Dry Ice Blasting for Oil & Gas
Safe, non-abrasive cleaning for wells, production facilities, and refineries—serving Bakersfield & the Central Valley
Sclafani Construction Services provides industrial dry ice blasting that removes hydrocarbons, paraffin, scale, coatings, sticky residues, and built-up grime without water, chemicals, or abrasion. Ideal for live facilities and electrical equipment, our process reduces downtime and restores performance across Central California oilfields and midstream assets.
Why Oil & Gas Chooses Dry Ice Blasting
- No moisture, no residues: Dry ice pellets sublimate on impact—no secondary waste beyond the dislodged contaminant.
- Non-abrasive & non-conductive: Safe for electrical gear, controls, sensors, and soft metals; helps extend equipment life.
- Minimal downtime: Clean in place (CIP) on many assets—keep critical systems online where safe and permitted.
- Chemical-free: Cuts solvent use and rinse water handling.
- Deep clean: Reaches crevices, fins, windings, threads, and tight geometries traditional methods miss.
What We Clean in Oil & Gas
- Wellsite & Production: wellheads, trees, pump jacks, rod pumps, polish rods, stuffing boxes, skids, separators, heater treaters, flow lines, valves.
- Refining & Midstream heat exchangers, condensers, fin-fan coolers, compressors, motors, MCCs, switchgear (de-energized), control cabinets, conveyors, tanks (external), piping, NDE prep areas.
- Electrical & Controls: panels, PLC enclosures, generators, turbines (external surfaces), cable trays (surface contamination).
- Facility Surfaces: structural steel, mezzanines, handrails, floors, grating, spill/overspray areas, coating removal prep.
Use Cases We See Most
- Paraffin/asphaltene removal to restore flow and heat transfer efficiency.
- Turnaround/outage cleaning that compresses schedules and speeds inspections.
