Swagelok Steam Lances
Application Spotlight: Steam Lances
As the temperature drops outside, so does the efficiency of process piping and equipment. It's not unusual for winters in this part of the country to last for the better part of seven months, making it difficult to keep process equipment and lines in good working order. Making plans to winterize your facilities and processes before the temperatures drop means the difference between mitigating risks and work stoppage later on.
One great tool that can help you is the Swagelok steam lance, which allows you to safely heat and clean process equipment, removing ice buildup on equipment and allowing fluid to flow during severe cold weather episodes. This simple solution is efficient and effective, and it also meets safety requirements. Simply hook the steam lance up to a steam line and it keeps your media moving when ice builds up or when viscous fluids solidify.
Quickly deice mission critical equipment, process, or instrument lines—you can even clear walkways, pumps, instrument trays, and overhead ice! The steam lance’s design is comprised of insulated tubing, heat-shrink boots, and a rugged ball valve rated for steam, making it ideal for outdoor weather conditions and personnel protection. The handle option decreases the possibility of operator burn risk. In addition, we can also develop custom designs for a lance that fits your specific needs.
