Mechanical Cleaning and Micro Blasting of Tubes

Saudi Hydrodynamics Co. Ltd. (Saudi Hydro) provides specialized mechanical cleaning and micro-blasting services for heat exchangers, condensers, fin-fans, and process tubes across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Our extensive fleet and trained crews deliver safe, reliable, and efficient tube cleaning solutions that restore flow performance, enhance heat-transfer efficiency, and ensure longer equipment life.

Comprehensive Mechanical Tube Cleaning Capability

Saudi Hydro operates up to 16 fully equipped mechanical cleaning crews, capable of handling multiple exchanger and fin-fan cleaning operations simultaneously during shutdowns and turnarounds.

We utilize a complete range of rotary, pneumatic, and flexible-shaft tube cleaning systems supported by brushes, drills, reamers, and specialty tools from reputed international brands.

Each tool is carefully selected based on tube size, material, and deposit type to ensure safe, non-abrasive cleaning.

Key features include:

·             Rotary-driven brushes and scrapers for scale, rust, and hard deposits

·             Shoot-through (Dart Cleaning) systems for long tubes and high-velocity internal flushing

·             Adaptable tooling for straight, U-bend, and fin-fan configurations

·             Quick setup and removal, reducing exchanger downtime

·             Visual inspection and verification after cleaning using calibrated borescopes

Mechanical cleaning is particularly effective for pre-inspection, pre-commissioning, and performance restoration of heat exchangers and condensers in refineries, petrochemical, and power plants.

Micro-Blasting for Tube Internal

For fine internal cleaning or surface preparation, Saudi Hydro employs controlled micro-blasting technology using calibrated low-pressure abrasive systems.

This method removes thin oxide films, micro-corrosion, and light scaling, achieving a smooth metallic finish without altering wall thickness.

It is ideal for stainless-steel exchangers, condensers, and high-purity process equipment where surface quality is critical to heat-transfer performance.

Safety and Quality Assurance

All operations conform to Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and Royal Commission standards, supported by Job Safety Analysis (JSA), tool calibration, and operator certification.

Our QA/QC team verifies cleanliness and surface integrity using borescope imaging and documentation, ensuring each job meets client standards before handover.

Nationwide Service Coverage

Saudi Hydro provides mechanical cleaning and micro-blasting services throughout Saudi Arabia, including Jubail, Dammam, Yanbu, and other industrial regions.

Our mobile units, 16 dedicated crews, and complete tool inventory ensure rapid mobilization and high-volume execution capability for both planned shutdowns and emergency maintenance.
