Tube Cleaning Services UAE | Hydro Jetting 40,000 PSI | AIMMS

AIMMS Group provides professional tube cleaning services designed to restore optimal performance, extend equipment life, and ensure compliance with operational and safety standards across offshore platforms, power plants, refineries, desalination/RO plants, and water treatment facilities.

Efficient heat transfer and uninterrupted fluid flow are critical for the performance and safety of marine, offshore, and industrial systems. Over time, tubes inside heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, and coolers accumulate fouling, scale, sludge, marine growth, and corrosion deposits—leading to reduced efficiency, increased fuel consumption, and potential system failure.

What Is Tube Cleaning Using Hydro Jetting / Lancing?

Tube cleaning is a specialized maintenance process that removes internal deposits from tubes used in:

• Heat exchangers (shell & tube, plate)

• Condensers (steam, surface, evaporative)

• Shell & tube coolers (oil, water, air)

• Boilers and steam generators

• Chillers and refrigeration systems

• Cargo oil heaters and coolers

• Desalination and RO plant equipment

• Pressure vessels and thermal systems

Regular Tube Cleaning Ensures:

✅ Maximum heat transfer efficiency – Restore design performance levels
✅ Reduced pressure drop – Lower pumping energy requirements
✅ Lower energy and fuel consumption – Significant cost savings
✅ Prevention of corrosion under deposits (CUD) – Protect tube integrity
✅ Extended equipment lifespan – Delay costly replacements
✅ Reduced need for retubing – Avoid expensive tube bundle replacement
✅ Compliance with manufacturer specifications – Meet OEM requirements
✅ Improved system reliability – Prevent unexpected failures

Why Tube Cleaning Service Is Critical for Marine & Offshore Assets

In marine and offshore environments, tube systems are constantly exposed to harsh conditions:

Common Fouling Challenges:

• Seawater fouling and marine growth (barnacles, mussels, algae)

• Salt deposits and scaling (calcium carbonate, magnesium)

• Oil sludge and chemical residues from fuel and lubricants

• Sediment and rust accumulation in cooling water circuits

• Biological fouling in seawater-cooled systems

• Hard scale formation in high-temperature applications

If Left Untreated, These Issues Result In:

• Overheating of main engines and auxiliary systems

• Reduced cooling efficiency causing equipment stress

• Increased fuel consumption and operational costs

• Unplanned downtime and breakdowns during critical operations

• Costly emergency repairs or complete tube replacement

• Survey failures and regulatory non-compliance

• Reduced vessel availability and revenue loss

Proactive tube cleaning prevents these failures and significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs.

• Reduced flow rates in cooling circuits

• Increased energy consumption for same output

• Abnormal vibration or noise from equipment

• Frequent high-temperature alarms

Recommended Cleaning Schedule:

✓ During dry dockings, shutdowns, or planned maintenance
✓ Before class surveys and inspections
✓ Before performance testing or acceptance trials
✓ As part of periodic preventive maintenance programs (typically every 6-24 months)
✓ After operating in heavily polluted waters
✓ Following system contamination events
✓ When commissioning new equipment

Early intervention prevents catastrophic failures and keeps maintenance costs predictable.
