The Pros Who Clean Oil Rigs Know.

Oil rig cleaning is a vital element to running a tight ship in the energy sector. A messy workspace in most jobs might just be a hassle, but on a rig it’s an accident waiting to happen. It can eventually lead to a problem, which of course will threaten to slow down production, sooner or later. 

An entirely new industry was birthed when the oil rig was first developed, specialty firms who would be contracted out to clean the floating units. Skilled professionals would transport to the rigs on a regular schedule, with the tools and know-how needed to return it to showroom condition. 

Many of these companies specifically angled to offer greener solutions, such as only using environmentally friendly cleaners. As energy companies and oil harvesters have attempted to find more environmentally conscious protocols in each department, these greener companies offered good news. 

By trusting solvent alternative products that are free of harsh chemicals and side effects, oil rig owners could provide a better working atmosphere for their employees while eliminating a significant amount of chemical byproduct each year. 

Professional oil rig cleaners face many challenges in their line of work, as it differs significantly from most cleaning jobs, even the industrial ones. Simply the nature of operating offshore in a highly industrial setting that can quickly turn deadly: it requires a little something extra from all those who do it. 

IPAX is the brand these professionals turn to when looking to get the job done right. Our water dilutable and effective degreasers bring an eco-friendly boost to industries of all kind, but on oil rigs especially they prove ideal. 

From navigating the engine room to maintaining the mud pump to handling boiler scale removal, IPAX helps bring habitually messy work areas back to life, and at a significant savings. IPAX’s breakthrough dilution rates helps industries such as oil rigs reduce their overall inventory costs. 

It also means such businesses no longer have to rely on using toxic solvents so regularly. On an oil rig, which is already a potentially volatile surrounding, eliminating such flammable products is potentially lifesaving. 

Industry is getting cleaner each and every year, with more companies and executives making real strides at cleaning things up thoughtfully. It’s better for the health of the company itself in the long run, and more importantly it means cleaner workplaces and overall environments for all. 

Both in the U.S. and internationally, the desire to clean more responsibly has launched new innovations. Often those discoveries will lead to more cost-effective ways of doing business. Such is the case with IPAX’s revolutionary formulations. 

By extending the dilution rates over standard cleaners significantly, even up to 10-fold for certain applications, it represents a sizable return on investment. By doing it in a cleaner and more forward-thinking manner, it returns even more.
