WSI applied patented HF 40™ hardfacing to severely eroded biomass boiler tubes, completing repairs in six days with zero leaks, injuries, or rework.
During the mill’s outage, WSI restored the 1984 batch digester with precision weld overlay, strengthened reliability, and delivered zero incidents despite shifting schedules and remote conditions.
During the site’s largest turnaround, WSI’s automated welding systems restored coke drum integrity, improved reliability, and achieved zero incidents despite severe seasonal challenges.
August 19, 2024 – Suwanee, GA – WSI is proud to announce the signing of an agreement with Kanoo Energy- KESS (Kanoo Environmental Sustainability Solution), marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion within the Middle East. This strategic partnership combines WSI’s cutting-edge expertise in weld overlay, orbital welding, and high velocity thermal spray applications with Kanoo Energy’s extensive regional knowledge and invaluable experience.
This year marks a milestone for WSI, a partnership that began in 1978 between Phil Hulsizer and Frank Novak to address the rising demand for safety and quality critical repairs for pressure-retaining infrastructure.
Introducing a new suite of enhanced welding technologies that deliver higher productivity, improved integrity, and a better site experience.
Whether the nozzles needs to be repaired emergently or replaced in a planned turnaround, WSI has unparalleled innovative leadership in weld metal overlay technology backed by proven results.
