Minimac Systems is a global leader in integrated flushing skids and oil purification systems. These systems are important for proper functioning of a pipeline system. While functioning, various impurities get deposited on the inner surface of the pipelines, which can cause premature and sudden breakdown of the pipeline systems. To prevent this Minimac has developed the indigenous flushing system whose capacities range from 500 – 20,000 litres per minute to offer varied services for a wide range of applications.

The FS-500 is a one-stop, commercially viable solution for chemical and oil flushing of up to 5 inch diameter pipelines. The system comprises – a captive reservoir tank to hold the flushing fluid along with an inbuilt heater to heat the fluid to a proper temperature before flushing. A flushing pump controlling the rate of water flow from 250-500 litres per minute is also present. 

Reynold’s number is an indicator of the turbulence generated in a fluid. The Reynold’s number of the FS-500 is as high as 4000 indicating a high turbulent flow. This high turbulence removes all contamination from the internal walls of the pipeline system. This ensures efficient descaling and debris removal from pipelines.

Harshita Shahi, Business Executive handling Steel & Cement Industry at Minimac Systems commented that the Oil Flushing/ Chemical Cleaning Skid developed by Minimac is deployed at Rabab Harweel Integrated Project (RHIP) in Oman by Consolidated Contractors International Company. “This Made in India equipment is built with high-quality materials and parts which provides reliability and efficiency at all stages. Chosen by many around the world, Minimac is the Perfect pre-commissioning Partner”, adds Ms. Shahi.

Minimac’s FS Systems also consist of filtration vessels of varying diameter ranging from 10 microns to 3 microns, to trap the reside inside the pipelines. These indigenously developed high-quality systems are perfect for pre-commissioning and scheduled maintenance for pipeline systems all over the world.
