What Core Services Does PFS Provide?

At the heart of our operations are the core services that define PFS. What are these essential services, and how do they support your pipeline maintenance needs?

One of our primary services is nitrogen pumping, transportation, and storage. Nitrogen is crucial for various pipeline operations, including inerting, purging, and pneumatic testing. Our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced personnel ensure that these processes are carried out efficiently and safely.

Pipe freezing is another critical service we offer. This method is highly effective for leak detection and isolation, enabling repairs and maintenance without the need to shut down the entire system or dewater and refill the pipeline being tested. Our expertise in pipe freezing ensures minimal disruption to your operations while maintaining the highest safety standards.

How Does Our Pipeline Cleaning Solutions' Philosophy Drive Our Success?

At PFS, our philosophy is grounded in providing efficient and cost-effective solutions. But what principles underpin this philosophy, and how do they translate into tangible benefits for our clients?

Our approach is built on three pillars: unique chemical performance, proprietary engineering design, and unsurpassed service and logistics. These elements work together to create a robust and reliable system for pipeline maintenance.

Our unique chemical performance is a cornerstone of our service. We use specially formulated chemicals designed to penetrate, lift, and carry out deposits from pipelines. Whether you are performing online or offline cleaning, our chemicals ensure thorough and efficient cleaning, reducing the number of runs needed and increasing overall efficiency.

The proprietary engineering design is another critical aspect of our philosophy. Our PIPECLEAN Design Module Workbook is unique to PCS and allows us to provide tailored solutions based on specific pipeline characteristics. This level of customization ensures that our cleaning processes are both effective and efficient.

Finally, our commitment to unsurpassed service and logistics means that we are always prepared to meet your needs. We maintain a robust inventory, ensuring that we can provide essential chemicals and equipment when and where you need them. Our 24/7/365 availability means that you can count on us for support at any time.

Why Are Our Nitrogen Services and Pig Tracking Solutions Superior?

Nitrogen services and pig tracking are critical components of pipeline maintenance. But what makes our solutions stand out?

Our nitrogen services are comprehensive, covering everything from project planning to execution. We provide highly trained personnel, top-notch equipment, and a range of products to meet all your nitrogen needs. Whether you require offline mechanical cleaning, decommissioning, de-inventory, smart pigging, gauge plate runs, inerting, purging pneumatic testing, or abandonment, we have the expertise and resources to deliver.

Pig tracking is another area where we excel. With nearly three decades of experience, we have the knowledge and technology to ensure precise and reliable tracking. Our electronic tracking systems detect various transmitter frequencies or magnets, offering visual, text, and email indications of pig passage. Our acoustical tracking options are designed for easy setup and can be used in buried pipelines. We also offer a real-time pig tracking and project management platform, PigTracks, which allows your team to monitor pig movements from anywhere.

Our pig tracking equipment includes electronic tracking models, acoustical tracking options, and transmitters designed to emit industry-standard frequencies. These tools provide comprehensive solutions for all your pig tracking needs.
