OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW & METHODOLOGY

Marine & Industrial Comprehensive Deep Decontamination

Drydock hydro-blasting, chemical reactor clearing, heat exchanger lancing, and pipeline pigging.

Severe-duty industrial plants, naval shipyards, and coastal maritime terminals require high-capacity mobile hydro-demolition to maintain production uptime and asset integrity.

Chow Marine integrates high-tonnage mobile UHP hydro-jetting equipment with heavy vacuum recovery fleets to tackle the most demanding industrial decontamination projects across Canada and the Great Lakes basin.

Our systems remove vulcanized rubbers, baked-on metallurgical slag, chemical polymer resins, and petro-chemical residues from industrial piping, process reactors, heat exchanger tube bundles, and heavy ship compartments.

We combine automated rotary pipe-lancing tractors with high-vacuum liquid-ring vacuum trucks, ensuring all dislodged solids and wash water are evacuated and contained without environmental release.

CLIENT / SECTOR: Major Ontario Chemical Processing Complex

Hydro-lancing and decontamination of 18 shell-and-tube heat exchangers (over 6,000 total tubes) choked with polymerized resin deposits.

OPERATIONAL OUTCOME: Cleaned 100% of tubes to original thermal conductivity specifications within a tight 4-day outage window, avoiding $280,000 in replacement bundle costs.
TECHNICAL FAQ FREQUENT INQUIRIES
01

How does automated tube lancing differ from manual pressure washing?

add

Automated tube lancing feeds rigid, rotating multi-lances simultaneously through multiple heat exchanger tubes at constant feed rates and pressures up to 40,000 PSI, cleaning deeper and 400% faster while keeping operators safely outside the blast zone.

02

Can your equipment handle hardened polymers and heavy coke deposits?

add

Yes. By utilizing specialized carbide-tipped rotating nozzles, our 40,000 PSI water jets shatter crystalline polymers and heavy carbon cokes through hydraulic shockwaves rather than abrasive wear.

03

What is your response time for emergency industrial shutdowns?

add

Our Hamilton headquarters maintains dedicated emergency response mobile units with 24/7 crews on standby capable of dispatching within 60 minutes across Southern Ontario.
