Hydro Milling 2025
Hydro Milling
Petrotec has partnered with Hydro Milling Group (HMG), a U.S. based leader in high-pressure water jet cleaning, to bring advanced hydro milling services to Qatar. This partnership combines HMG’s proven global expertise with Petrotec’s established local presence and track record in delivering critical commissioning and plant support services across the energy and industrial sectors.
Hydro milling, also known as Aqua-Milling or Aqua-Lazing, is a precision cleaning method used to internally clean piping systems and process equipment using high-velocity water jets. It has become the preferred pre-commissioning technique for ensuring debris-free pipelines, reducing steam/air blow durations, and improving plant reliability from day one.
Petrotec is an authorized partner for Hydro Milling Group products in Qatar.
Key Benefits
