Fully Automated F Neutralization

When your alkylation units require maintenance or shutdownand you don’t have an option for HF storage on-site, GEM Specialized Services can safely and efficiently neutralize your process HF through our state-of-the-art PLC-controlled, fully automated neutralization process. We are the only company that can provide a truly automated process, which improves safety and dramatically reduces liability associated with HFtransport and disposal.

Unit Acidizing & Neutralization

Once all the HF material is removed froman alkylation unit, the unit still requires thorough chemical cleaning before personnel can perform mechanical activity. GEM utilizes an acidizing process to treat residual flouride scale within the unit, then neutralizes all the remaining piping, exchangers, vessels, etc. to ensure the unit is safe for any required work. GEM uses an acid product that provides the safest, lowest-risk chemical cleaning solution.

Waste Minimization

Any acidizing/chemical cleaning of an HF alkylation unit will result in residual wash water. This wash water, or waste, contains potentially high levels of undesired constituents that may negatively impact a client’s wastewater system if not treated. GEM Specialized Services utilizes solids separation technology to remove heavy residual solids left in reduction, GEM also will chemically treat undesired constituents and pH.
