At Tech Sonic, we’re driven by a bold vision to improve life for everyone —and we believe helping the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries reach carbon neutrality is a big part of that mission. Our reimagined washpad technology empowers you to:

1. Bolster Economic Viability & Manage Risk

Slash operating, maintenance, safety, and environmental costs while staying nimble and more profitable.

Turn digital cleaning data into actionable insights that help you optimize operations and maintenance.

2. Shrink Your Environmental Footprint

Boost heat transfer efficiency to cut greenhouse gas emissions and lower carbon intensity.

Use less water and generate less wastewater—freeing resources that impact the local environment.

Clean once-uncleanable assets and keep tons of contaminated waste out of landfills and recyclers.

3. Elevate Social Responsibility & Stakeholder Engagement

Improve profits while taking real, measurable steps on climate action and environmental impact.

Protect worker safety, attract a new generation of skilled talent, and strengthen community relations.

Planning for Carbon Pricing Isn’t Optional—It’s Inevitable.

The oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors are bracing for a future where carbon costs more - and regulation gets tighter. To stay competitive, many are already baking internal carbon prices of $50–$100/ton into long-term decisions on capital spending, technology, and project viability.

At Tech Sonic, we see this shift as an opportunity. Our modeling shows that improving the return-to-service performance of critical heat exchangers by 20% through better cleaning can cut GHG liability by up to $1.20 USD per barrel refined at a $75/ton carbon price. Even a modest 2% boost in heat transfer delivers $0.12 per barrel in carbon savings—adding up to nearly $1 billion annually across U.S. refiners.

Carbon costs are coming—everywhere. A Tech Sonic Washpad offers a zero-capex solution that reduces emissions, slashes maintenance costs, and strengthens your path to net zero.

The Hidden Million-Dollar Drain: Washpad Water Waste
Did you know that cleaning a single heat exchanger during a turnaround can burn through 1 to 5 million litres of water? Multiply that by dozens of exchangers and the numbers get staggering - fast.

Water might seem cheap, but it’s never free. Between sourcing, pumping, and treatment, your washpad could be leaking hundreds of thousands of dollars per turnaround.

Let’s break it down:

Water supply costs: $0.26–$1.06 per 1,000 litres

Effluent treatment: $0.53–$2.65 per 1,000 litres

For a moderate turnaround (50 exchangers) using conventional hydroblasting:

Water used: 50M–250M litres

Total cost: $112,500–$562,500

And that doesn’t include costly delays when water supply or wastewater systems can’t keep up.

💧Cut Water and Wastewater by 75% or More with Tech Sonic
A Tech Sonic Washpad slashes water use and effluent generation by over 75%—eliminating supply bottlenecks, avoiding treatment delays, and unlocking serious savings:

Estimated savings: $84,375–$421,875 per turnaround

And that’s just the direct cost. Add in faster cleaning, less downtime, and lower emissions—and the savings multiply.
