Hydro-Milling Group systems use the latest technology in high-pressure water to alleviate the problems faced by companies who utilize process pipeline in industrial applications. Our customers’ needs vary from removing mill scale and debris in power generation plants to clearing blockages in refineries, petro-chemical plants, paper mills and aluminum manufacturing plants.
Our Hydro Milling Process
The hydro milling process utilizes water that is pumped at high pressure through a self-positioning self-propelled high pressure nozzle; this nozzle moves along pipe wall in a mechanically and repeatable motion providing cleaning with working pressures between 5000 to 21,500 psi (~35,500 kPa to ~148,237 kPa). The attached hose is then fed through a rotational hose feeder to provide precise rotary motion along the inner surface of the pipe. The rotating hose is fed through a stainless steel safety hose removing the chance of hose from backing out of the piping structure. Once in the pipe, the operator-controlled rotating hose allows the nozzle to easily negotiate multiple 90° elbows and pipe offset to distances of 350 feet (~106m) vertically or 1,250 feet (381m) horizontally from the point of entry with precise tracking capabilities to providing full surface area cleaning throughout the entire pipe. All debris and mill scale removed from the pipe surface is transported out of the pipe when the high-pressure nozzle is retracted. This is accomplished via the pusher/flusher orifices built into the cleaning nozzle, utilizing the typical working pressure with an average flow up to 50 GPM (189 LPM) to be efficiently flush the mill scale and residue from the system. All resulting effluent and debris can then be contained and collected for proper disposal. Our hydro-milling equipment can be properly outfitted to operate in severe conditions from subzero (-31˚F ~ -35˚C) to dessert conditions (135˚F ~ 57˚C) ambient.
