operation.

The system also eliminates exposure to pipe internal gases, hazardous conditions or spillage by providing closed system containment during cleaning. Using hot-taps or small lateral entries, the cleaning equipment enters piping through a sealed gland system with the cleaning head traveling upstream or downstream from the entry point. Various devices and procedures are used to transport and retrieve the scale particles keeping interference with the pipe internal product flow low.
