Oil And Gas Industry Applications

Petroleum projects need protection against mechanical impacts, increased resistance to abrasion, and corrosion in seawater and chemical environments. Polycoat Polyurea is an extremely durable coating that forms a continuous, seamless membrane, with a very fast curing time in the air and excellent corrosion resistance. It adheres perfectly to a variety of surfaces, making it the ideal coating to protect specialized industrial projects such as the oil and gas industry.

Optimal corrosion protection solutions for exposed tanks and pipelines using coating materials

Corrosion Protection Coating Materials Used Worldwide

• Epoxy-based materials (zinc-rich, amine-cured, etc.): Widely used in the chemical industry for interior and exterior coatings of concrete and metal tanks, pipelines, etc.
• Chlorinated rubber-based materials: Primarily used to create a corrosion-resistant lining for the exterior of steel structures.
• Acrylic and alkyd-based materials: Provide light-duty corrosion and chemical resistance.
• Polyurea-based materials: Highly resistant to chemicals, salts, and oils. Polyurea has been used worldwide for over 30 years and is becoming the most preferred material due to its superior performance compared to others. PUA has been used as a coating for oil pipelines, oil tanks, and chemical storage tanks in many countries, including Iran, Russia, the USA, China, Arab countries, and Turkey.

Simplified Process for Using PUA Corrosion Protection for Tanks and Pipelines

1. Remove old coatings (if present) and clean the substrate surface using high-pressure water blasting (grit, shot, etc.).
2. Abrasive blast the steel or concrete surface to the specified technical standard.
3. Patch the substrate surface if it is porous (use ceramic-filled epoxy for steel or repair mortar for concrete).
4. Apply a primer coat to create adhesion between the substrate and the Polyurea.
5. Spray the Polycoat Polyurea layer to the required thickness as per the design specifications.
6. Apply a Topcoat for protection and finishing on the exterior of exposed structures.

Optimal corrosion protection solutions for concrete and reinforced concrete structures

Methods for Chloride Ion Corrosion Protection for Reinforced Concrete

• Enhancing concrete quality: Use high-strength concrete and corrosion-inhibiting additives.
• Increasing the thickness of the concrete protective layer for the rebar.
• Coating the rebar with anti-corrosion paint.
• Protecting the exterior of the reinforced concrete structure with anti-corrosion coatings.
• Using electrochemical corrosion protection solutions.

Optimal Solutions for Repairing Corrosion in Reinforced Concrete

• Chisel away chloride-affected, spalling concrete.
• Thoroughly clean the rust from the rebar.
• Reinforce with new rebar (if necessary).
• Paint the rebar with anti-corrosion paint.
• Apply high-strength concrete with high corrosion resistance for the structure.
• Apply a PUA coating in areas with a high risk of corrosion.

Optimal Fire Protection Solutions for Steel Structures

• Remove rust from the steel structure.
• Spray a primer coat.
• Spray a 1.3mm thick acrylic-based fire-resistant coating (providing 2-hour fire protection).
• Apply a finishing Topcoat.
