Your oil sands operations hinge on everything running smoothly. But equipment requires maintenance, and you don’t have time to waste on solutions that require days of downtime or only fix issues in the short term. As your chemical partner, we do more than send you cleaners and degreasers. We send experts into the field to look at your unique challenges and design programs that bring more efficiency throughout your operations.
Solutions
Cleaning & Degreasing
The equipment and vehicles needed for oil sands operations get put through a lot. To keep them working safely and efficiently, they need to be cleaned and repaired regularly. We specialize in reducing the overall costs of maintenance and turnarounds for all your equipment and machinery by developing new chemical formulations and more effective field cleaning procedures.
Oil & Gas Production Enhancement
Scavengers & Degassing
H2S and LEL control is critical to your operations both onsite and as part of transportation. Whatever inspection schedule you're on, we can ensure that your tanks are cleaned of fumes quickly, effectively, and safely with our scavenging solutions.
Sanitizing & Disinfecting
It's more important than ever to ensure you're taking steps to protect the health and well-being of your workers. Viruses, bacteria, and fungi can stay on surfaces from hours to days, which is why we have developed a wide variety of hard surface cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants to ensure the cleanliness of contaminated surfaces.
Metal Preparation
In preparing metal components for return to the field, efficacy and safety are of top concern. Parts washers and hot tanks require customized solutions to meet your needs. Our chemical solutions include innovative blends of high-performance surfactants, alkalinity boosters, water conditioning agents, and corrosion inhibitors. We craft solutions to meet your unique challenges and can also assist with application and disposal.
