Petrochemical Technical Services Ltd

Petrotech Services

Petrochemical Technical Services, design, build and operate a wide range of specialist sludge removal and treatment equipment for the Petrochemical industry for either sale or contract basis around the world.

Petrotech Services focus primarily on tank bottom sludge’s and difficult wastes arising from lagoons and sludge holding pits.

To complement our Petrochemical division we also have an Industrial Services Sector and a Waste Disposal Division which gives allows us to give a complete service to industry.

Petrotech Services provide a complete and total sludge management service to both oil refineries and power stations in both the UK, Europe and Worldwide.

Our services include site surveys that are designed to help quantify the problem.
Unique sludge removal equipment to optimize minimum manpower and eliminate where possible.
Specialised 2 + 3 phase centrifuges to enable maximum oil recovery and minimise waste for off-site disposal.
Engineering Solutions:

Dedicated to solving existing problems within the sector and through research and development focusing on developing ideas for the future, alongside working to the individual clients requirements and budget.

Equipment Sales:

Equipment sales are carried out and tailor made to the clients requirements, which is dependent on the size of the problem and the timescale for completion. Petrotech Services will help and assist in every way to ensure the client has the best solution, from site evaluation, design, build, commision to operate.

We also offer a service package to maintain the equipment, and operate if required.

Innovative Tank Cleaning Solutions:

Petrotech Services are a company which strives to be the market leader in the way forward in tank cleaning technology, and are constantly updating and improving our equipment with the aim of reducing and where possible eliminating man entry into confined space.

We have two main options at our disposal to reduce man entry:

1st option

We can offer a system where man entry is reduced by the use of a Hydraulic driven dozer, this is where instead of the conventional method of putting men in tanks and removing the sludge manually, a dozer is taken into the tank in kit form and assembled inside, which is then manoeuvred around the tank to mix and homogenise the sludge allowing easy removal by specifically designed and safe positive displacement sludge pump to designated treatment point or tank.

Benefits
Reducing man entry considerably
Option to operate equipment remotely and eliminate man entry until jetting stage
Time turnaround on tank substantially shortened
Risk factor of operating inside confined space reduced
High Pressure Water Jetting:

High pressure water jetting is a discipline that we carry out in the following fields:

Crude oil and fuel oil tanks
Tube bundles
Heat exchangers
Silos and Vessels
Concrete cutting

Hydro Abrasive Cold Cutting:

Our unique and proven cold cutting systems are used widely in the petroleum industry where the potential for working in a dangerous area is live and where safety is paramount. Cold cutting is regularly carried out in dangerous environments where no heat or spark is to be generated.

Examples:

Cold cutting of entrance holes into tanks and vessels
Petrol tanks both in and on the ground
Flare line cutting
Crude oil tank floor removal (where the possibility of leakage or gases could be present).
De-commisioning of plant and sites.
