Liquid Pipe Coatings for Gas, Oil and Water Industries

By: Dr S Kut, Phd BSc C Chem FRSC FTSC FIMF FICort. International Direct, E Wood/Copon International Limited
At: The Pipe Protection Conference, Bhra.Amsterdam 10-12 November 1993

Abstract:
The paper reviews 35 years experience in the internal coating of over 70,000 km of pipelines worldwide - the financial and technical benefits obtained both for land and off shore lines. Considered will be the current status, methods available and future developments. Leading on from sweet gas, will be discussed a new generation of internal pipe coatings for sour gas - for aggressive and highly acidic conditions. This will be linked with techniques to give a continuous coating, which is essential in such corrosive environments. Similarly internal pipe coatings for the water industry - meeting the latest water regulations for potable water. Lining of outfalls and rehabilitation of sewers is also discussed.

Liquid Pipe Coatings for the Water Industry

By: Dr S Kut, Phd BSc C Chem FRSC FTSC FIMF FICort. International Direct, E Wood/Copon International Limited.
At: 1st International Conference Coating and Linings for the Water and Waste Water Industry. 5-9 June 1995, Prague, Czech Republic.

Abstract:
The main part of the paper is devoted to detailing the technical and financial benefits of utilising epoxy coatings for the lining of pipes in the Water Industry. This is now more readily achieved by the availability of a coating to the latest United Kingdom Drinking Water Inspectorate Water Regulations. Broad references are also made to effective and environmentally friendly coatings now available for the entire spectrum of substrates encountered in the Water Industry.

Pipe Line Rehabilitation and Maintenance

By: Reimar Ungerechts (BSc Hons) E Wood Group Technical Services Manager
At: 5th International Conference & Exhibition, Bahrain - 19-23 January 2002

Abstract:
Although pipe coaters prefer to choose the most cost effective protection, the list of traditionally used insulation materials is steadily dwindling, as their use has been found to raise health concerns, or it is now realised that the performance offered will not satisfy the rigorous demands of the customer. Of the remaining alternatives that are available, many are not practical to apply or again do not offer the degree of performance required. This paper highlights the industry trends in selecting an insulation material and why more pipeline protection programs are turning to the use of pure solvent-free polyurethane materials.

The use of Epoxy Resin and Polyurethane Materials for Non Structural Lining of Water Mains

By: Ian Warren/Peter Oram of Metcalfe & Eddy Ltd
At: Ceocor 2001. 2-5 October

Abstract:
The UK water industry has been utilising in situ applied materials for the non structural rehabilitation of water mains since the early 1900's. The process originated with the in situ application of cement mortar which over the last 20 years has been completely replaced by epoxy resin materials. Whilst offering a durable, inert and proven coating which can be applied relatively quickly and at a low cost, the mixed epoxy resin material takes some 16 hours to cure. Although planned water supply shutdowns of up to 34 hours are deemed acceptable by most UK water companies, the rehabilitation industry has been striving for a number of years to develop rapid-setting materials to minimise this cure period and thereby reduce disruption to customers. Since the introduction of the first rapid-setting product in 1999, numerous water companies and contractors have assessed the potential advantages of its used and to date some 150 kilometres have been applied to water mains ranging in diameter from 75mm to 825mm. This paper describes the process of applying epoxy resin and rapid-setting polyurethane materials and discuss the advantages of non structural lining and the particular benefits of applying rapid setting products.
