SYMMETRY SOLUTIONS CUSTOMER, Jet Edge, Inc., HELPS STOP BP LEAK
We continue to be amazed at how our customers push the envelope and solve problems around the world. In this case, Jet Edge Inc contributed to the stopping of the BP well by removing ice crystals from a containment cap. Well done folks.

Water jet technology companies Jet Edge, Inc. and Chukar Waterjet, Inc.

recently played a key role in helping BP stop the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The companies provided ultra-high pressure waterjet equipment and application expertise to blast away hydrate ice crystals that had formed inside a containment cap at the spill site, clogging the containment system.

Jet Edge custom engineered a 36,000 psi waterjet intensifier pump that was dropped 5,000 feet into the Gulf to power a robot-operated waterjetting lance that blasted away the hydrates. To ensure the hydrate remediation project's success, Jet Edge utilized advanced filtration and ultra-high pressure seal technology capable of withstanding the harsh undersea environment.
