Ensure optimal operational efficiency and minimise downtime with the innovative Supercritical CO2 Flushing System (SCCO2).

This advanced cleaning technology delivers unparalleled cleanliness for control lines and umbilicals, even over extended distances exceeding 20km. The SCCO2 system offers significant advantages over traditional methods:

  • Superior Cleanliness Levels: Achieve exceptional cleanliness exceeding AS4059 Class 3/ISO 4407 12/9 standards, demonstrably reducing the risk of blockages and subsequent equipment failures.
  • Unmatched Long-Distance Performance: The low viscosity of supercritical CO2 guarantees turbulent flow throughout the entire cleaning process, regardless of line length. This eliminates the limitations inherent in conventional flushing systems.
  • Minimised Downtime: Experience significantly lower pressure drops compared to traditional systems. Our SCCO2 system delivers a pressure drop of less than 3,000 PSI over a ¼” OD 13,000-metre control line, demonstrably reducing cleaning time and associated production delays.
  • Environmentally Friendly Operation: The SCCO2 system utilises CO2, a readily available, non-toxic resource. This eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, resulting in a reduced environmental impact.

The SCCO2 system provides a complete, self-contained solution for your cleaning requirements:

  • High-Pressure Cleaning: Operates at pressures up to 550 bar with a maximum CO2 flow rate of 120 kg/hr, ensuring effective cleaning.
  • Exceptional Filtration: Dual-stage filtration (7 and 2 microns) guarantees exceptional cleanliness.
  • User-Friendly Control System: Provides intuitive control via a PLC with a 24-inch touchscreen interface.
  • Portable and Deployable: Packaged in a convenient 20-foot transportable enclosure for easy deployment on-site.
  • CE Certified: Certified for operation within the European Economic Area.

Invest in the SCCO2 Flushing System for demonstrably improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced environmental responsibility.
