Chemical Cleaning of Offshore platform Potable Water piping system.
Chemical Cleaning of Offshore platform Potable Water piping system.
(OP)
Recently we have had some failed sample reports,therefore we are about to arrange for 3 Vendors (Subcontractors), to visit & discuss the best approach to chemically clean the potable water piping system on one of our offshore platforms.
We have a number of these platforms which this process will need to be implemented in the future therefore it would be nice to get this right first time.
We need to remove the "BIOFILM" which is building up in the pipe; a mild acid wash has been mentioned although I am told this only masks the bacteria for a period & does not fully remove it also it has been known to slighty reduce the wall thickness.
I would like any information which would help in assessing/reviewing the subcontractors.
