Fortune 500 Oil Refinery To Use CleanTech & MarkStar Systems
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 19, 2024 – Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing, announced today that it has received a dual order from global oil refiner Phillips 66 for both a CleanTech and a MarkStar laser system.
“We are honored to welcome Phillips 66 as our new client and deliver our industrial-grade laser technologies to a major U.S. oil refinery,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of LPC. “The company’s commitment to safety, sustainability, and innovation aligns with our mission to provide cleaner and safer solutions for material processing. This order underscores the value of our environmentally friendly technologies in meeting the energy needs of millions.”
Phillips 66 has acquired LPC’s CleanTech IR-3040, an industrial-grade handheld laser cleaning system, and the MarkStar PM-2010, a compact desktop laser marking system. These will be shipped to its pioneer site, focusing on testing out innovative technologies that have the potential to optimize existing processes, improve the bottom line, enhance personnel safety, and reduce environmental impact.
The CTIR-3040 is powered by laser ablation technology, which offers a non-contact method to clean and profile surfaces without abrasives or chemicals. Phillips 66 plans to use the CTIR-3040 to remove scale formation during pipe and pressure vessel maintenance, as well as to prepare surfaces for re-painting ahead of regular facility inspections. Following a testing interval, the company is considering implementing laser solutions to replace sandblasting processes.
The MSPM-2010 laser marking system will be used to mark data plates for refinery pressure vessels, which are periodically re-rated. This technology provides a high-speed, consumable-free solution for creating permanent, legible markings on a wide variety of materials.
