Shaping the future together
WAS Erosion technology
Water Abrasive Suspension (WAS) erosion technology
The Water Abrasive Suspension (WAS) erosion technology uses a high pressure water jet and a sharp-edged abrasive garnet to erode various materials from stubborn coatings on hard surface to solid steel.
Fields of application
- Removal of deposits and deformations in pipes
- Removal of stubborn deposits from surfaces
Key Features
- Small/micro cuttings
- Low reactive torque
- Erodes any material or structure
Current use and further development
The most important area of application is erosion of restrictions in wells in the oil and gas industry.
The further development and adaptation of this technology for other areas of application is an exciting task within the scope of our research & development.
