Pipe Freezing
Pipefreezing Services offer a top quality, efficient pipe freeze solution, carried out with a wealth of knowledge and experience and with full regards to health and safety.
Liquid Nitrogen pipe freezing offers a safe and effective method of achieving pipe line isolation a times when there is no isolation alternative, or if draining down between existing isolation points will take too much time or lose too much fluid from the system.
This method avoids not only the the costly delays of draining down your system, but also the time and hassle of refilling and venting, as well as the expense of replacing precious additives, salts and chemicals that may be lost in doing so.
How Pipe
Freezing works
The pipe to be freeze isolated is fitted with an aluminium foil or steel ‘jacket’, the pipe is then bathed in the Liquid Nitrogen long enough to freeze the internal fluid of the pipe, forming an ice plug to withhold the system pressure and its contents, once the pipe freezing is complete, the pipe can be drained, cut, unbolted or unwound and modifications can take place with full peace of mind.
