Oil and gas industry is known as one of the mother industries in the world. This industry has always had unique needs that require special solutions. The raw materials of this industry, as well as most of its products, as well as the generated waste, are liquid and need to be stored in separate reservoirs. If we pay attention to the chemical structure of this category of fluids, their structure usually has acidic or alkaline properties. Acidity and alkalinity, along with mechanical loads resulting from fluid flow, cause tension and numerous injuries. As mentioned, oil and gas fluids need to be stored in reservoirs to be used when needed. Reservoirs are usually made of metal because it is very easy to make and the fluid cannot penetrate through its thickness and leak like concrete reservoirs. But due to the placement of the metal body of the reservoir next to the alkaline and acidic fluids of the oil and gas industry and their reactivity together, the corrosion and thickness reduction will happen in the reservoir. The seams of the welds are prone to leakage and usually get punctured. In the inspections that have been carried out on metal reservoirs, a general problem has been clearly seen in them, which is caused by the reaction of some materials with the floor and wall connected to the floor up to a height of about 1.5 m, causing severe corrosion and even every few years, they need to be repaired or replaced. Conventional methods in the oil and gas industry to solve this problem are very costly and time-consuming, that’s why Farasath Zarfam Company, which has a history of manufacturing metal-composite reservoirs with the ability to withstand temperature changes up to 120 and variable acidity of 13<PH<2, use composite coating to strengthen this category of reservoirs against corrosion.
According to the mentioned cases, variable acidity causes corrosion of metal reservoirs, so in order to design a coating that prevents corrosion, it is necessary to choose a resin that resists the aforementioned changes in the field of composite coating. Also, the fibers that are used as reinforcement in the structure of the composite coating must be resistant to chemical changes so that they do not lose their properties over time. Another important point in increasing the lifespan and efficiency of the composite coating in metal reservoirs is applying and bonding the composite adhesive to the metal body of the reservoir. This issue has been well analyzed scientifically and practically in Farasath Zarfam company and includes various ways according to the conditions of the reservoir and HSE. In general, the application of a composite coating designed according to the conditions of each metal reservoir in the oil and gas industry in Farasath Zarfam Company is able to protect the employer from the huge costs of repairs and waste of leaked resources for many years and helps to protect the environment and non-penetration of petroleum fluids into the ground.
It is hoped that the major employers of the oil and gas industries will be able to take a big step in preserving their resources and assets by using the various composite coatings of Farasath Zarfam Company. In this company, we are always ready to provide our dear employers with our services.
