Mercury containment during confined space laser ablation of internal welds such as those around baffles, circumferential and longitudinal welds including external nozzles, welds, pipework, and chassis to facilitate NDT inspection and maintenance exercises. Same day turnaround time vs conventional cleaning methods that take days due to mercury vapour has saved our clients a lot of time and protects workers in the immediate vicinity.
Tankers are particularly susceptible to corrosion due to their constant exposure to saltwater and harsh environmental conditions. Laser ablation can be used to remove the corrosion and extend the lifespan of the tankers. The process can also be used to remove coatings and paints from the tankers before they are repainted, which can improve the adhesion of the new coatings and prolong their lifespan.
Laser ablation is a valuable tool in the LPG industry. Tanks and tankers are ideal candidates for cleaning and maintenance.
