Pipelines of Refineries of A leading Taiwanese Oil Company
Project:
Pipelines of Refineries
Location:
Taipei, Taiwan
Applicator: In-House
Contractor
Date of
Application: August 2001
The Challenge:
A leading Taiwanese Oil Company owns and operates three refineries in Taiwan namely,
Kaoshsiung refinery (KOR), Taoyuan Refinery (TOR) and Talin Refinery.
A long stretch of oil and gas pipelines needed maintenance specially
those areas that exhibit crevice corrosion. They need a product
that will that will permanently protect the pipelines from further
deterioration and can be applied at any weather condition. The
different divisions who will carry out the repair works have to
finish it before the end of year 2001.
Requirement:
A test was conducted for different pipeline rehabilitation system to determine
which product is best suited for their requirement. Corro-Wrap
in conjunction with Corro-Fix 911/ Corro-Dur 561 was applied and
passed the test conducted by CPC engineer. The product is very
easy to use and can be applied even at the bends. Normally it
can be applied in a few minutes and put it into service after
a few hours.
Solution:
The contractors and CPC
engineers who witnessed the demonstration / testing of the product
is very impressed and initial repair works of pipelines showed
that production rate is quite fast compared to the other product
that was used previously. The client realizes a big savings on
their repair works since less manpower is required, faster production
rate, less downtime and the price of product is reasonable.
