Put simply, Pipefreezing is a non-intrusive, controlled method of providing pipeline isolation, through the application of liquid nitrogen. The pipework freezing process begins by drawing out the heat from the product within the pipe until it reaches a temperature below its freeze point until eventually the product freezes to form an internal ice plug.
The major advantage of liquid nitrogen or water pipe freezing is that a ‘break-in’ can be performed without incurring the costs and down-time of a complete system drain down.
Healthcare
The health care industry is highly sophisticated, incorporating a range of facilities other than hospitals. All of these are crucial to the delivery of health care and provides a service that is 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The vast number of buildings that the NHS alone has to look after is staggering. The majority of these are well over 30 years old so now require regular maintenance and replacement of system components such as valves, pump sets, etc. All whilst maintaining service.

Semiconductor
The manufacture of semiconductors relies upon very strict environmental parameters in order prevent damage to the components during the manufacturing process. The systems that run the manufacturing plants, to maintain the environment and supply the heating plants are on the go constantly. Regular maintenance is not an option as most plants don’t have regular shutdowns. APS services have been employed over the years to maintain these critical services to the plant, whilst key areas are taken out of service for crucial maintenance tasks. APS works closely with its clients to provide a safe and secure solution that will provide the necessary isolation with minimal risk. All the while the client can continue manufacturing.
Marine
Ocean going vessels are rarely in dock. The majority of maintenance and repair tasks to the internal infrastructure are carried out whilst the vessel is at sea. They constantly require maintenance and servicing of key components. They face the same challenges to their systems as any other large building with the added complexity of being on water. When vessels are in dock they are restricted to only a few hours before they have to leave for their next destination.
APS have experience of providing its services in order to achieve the desired outcome within the constraints of the vessels sailing schedule.
