PIPELINE CLEANING &
GAUGING
APC offers tailor made cleaning services based on a variety of
cleaning applications with carefully selected components like brushes, cups,
discs, magnetic separators and electronic instrumentation such as transmitters
and pipeline data loggers.

debris, dust, scale, unwanted liquids and wax are major threats for the
efficient and safe operation of pipelines. These substances can create an
environment for aggressive corrosion and can lead also to increased pressure
loss, blocked pipelines or clogged instruments.

with the analysis of the actual condition based on past ILI measurements,
pressure and flow readings, cleaning records and as build drawings or other
available relevant documentation in close cooperation with the pipeline
operator. Subsequently the development and the implementation of the tailored
cleaning program is carried out.
