Text Box: CORROSION PROTECTION / PIPELINE REINFORCEMENT SERVICE

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Corrosion occurs once the cathodic protection or electrical continuity of the pipeline is breached. Corrosion can be dangerous to properties and life if it is not solved. Corrosion protection is a preventive measure of ensuring that the severity of corrosion is stopped. Depending on the type of corrosion, WRAP SEAL^TM PLUS — a corrosion repair kit is use to apply directly on the pipe surface to contain and prevent aggravation of corrosion. When WRAP SEAL^TM PLUS is applied onto the pipeline, it reinforces and strengthens the pipeline structure so that it can withstand pressure under design operating conditions.

PROBLEMS FACED WITH CORROSION

You are often faced with the following problems when corrosion occurs:

1. Corrosion causes pipe wall thinning which are usually unsolved

2. Corrosion causes reduction in wall thickness and system is forced to operate at lower than design operation conditions causing lower efficiency and higher costs.

2. Corrosion can be lethal when it goes undetected and unresolved

2. Corrosion usually progress to leaks which are expensive and harmful to environment

3. Preventive measures for detecting corrosion are expensive or unreliable.

4. Schedule maintenance of underground pipeline are difficult to plan.
