Benchmark Services uses Sodium Nitrite (reduces flash rust) treated water, charged to 10,000 psi to blast away any surface rust and flaking inside the piping in a lube oil system. Surface rust and flakes are typical hiding places of hard particulates that can break loose at any time, potentially causing severe damage to the turbine bearings. This high pressure water is injected through a flexible lance that is inserted through the lube oil piping. After the hydroblasting is completed, the system is blown down to remove any excess water, the a light oil vapor is sprayed into the pipes to further protect against flash rusting. This hydroblasting process, is not recommended unless followed up immediately with a high velocity turbine oil flush.
