Main Deck of FPSO of the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia
Project: Main Deck and Fittings Owner: Bumi Care Offshore Production
Sdn Bhd Location: FPSO, Offshore Terengganu, Malaysia.
Applicator : Seahorse Services Sdn Bhd
Date of Application : June 2002
The Challenge:
The main
deck and fittings such as butterworth hole coamings, goosenecks
and pipe flanges exhibits heavy corrosion. The client wants to
have these areas prepared by hand tools or high pressure washing
because they can’t allow the contractor to use power tools
or gritblasting since the area is above the crude oil tanks. They
need a surface tolerant coating and can be applied on operating
temperatures as high as 90°C. A composite sleeve is also needed
on highly pitted areas of the deck and coamings.
Solution:
                Areas were prepared using hand
tools such as chipping hammers and wire brushes and holes on decks
and coamings were applied with our polymat saturated with Corro-Fix
911. Followed by Corro-Dur 561 and finish coat of Corro-Dur 258.
Coamings and goosenecks were reinforced with Corro-Wrap in conjunction
with Corro-Fix 911 and Corro-Dur 561 / 258.
Result:
The client
is satisfied with the job since these products were also applied
previously on their water ballast tanks without removing the water
on the tanks and divers applied it underwater.
