Wall Penetrations at compressor stations

Wall penetrations at compressor stations face corrosion risks due to various factors. External conditions, such as weather exposure, subject these stations to rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, leading to metal oxidation and rust. Additionally, corrosive gases like hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide in the environment can speed up corrosion. These gases penetrate wall openings and corrode metal surfaces over time.

Allter visco-elastic Polyisobutene sealant effectively addresses these issues. Its properties prevent moisture contact with the metal substrate and resist acids, bases, solvents, and oils.

Internal factors also contribute to corrosion. Moisture intrusion through wall penetrations can cause localized corrosion if not sealed properly. Compressor stations experience mechanical vibrations and stress during operation, leading to microcracks or weakened areas around wall openings, making them more susceptible to corrosion. Additionally, gases and fluids flowing through the compressor system, including condensate from gas compression, may contain corrosive impurities.

Allter visco-elastic Polyisobutene tackles these internal challenges. It ensures a lifetime seal, preventing localized corrosion. Its self-healing properties and flexibility provide stress resistance and long-lasting protection. Moreover, it resists internal chemical exposure, safeguarding the metal substrate. Thus, Allter visco-elastic Polyisobutene plays a crucial role in maintaining compressor station integrity.

Pipeline Corrosion Protection Coatings for Rehabilitation, bends, t-joints

Visco-elastic Polyisobutene stands out as a unique material, well-suited for pipeline rehabilitation. Its visco-elastic properties allow it to deform and flow under stress, making it an excellent choice for accommodating bends and t-joints commonly found in pipelines. This property ensures a tight seal, maintaining integrity even amid varying pressure and temperature conditions. Moreover, its elasticity enables it to revert to its original shape after stress removal, ensuring long-term durability. Consequently, using visco-elastic Polyisobutene significantly enhances pipeline lifespan and reliability, especially in complex configurations with bends and t-joints. These distinctive properties offer a promising solution for aging pipeline infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation.

Another significant advantage of visco-elastic Polyisobutene lies in its minimal equipment requirements for field application. Unlike other materials that demand complex machinery or specialized tools, this substance can be applied using basic equipment. This not only reduces overall rehabilitation costs but also enhances efficiency and minimizes time consumption. Additionally, its ease of application extends to areas with bends and t-joints, where it can be effectively used without extensive modifications. In summary, visco-elastic Polyisobutene serves as a practical and cost-effective solution for Pipeline Corrosion Protection Coatings and rehabilitation.

Pipe Saddles, Valves

Visco-elastic Polyisobutene serves as a versatile material with unique characteristics, particularly beneficial for applications involving pipe saddles and valves. Its visco-elastic properties allow it to deform under stress and then revert to its original shape once stress is removed. Consequently, it excels in sealing pipe saddles and valves, accommodating the movement and vibration often associated with these components without compromising its sealing integrity.

In the context of pipe saddles, which create branch connections on existing pipes, visco-elastic Polyisobutene provides a reliable and durable seal. It conforms to the saddle and pipe shape, ensuring a tight seal that prevents leaks.

Similarly, in valves, which regulate fluid flow in pipelines, visco-elastic Polyisobutene seals the valve body and stem. Its resistance to chemicals and temperature fluctuations makes it suitable for diverse environments, while its elasticity maintains an effective seal even during valve operation.

Overall, the material’s characteristics render it invaluable for maintaining and operating pipeline systems, especially in applications involving pipe saddles and valves. Its reliable sealing ability, durability, and resistance to harsh conditions position it as a preferred choice for industry professionals.

Insulation

Insulation plays a crucial role in preventing CUI by maintaining stable temperatures and minimizing exposure to the elements. It acts as a protective barrier, shielding metal surfaces from moisture, temperature fluctuations, and corrosive agents. Properly insulated systems reduce the risk of corrosion, ensuring the longevity and integrity of pipelines and equipment.

Field joints for Oil, Gas, Water, effluent, Chemical Pipelines

Field joints, crucial for pipelines carrying oil, gas, water, effluent, and chemicals, face several factors contributing to corrosion. When different materials like linepipe, coating, and joint material combine, galvanic corrosion can occur. However, the visco-elastic Polyisobutene adhesive forms a protective barrier between these dissimilar materials, preventing direct contact and thus galvanic corrosion.

Another factor is moisture ingress, where water or moisture penetrating the joint leads to localized corrosion. Here, visco-elastic Polyisobutene plays a vital role by providing a 100% homogenous seal from the steel surface of the field joint to the linepipe coating. This seal prevents moisture ingress and ensures that dissimilar materials do not come into contact.

Lastly, electrical activity in the ground, known as stray currents, can accelerate corrosion. Visco-elastic Polyisobutene ensures that cathodic disbondment cannot occur where it is applied, protecting against stray currents and maintaining the integrity of the joint. Thus, the Pipeline Corrosion Protection Coatings play a pivotal role in preserving the longevity and functionality of these pipelines.

Risers, Underground and above ground Flanges

Visco-elastic Polyisobutene is a unique material ideal for various applications, including risers, underground, and above-ground flanges. Its visco-elastic nature means it exhibits both viscous and elastic properties during deformation. It resists flow under stress, like a viscous liquid, and returns to its original shape when stress is removed, like an elastic solid.

In the context of risers, which connect underwater oil wells to production platforms, visco-elastic Polyisobutene forms a homogenous seal. This prevents corrosive seawater from reaching the steel surface, extending the riser’s lifespan.

For underground flanges, used to connect pipe sections in underground installations, visco-elastic Polyisobutene resists stray currents and cathodic disbondment. It protects the flange from corrosive effects of stray electrical currents in the ground.

Above-ground flanges, used in various industries, also benefit from visco-elastic Polyisobutene. It forms a seal, prevents moisture ingress, and maintains flange integrity even in harsh environmental conditions.

In summary, visco-elastic Polyisobutene ensures the longevity and reliability of risers, underground, and above-ground flanges by resisting corrosion, preventing moisture ingress, and protecting against stray currents.
