The HAZMAT can be deployed as an integral part of turnaround & inspection to plan and develop a mercury management strategy for all types of plants.
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) Decontamination
RISAL's NORM decontamination services are specially designed to meet the demanding environment of the Middle East. Providing a fully mobile facility, RISAL are able to set up this specialist service in even most remote location, minimizing the clients need to transport contaminated equipment. Using remotely operated cleaning technologies, the operators are fully protected as the tubulars, downhole and process equipment are decontaminated back to background levels of radiation. All waste is contained within the system and packaged in UN approved containers for subsequent disposal or storage. Waste is minimized by design, using a closed loop recycling system.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
In line with our commitment to introducing the latest technologies, RISAL offer Ultrasonic Cleaning Services. Used in conjunction with specially designed chemistry the ultrasonic cleaning bath offers improved cleaning quality and time. Of particular benefit to complex components such as pumps, valves, packings, demisters, process filters and heat exchangers the ultrasonic cleaning technology is able to penetrate into every area of the component removing debris without damage to the valuable equipment. Components can be delivered to RISALs facility for cleaning or the bath can be mobilized to the client site for shutdowns campaigns or located permanently in the maintenance shops.
Tank Cleaning and Maintenance
In line with our commitment to investment in technology, safety and the environment RISAL have agreed a partnership with Sky Gulf to introduce Automated Tank Cleaning Services. Using the latest proven technology RISAL can now clean the largest crude and fuel oil tanks without the need for confined space entry. Modeling each individual tank a procedure is developed to ensure the most efficient process is employed to clean the tank and return to service with the minimum down time. Oil is drawn from the vessel and circulated through our containerised pumping and heating system and reinjected to the vessel through a special cleaning nozzle arrangement breaking down the sludge. The product is then separated to recover over 90% hydrocarbon from the sludge leaving only non-contaminated solids and water. The recovered hydrocarbon is returned to the as useable product ensuring the cleaning exercise is not only efficient but also cost effective. Reducing downtime, improving safety and environmental practice in a cost effective manner, RISAL offer the complete solution in tank cleaning services.
