garnet blasting abrasives for oil and gas

Oil & Gas Blasting Abrasives

GMA provides a range of blasting abrasives for upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.

GMA works extensively with global oil & gas asset owners to ensure our blasting abrasives meet the stringent standards set to ensure asset protection and longevity. Key product performance characteristics include

Creating a high surface profile
Creating a consistent peak density, higher than alternate abrasives, 3-5 times higher than slag abrasives.
A clean surface free of contaminants
Very low dust emissions
Extremely low trace levels of heavy metals, far below most alternate abrasives.
Minimal if any health hazards.

Offshore and Onshore Refineries

Offshore surface preparation is challenging. Remote access, aggressive environment, and risks to worker safety and environmental challenges just to name a few.
GMA works extensively with global oil & gas asset owners to ensure our blasting abrasives meet the stringent standards set to ensure asset protection and longevity. GMA Garnet™ is particularly suited to Offshore Platforms due to:

Very low dust emissions, reducing risk to surrounding sensitive equipment
High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to low abrasive consumption, minimizing material transport and storage offshore
Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment, for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral with little to no recordable heavy metals or worker risks & hazards.

Tanks, terminals and pipelines

GMA Garnet™ is a staple in tank (external & linings), terminal, and pipeline fabrication and maintenance work.

Fabrication: GMA Garnet™ is ideally suited for fabrication where hard mill scale is present. GMA NewSteel™ is the fastest mineral abrasive on the market for removing mill scale.
Maintenance: GMA’s unique engineered blends are ideal for cleaning heavily pitted steel tank floors and internal tank linings. GMA Garnet™ cuts and cleans faster, leaving a cleaner and more consistent surface, while using less abrasive media and producing far less dust than alternate abrasives.
