BRINGING NEWTECHNOLOGIESTO BRAZIL

B&W Energy’s portfolio in the world market of Pre-Engineering and Pre-Commissioning cleaning has taken root. With many of the top EPC contractors gaining a special trust in our developed relationships, we continue to move into the world market simply by following our partners globally and providing the support they have grown to appreciate anywhere in the world.

BRAZIL, A NEW FRONTIEROur ability to track the power and petrochemical market and capture its potential has led us to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Our relationship in this region has taken hold almost immediately. Brazil’s rapid petrochemical growth offers exciting opportunities for B&W Energy Services to share our new technologies. Developing new partnerships in this region is mostly due to word of mouth from already developed relationships. The same people who have shared past projects success by partnering with B&W Energy Services move onto other locations which is one of the many reasons we are in Brazil right now.

We have already established successful projects in the region early on. The Petrobras owned UTE Sepe Tiaraju Project in Canoas Brazil is a one-over-one HRSG Power Project. Our initial contact request from our Client was to perform exhaustive type steam blows for an expected duration of 30 days. These HRSG projects typically consist of gas turbines to produce exhaust heat which is captured and used to create steam to run another steam turbine. Gas turbines are not well suited for exhaustive type steam blows as this would require many starts and stops of the gas turbine which can have a major impact on the turbine’s life span. B&W Energy Services continuous low pressure high velocity type steam blow has been the cleaning method of choice on HRSG power projects all over the world. Our relationship with

Skanska (EPC Contractor) was forged when we designed the continuous steam blow process for this unique project. The projected steam blow window for completion went from 30 days down to 7 days. When you can design and implement such project savings, it is very easy to form long lasting relationships.

HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

AQUALAZING, THE NEW TECHNOLOGYThe TECAB (Terminal Cabiunas) Project in Macae Brazil is a natural gas processing terminal for the offshore pre-salt oil and gas fields explored by Petrobras. The end goal for the project is to increase the gas processing capacity by 5 million cubic meters/day with the addition of 7 new units. The cleaning scope requested was for chemical cleaning the suction piping for 6 large new compressors and our high velocity lube oil flushing process for the compressor’s lube oil systems. The suction piping on these critical rotating machines require a very high level of cleanliness, traditionally accomplished by chemical cleaning. With our previous success on many petrochemical projects, B&W Energy Services was able to introduce a very innovative proven process option for cleaning the suction

piping in lieu of chemical cleaning. Aqualazing is a new technology that is gaining prominence as a viable time saving option replacing chemical cleaning in many situations. The ultrahigh pressure (water) internal piping cleaning process is a calculated controlled method, removing mill scale and construction debris with much less effort and time than setting up a chemical cleaning process, not to mention the elimination of chemical waste disposal issues. The results are amazing. The compressor cleaning scope at TECAB was a major success as a result of B&W’s professionally engineered Aqualazing process which produced no chemical waste, required minimal setup time, and was followed with a corrosion inhibitor for system preservation. Many precious schedule days were saved utilizing this innovative approach

ALL HIGH VELOCITY LUBE OIL FLUSHING SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE NOT THE SAMEThe same TECAB project required lube oil flushing on their new compressors. With the engineering skills and knowledge of B&W Energy Services, a parallel flushing method was designed which allowed us to flush two (2) units at the same time. Again, the priority is to cut project schedule time. In fact, the first two units were cleaned in just less than 24 hours! Our lube oil flushing skids are engineered, designed and built by B&W Energy Services in house utilizing all stainless steel components. We have taken lube oil flushing to the next level with our superior quality and well maintained equipment. This assuredly produces quick verifiable clean results in much less time due to our investment in “keeping it clean” supplied equipment.

BRAZIL, NURTURING NEW RELATIONSHIPSWith the many projects in Brazil’s future it is easy to understand why B&W Energy Services has invested in this economical fast growing country. Our contacts with Petrobras, Skanska Latin America and others are starting to bear fruit. We are bringing new technologies and a wealth of experience to the region creating a foothold in the pre-commissioning industry that will be a benefit to Brazil and its people. Our presence will be a tremendous value to those large complex projects that are coming into Brazil’s future. If you want to be successful with your next project, why not let us help you get there. Teaming up with a proven pre-engineering/pre-commissioning cleaning company such as B&W Energy Services is an added reward to your dedication in producing another successful project. You have dreamed it, you have designed it, you are preparing to build it. The ultimate goal now is to seek those cost cutting time saving ideas that you can enjoy in your success by teaming up with B&W Energy Services. This great value is within your reach. Call us.
