Research and Development

ShemenSal benefits from an ongoing collaboration with the scientists in the Department of Renewable Energy.

By collaborating with their chemical laboratories, we make sure Liquid Blast ATFM® is used efficiently in each and every application.

We analyze the various types of incursions as well as integrity of metals related to the equipment prior to application.

Safety

ShemenSal mission places safety in number one priority!

Our safety engineers collaborate with our clients safety team to create the safest procedure prior to application.

In over a decade of applications and hundreds of plants using Liquid Blast ATFM® there have been ZERO accidents.

Certifications

ShemenSal keeps to the strictest quality, environmental, health and safety regulations. Liquid Blast ATFM® is fully certified.

Benefit Examples

Chemical descaling using Liquid Blast ATFM® for the exchangers of the U-501 DS Diesel plant

The plant operated at a reduced capacity of load processing, being 15 thousand barrels of diesel per day (TBD) as opposed to 25 TBD as per the design capacity.

The reduction in descaling of the incursion time was 25% compared with traditional processes.

100% efficiency was restored after chemical descaling with Liquid Blast ATFM®.

Benefit Examples

Chemical descaling of the ME-E-243 surface condenser of the Gas Compressor ME-C-203

Technical analysis concluded that the condenser ME-E-243 had a loss of vacuum due to an accumulation of scaling decreasing efficiency.

The incursion reduced ef ciency levels to 67.5% compared with the design capacity.

A 75% reduction in descaling time process was achieved, compared to traditional descaling: from 4 days to 1 day.

100% efficiency was restored after chemical descaling with Liquid Blast ATFM®.

Benefit Examples

Chemical descaling of the ME-E-133 surface condenser of the main blower ME- C-101 of a FCC1 Catalytic Plant

The FCC-1 catalytic plant restarted operations following a partial repair as there were problems with the vacuum of the main blower C-101.

The incursion reduced efficiency to 67% compared with the design capacity.

Following chemical descaling with liquid BLAST ATFM® the plant returned to 100% efficiency.

The descaling time was reduced from 8 days (mechanical descaling) to 1 day (chemical descaling).

Benefit Examples

Chemical descaling of a Regenerating 102-CO Tower

The tower while operating presenting a low processing capacity of 72% as well as a high differential pressure.

Descaling was performed utilizing 9,000 liters of Liquid Blast ATFM® product.

Following the descaling process the residues removed from the tower corresponded to 2,250 kg.

Descaling time was reduced from 12 days (traditional descaling) down to 5 days applying (Liquid Blast ATFM® descaling procedure).
