Middle East Oil Terminal Stubs
IMG Composites technologies allow repairs to be undertaken using surface preparation standards St 2 to SA 2.5. This technology means that the repairs can be carried out without causing further damage to already weakened systems.
A major Middle East oil terminal had problems with corrosion around stubs and off take valves. Severe corrosion had taken place and the operator was concerned with the integrity of the stubs. IMG Composites were approached and tasked with providing a composite solution that would enable the operation of the plant to continue. The answer was provided in the form of CompoSol® Encap.
As the stubs had already suffered significant wall loss due to severe corrosion it was vital that the surface preparation method employed would not be overly damaging to the substrate. IMG Composites technologies allow repairs to be undertaken using surface preparation standards St 2 to SA 2.5. This technology means that the repairs can be carried out without causing further damage to already weakened systems.
Utilising CompoSol®’s unique high-strength pour and wrap composite surrounded by steel outer casings, integrity was restored to the stubs. Crucially for the client the repairs required no hot work and thus, the repairs were carried out while the line was still live.
