Global Expertise in Action: Cokebusters’ Teams Busy Serving Oil Refineries Worldwide This Month

This month, Cokebusters’ teams are operating at full throttle, delivering critical mechanical cleaning and inspection services to oil refineries across the globe. From our Technology Centre in Chester, UK, to our Houston, TX base in the United States, our highly skilled operators are mobilising worldwide to support clients in maintaining peak operational efficiency.

One of the unique advantages Cokebusters offers is the ability to combine mechanical cleaning and in-line inspection into a single, seamless service. By integrating these essential tasks into a “combined service”, we minimise downtime and eliminate the need for multiple contractors, saving our clients valuable time and resources. With our advanced tools and experienced operators, we ensure that equipment is not only cleaned to perfection but also inspected for potential issues – delivering maximum reliability, efficiency and safety in one efficient process.

The demand for precision cleaning and inspection has never been higher, with energy producers relying on our expertise to ensure their equipment runs smoothly and safely. Whether tackling stubborn fouling in fired heaters or conducting rigorous tube inspections to prevent costly failures, Cokebusters is proud to be the trusted partner of choice for refineries spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East and beyond.

With 12 machines currently in operation on site, our reach extends from Los Angeles, CA in the United States of America to the State of Kuwait.  During this busy time of year, our machines and operations teams are often rolling from one job directly to another to ensure we’re able to serve as many valued energy industry clients as possible.  For example one of our specialist Double Pumping Units, CB6, left our Technology Centre in Chester late last year.  The team successfully completed a job in Egypt and from there the machine travelled back across the Mediterranean to serve its next client in Italy.

In the United States we have specialist machines and expert teams operating at multiple sites this month across the top three refining states of Texas, Louisiana and California.  Not only are they delivering world-class decoking and tube inspection, they are also carrying out water filtration services.  This is a relatively new service for Cokebusters, but one which is attracting increasing interest as water conservation moves up the agenda.  Cokebusters USA is growing exponentially and looks forward to working with new clients as 2025 progresses.

At Cokebusters, we know that keeping refineries running at full capacity is essential – not just for our clients but for the industries and communities they serve. That’s why we combine our cutting-edge technology and unmatched experience to deliver bespoke solutions tailored to every project. This month’s workload is a testament to our position as leaders in the field and to the trust our clients place in our commitment to excellence.

Operating from our bases in Chester UK and Houston TX, and with specialist Double Pumping Units strategically positioned at key locations around the world, our teams regularly face unique challenges posed by different climates, regulations and refinery conditions. Whether it’s tackling severe fouling in the humid Arabian Gulf Coast heat or overcoming maintenance complexities in cooler European climates, our operators bring valuable insights from their diverse experiences. The team operating in your refinery will have mixed experience gained from site operations worldwide.  This wealth of knowledge allows us to continually refine our methods, ensuring we deliver the best solutions for every client, no matter where they are in the world.
