Cokebusters
Authorized Representation in Egypt
NPICO is proud to represent Cokebusters, a technology-led engineering company specialising in Mechanical Cleaning, Intelligent In-Line Inspection, and Integrity Management for the global Energy Sector.
Since 2005 · UK & USA
In-house technology
Engineering capability, not off-the-shelf equipment
Operating since 2005 from facilities in the UK and USA, Cokebusters designs and manufactures its own inspection and cleaning technology in-house — including patented scraper pigs, single-module intelligent pigs and purpose-built Double Pumping Units.
This gives clients direct access to specialist engineering capability rather than generic hired equipment, supporting safer turnarounds and clearer integrity decisions.
Mechanical cleaning and in-line inspection as one combined service
Cokebusters is uniquely positioned to deliver both as a single patented offering (since 2007). That reduces mobilisations, shortens turnaround duration, and provides verified integrity data from a clean tube surface.
Fewer mobilisations
One crew, one campaign for clean + inspect
Shorter turnarounds
Less downtime between cleaning and inspection
Verified integrity data
Measurements taken from a clean tube surface
Cokebusters Services
Through NPICO, Egyptian energy and industrial operators can access Cokebusters’ specialised cleaning and inspection capability for fired heaters, process systems and pipelines.
Mechanical Cleaning
Controlled removal of coke and scale from process systems including fired heater coils, delayed coker heaters, crude units, visbreakers, vacuum heaters, process boilers, transfer lines and pipelines.
- Patented scraper pigs propelled bi-directionally using water flow
- Navigate plug headers without modification to existing pipework
- Purpose-built Double Pumping Units with integrated water filtration
- Reduced water consumption and site waste
In-Line Inspection
Ultrasonic smart pig inspection assessing internal and external tube surfaces — detecting metal loss, corrosion, pitting, creep, ovality, diametric growth and other defects.
- Single-module, compact, untethered and bi-directional intelligent pig
- Navigates tight-radius bends, schedule changes and un-barred tee-pieces
- Inspection of systems conventionally considered “unpiggable”
- Supports fitness-for-service (API 579 / ASME FFS-1) and remaining life assessment
Typical Applications
Designed for refining, petrochemical and energy assets where heater and tube integrity is critical to safe, continuous operation.
