Installations for the oil and gas industry often suffer heavy corrosion. Good surface preparation extends the lifetime of the paint, meaning less maintenance and lower costs. ATHI Shot Blasting and Anti-corrosion Coating Line can provide surface finishing solutions to protect the installations from corrosion.
Oil and Gas Industry Surface Finishing
Corrosion is a significant obstacle in pipes’ operability for long and short periods. Shot blasting oil and gas pipelines with professional materials is the most effective way to ensure long service life and increased operability. It effectively removes rust and dirt built up on pipes and other impurities that negatively affect the service life of oil and gas pipelines.
The flow capacity of the inner walls of oil and gas pipelines affected by corrosion and rust is lower than that of walls maintained through blasting operations. For example, the damage is significant whenever seawater fills a rusty and corroded pipe. It leads to the deterioration and, ultimately, the need to replace it entirely, which requires increased financial expenditure from the companies. ATHI has Steel Pipe 3PE Anti-Corrosion Coating Line for pipeline protection with complex terrain and severe corrosion. You can use the equipment for oil, water, natural gas, and other steel pipelines.
Some benefits of ATHI Steel Pipe 3PE Anti-Corrosion Coating Line
- 3PE epoxy coated steel pipe has good stability and anti-aging performances under average work temperature and pressure conditions; consequently, its lifetime can prolong above 50 years.
- The PE material has no poison or harm. It is a kind of green material. It can be recycled and will not pollute the environment.
- Compared to varnished pipe, PE coated tube has better wear resistance.
Shot blasting does not raise environmental issues for open space blasting. It is a significant advantage for the oil and gas industry. On the one hand, we must lead multiple maintenance operations for the entire pipeline’s infrastructure to minimize the risk of damage. On the other hand, the activities must meet various environmental standards by the very nature. The activities have a less negative impact on the environment, which is a major plus and a benefit for all the parties involved. ATHI offers shot blasting machines specially designed for the external surface treatment of tubular products such as pipes, rods, bars, and cylindrical tanks, such as QG Series steel pipe outer/inner surface shot blasting machines.
The Steel Pipe Inner Surface Shot Blasting Machine is suitable for the inner surface treatment of steel pipe products. It can remove the surface oxide scale, welding slag, and other debris, exhibit a metallic luster and increase the surface area to facilitate the coating of the workpieces. You can use it in petrochemical, steel, urban central heating, water supply, and drainage industries.
The Steel Pipe Outer Shot Blasting Machine is a new type of shot blasting equipment suitable for pre-treatment steel pipes such as tap water, natural gas, mines, oil fields, etc., and shot blasting of pipelines such as pipelines subsea or desert, gas, etc. It can improve the appearance quality and surface process status.
Shot blasting has become an essential part of many industries and applications. Here are some advantages:
- Minimal cleanup. Shot blast machines have a robust dust collection system that cleans up old coatings all along the process.
- Efficient. Shot blasting is a quick and straightforward method of stripping surfaces. These machines can blast and repair surfaces evenly and effortlessly.
- Environmentally-friendly. The abrasives used for blasting surfaces are recyclable. You can use them multiple times to lower maintenance and operation costs.
