Process Plant Pre-Commissioning & Commissioning Services
Fairtex provides integrated process plant pre-commissioning and commissioning services designed to prepare complex industrial systems for safe, efficient, and reliable startup. Our services are delivered across oil & gas facilities, refineries, petrochemical plants, gas processing terminals, and power generation assets.
The objective is to reduce commissioning schedule risk, minimize site downtime, improve system cleanliness, and ensure operational integrity prior to product introduction. Fairtex applies engineered cleaning, testing, and validation procedures aligned with industry requirements for high-criticality process systems.
Typical applications: refineries, LNG terminals, FPSOs, gas plants, petrochemical facilities, compressor stations, and power plants
What this service covers
High-Speed Flushing & Oil Flushing
High-velocity fluid flushing of process and lube oil systems to remove debris, weld slag, and contaminants prior to startup.
Air, Steam Blowing & Retrojetting
Cleaning of pipelines and process lines using controlled air or steam blowing and retrojetting/hydro blasting techniques to achieve required cleanliness levels.
Hydrostatic & Leak Testing
Pressure testing of pipelines and process equipment to confirm mechanical integrity and detect potential leaks before commissioning.
Chemical Cleaning & Surface Conditioning
Application of engineered chemical solutions to remove scale, corrosion products, and hydrocarbon residues from process systems.
Nitrogen Services & Drying
Oxygen reduction purging, nitrogen drying, and inerting to ensure safe startup conditions and eliminate moisture-related risks.
Controlled Bolting & Valve Testing
Precision bolting services and ultrasonic valve testing to ensure mechanical reliability and sealing integrity of critical joints and valves.
Gross Air Leak Testing (GALT) & Helium Leak Detection
Advanced leak detection services including nitrogen-helium testing to verify system tightness and integrity.
Pipeline Cleaning & Flow Assurance Services
Fairtex provides advanced pipeline cleaning and flow assurance solutions to maintain operational efficiency and prevent blockages, corrosion, and production interruptions.
Pigging & Mechanical Cleaning
Routine, progressive, and mechanical pigging operations for cleaning, inspection preparation, and debris removal in pipeline systems.
Hot Oiling & Gel Pigging
Use of hot oil flushing and gel-based pigging systems for removal of wax, scale, and heavy deposits in crude and gas pipelines.
Scale, Wax & Hydrate Removal
Targeted removal of deposits that restrict flow and reduce pipeline efficiency, ensuring stable production performance.
Pipeline Decommissioning Cleaning
Cleaning and preparation of pipelines for safe shutdown, abandonment, or repurposing activities.
Advanced Chemical Cleaning
Use of surfactants, dispersants, and emulsifiers to penetrate contamination, lift deposits, and transport solids from pipeline walls.
