Oomen industrial cleaning services

Oomen Industrial Cleaning Consultancy specializes in advanced non-entry cleaning technologies for industrial facilities, particularly in the upstream oil and gas sector. Their core focus is on optimizing Drain, Purge, Flush, and Vent (DPFV) processes to significantly reduce shutdown times, typically by 1-10 days for upstream facilities.

The company employs innovative chemical cleaning methods that allow for cleaning to begin before vessels are ready for human entry. This approach includes chemical soaking of sludge during purging and the use of tank wash heads, minimizing the need for manual cleaning after vessel opening.

A key aspect of their technology is mercury decontamination, demonstrated in the NAM Groningen cluster project. This non-destructive method uses locally available chemicals to clean mercury-contaminated equipment without human entry, allowing for regular disposal of cleaned scrap metal.

Oomen's expertise extends to cleaning various industrial components, including tanks, vessels, bottle slug catchers, and pipelines. Their approach has shown significant results, such as reducing cleaning time for Gas Glycol Condensate separators from 12 days to 3 days, with further optimization bringing it down to 6 hours by 2025.

The technology not only reduces cleaning time but also minimizes confined space entries, reduces man-hours required for associated tasks like isolation and scaffolding, and allows for cleaning to be performed online, avoiding production deferment.
