Insulation and corrosion prevention of offshore oil platform piping.

Problem

Sipetrol needed a solution for the pipelines on their AM6 offshore platform to reduce heat loss from the transported petroleum product.

Solution

Nansulate™ Translucent PT was applied at an average thickness of 350 microns dry film thickness to the exterior of the pipelines. The surface temperature of the pipelines was measured to indicate reduction of heat loss. Prior to being coated, the average temperature of the pipeline exterior was 140F (60C). After coating the lines with Nansulate™ Translucent PT, the average pipeline exterior temperature was 107.6F (42C). Their average temperature reduction was 32F (18C). Nansulate™ Translucent PT also provided corrosion protection in the severe marine environment.

Standout Results!

Nansulate™ Translucent PT provided an exceptional insulation coating for offshore equipment, that stood up well to the marine environment and offered resistance to CUI and corrosion in addition to insulation.
