Streamlined Leak Detection and Repair

Imagine reducing the time it takes to pinpoint a leak during pressure testing your piping system. Picture the convenience of conducting repairs without draining the system, only to refill it post-repair. With PFS, these scenarios become reality.

Our groundbreaking technology eliminates labor-intensive processes, saving significant time and effort by bypassing extensive hydrostatic test leak searches. Regardless of the pipe's size or length, our method dramatically reduces outage time associated with leak search and repair.

Efficient Repairs Without System Drainage

PFS Nitrogen Services, a division of N2 Solutions Company, empowers repairs without the need to remove the medium from the entire line segment. This means essential repairs can be executed without disrupting fluid flow.

Our services extend far beyond traditional applications, facilitating pipe freezing in diverse settings like hospitals, buildings, marine vessels, chemical plants, and refineries. Whether your system contains freezable or static fluids, our versatile approach ensures seamless repairs.

Prioritizing Pipe Safety and Integrity

Safety and integrity are non-negotiables in pipe maintenance. Independent laboratory studies have rigorously analyzed the structural composition of pipes post-freezing, affirming that our process induces no physical or chemical alterations. Rest assured, our services uphold pipe integrity while effectively addressing leaks and facilitating repairs.

FAQ

How Do We Confirm a Successful Pipe Freeze?

We employ thermocouples and monitor the frost ring generated by our freeze jackets. Multiple checks and balances are in place to verify that the freeze is stable and effective.

Is Pipe Freezing Risky for the Pipe Itself?

No, our trained technicians ensure that proper spacing and pressure venting measures are in place to prevent cracking due to ice expansion.

Maximum Pipe Size for Freezing?

We can accommodate pipes up to 26 inches in diameter with our current freeze jacket inventory.

What is the Duration of a Freeze Plug?

As long as you need. Specify your required duration during the scheduling process.

Safety of Pipe Freezing?

Safety is a priority. We assess various factors like temperature, flow, and location before initiating any freeze to guarantee secure operation.

Geographical Coverage?

We primarily service the West Gulf, East Gulf, Southeast, and Northeast United States, although we have extended as far as California.

Temperature Range for the Freeze?

We utilize liquid nitrogen at around -320°F, but freeze temperatures are adjusted between -100 to -275°F depending on the product.

Does the Pipe Get Weaker?

On the contrary, controlled exposure to cryogenic temperatures essentially "heat treats" the pipe, making it stronger.

Prerequisites for a Successful Pipe Freeze?

Several conditions must be met, such as the liquid in the pipe being freezable and static.

When to Consider Pipe Freezing?

Our technology is versatile enough to be used for various repair or upgrade scenarios without requiring system shutdowns.

Impact of Wall Thickness?

Wall thickness doesn't impact the freeze. Our technology has shown no discernible damage to pipes of varying thicknesses.
