Last May, Sparkling Clear Industries completed a huge pipe and pump replacement and repair job on a chemical plant located along the Texas Gulf Coast. This plant was in their annual May turnaround, and one of the maintenance tasks was to replace sand and anthracite in the plant’s waste water media filters. Once the old media was removed, the technicians at Sparkling Clear discovered severe internal issues with the two 96 inch dia vessels, including:
- The vessel’s internal liner had ruptured and led to extreme corrosion to the carbon steel’s tanks
- Broken strainers and gaskets which needed additional replacement
To add to the severity of the replacement, after discovering some of the bigger problems and underlying elements, the Sparkling Clear Industries staff was informed that while they were at the plant on a Friday, the plant would have to be back up and fully operational the following Monday. This left them less than three days to complete a huge replacement and repair task.
The plant’s customer maintenance leader inquired with Sparkling Clear Industries about a temporary media filter so they could start the plant on time. Sparkling Clear Industries was able to offer same-day delivery on that order, and later that day delivered a trailer mounted duplex media system complete with two 96 inch by 72 inch side shell and back wash manifold media filters as well as temporary hoses. Sparkling Clear loaded the media into the temporary system on Saturday and got the equipment up and running on Sunday. In addition, the Sparkling Clear Industries staff also repaired the chemical plant’s existing media filters, removed the old media, replaced the strainers and gaskets, and leveled the new media into the vessels.
