COPON INTERNAL COATING FOR OIL PIPELINES
COPON Pipelinings, E Wood Ltd pioneered the internal lining of gas pipelines in the 1950s and is recognised as the global leader in Internal Flow Coating Technology.
International Oil and Gas Operating Companies have now recognised the benefits of internally coating gas pipelines.
Oil Transmission Pipelines are a key element in the transport of fuel supplying energy and power to many countries providing sustained growth and development.
The operation and pumping costs of an oil pipeline are significant and in recognising this, COPON Pipelinings, E Wood Ltd developed Copon EP2306 XF Internal Flow Coating.
The key benefits of internally coating oil pipelines with Copon EP2306 XF are outlined below:
- Enhanced flow
- Reduced wax and hydrate formation
- Reduced pumping costs
- Corrosion protection in storage
- Reduced commissioning costs and pollution
- Easier and faster commissioning (inspection)
- Improved product purity
- No need for use of inhibitors/flow enhancers
A study carried out by NEL found an 11% pressure drop, which can translate into very large savings. For example, calculations show that for a typical 200 km x 26 in diameter oil pipeline, application of one coat of Copon EP2306 HF could result in fuel OPEX savings of approximately $1m / year.
Other benefits and application procedures are detailed in our Technical Submission Documents.
