THE BEST PROTECTION FOR YOUR PIPELINE
We offer a number of specialized techniques and procedures to minimize and protect your pipeline or system from internal and external corrosion.
Flange encapsulation
The flange encapsulation method uses a specially developed resin mixture to protect metals against corrosion. While other products have cavities, which, in time, will be filled with rainwater or melt from the heat of the sun, our resin mixture is balanced in such a way that during the curing process, the volume increases 1-3% causing a tight closure while the resin remains flexible. There are no cavities and water cannot penetrate.
Advantages of the vacuum filling technique include:
- Connection is protected from corrosion (including, stud bolts, flanges, nuts)
- Resonance of the flange connections is lowered thereby reducing noise impact in installations.
- Flanges can be dismantled at a later stage, bolts will be in new condition over the parts that were in the resin mixture.
We also offer:
Cathodic protection
This involves development, engineering, delivery, monitoring and maintenance of cathodic protection systems.
Intelligent pigging
This is a non-destructive method of obtaining information about the interior of a pipeline or system which involves the use of intelligent pigs and ultrasound technology to identify details of corrosion points.
Caliper pigging
Caliper pigging measures the internal geometry of pipelines to establish the presence of dents, ovalities and foreign objects in the system. Caliper pigging can be executed together with other services as required, for example in the drying phase of pre-commissioning or as a single service.
Sour treatment for rust removal
This method involves the removal of internal corrosion specifically for pipelines that need to be perfectly clean, such as oxygen and hydrogen transport lines.
