Maintaining your heat exchangers in optimal condition is needed for efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in your operations. With decades of experience and cutting-edge technology, Altex Industries delivers specialty services and solutions to keep your equipment performing at its best.
Freeze Plug Services for Safe Maintenance
When maintenance is required, our freeze plug technology ensures safe, temporary isolation of specific sections of your heat exchanger without disrupting your operations. Freeze plugs are an innovative solution that eliminates the need for complete system shutdowns, allowing for efficient and precise repairs or replacements. Industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and manufacturing trust Altex for effective freeze plug services that save time and minimize risks.
In-Line Leak Sealing (Engineered Containment Device)
Unexpected leaks can cause costly downtime and safety concerns, but Altex Industries has the solution. Our on-line leak-sealing services allow you to address leaks without halting operations. This service is ideal for industries requiring continuous processes, such as petrochemical refineries, power plants, and chemical facilities. Altex’s rapid-response team uses tailored techniques to seal leaks efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum operational reliability.
Engineered Containment Device
At Altex Industries, we specialize in delivering customized solutions to manage complex leak-sealing challenges. Our engineered containment devices are designed to isolate leaks effectively in a wide range of piping systems, bonnets, flanges, and valve-packing applications. These devices create a durable mechanical enclosure, ensuring a secure seal even in extreme conditions. Built to handle temperatures from cryogenic levels to 1800°F, our containment solutions comply with provincial pressure equipment safety regulations, offering reliability for both emergency and planned maintenance. Whether isolating a leak or securing a compromised system, our tailored solutions prioritize safety and operational efficiency.
Ice Plugs
Our nitrogen-based freeze plug technology provides a safe and efficient method for isolating sections of piping systems. This method works with static or no-flow processes, offering a dependable way to manage leaks or facilitate maintenance when a system cannot be shut down. Ice plugs create a temporary but robust seal, allowing work to proceed without compromising the integrity of the entire system. The precision and safety of this method make it ideal for critical situations that demand immediate and effective isolation.
Crimping
Altex’s crimping services offer a straightforward yet highly effective way to control leaks and isolate pipelines. Using hydraulic crimping equipment, we can pinch pipes and install stop rings to prevent shear damage. This method ensures 100% isolation, with material injection available to reinforce the seal if needed. Once the leak is managed, our equipment is safely removed, restoring your system without unnecessary downtime. Crimping is a dependable solution for emergencies or planned maintenance, ensuring safety and efficiency at every step.
Grit Blasting for Heat Exchanger Cleaning
Clean surfaces are critical for efficient heat transfer, and Altex Industries provides grit blasting services to ensure your heat exchangers are free from contaminants. Grit blasting is a highly effective method for cleaning both internal and external surfaces, improving thermal efficiency and extending the lifespan of your equipment all while ensuring tube integrity. Using state-of-the-art equipment, our team delivers eco-friendly, precision cleaning solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
Torquing, Tensioning, and Portable Machining for Repairs
Precision matters in heat exchanger maintenance, and Altex Industries excels in delivering on-site torquing, tensioning, and portable machining services. Our expertise ensures critical connections are tightened to exact specifications, reducing the risk of leaks and failures. Additionally, our portable machining capabilities allow us to perform repairs and modifications directly at your facility, saving time and restoring equipment performance with minimal downtime.
