How else are non-welding piping systems making a difference?
For starters, they don’t have to worry about releasing any welding fumes into the air. Also, because there is no welded connection to crack or fatigue over time, Tube-Mac’s system has a longer life span, making it more sustainable. “Welding requires acid pickling, a cleaning process that pours chemicals in the pipes to break off and flush out any slag,” says Peitchinis. “The entire process produces large quantities of chemicals that need to be disposed, which becomes a huge environmental issue.” “With our systems, those chemicals are eliminated from the equation. The only added process we do is run the customer’s oil through a filter to ensure it’s clean. Then we cap off the lines so it stays in our system. The oil has to be cleaner than blood. Any loose particles will eventually break down the pipe components because they move at such high pressures.” “You know, the whole environmental thing isn’t new for us,” Peitchinis chuckles. “We’ve been telling customers about the environmental
