Pipe Freezing
- "Pipe Freezing is used for temporary isolation by creating a solid ice plug inside the pipeline. This is considered the safest, most economical and effective method for allowing general pipework modifications, maintenance and valve change out etc.
- Pipe Freezing can be performed on a variety of pipe materials such as:
- Carbon Steels
- Aluminum Alloys
- Cast Iron
- Stainless Steel
- Epoxy Coated Pipes
- Nickel Alloys
- Copper-based Alloys
- Pipeline fluids that have been crystallized to form an ice plug include Freshwater, Glycol solutions, Seawater, Effluents / Sewage, Produced water, Sludge’s, contaminated water, Crude oil, Fuel oils, Lubrication oils, various chemical products."
