Pipes in industries are generally placed on the ground according to their use, and various supports are used to maintain and protect them.
The second category is placed in a depth according to the design conditions to perform their role in the process. Some pipes may also be designed from the ground to the inside and vice versa. The working conditions of buried pipes expose them to harmful sources.
Apart from the damage that may be caused by the fluid inside the pipe and the prevailing conditions inside it, soil external pressure, moisture and acidic conditions will also affect the pipe external surface.
The mentioned conditions may cause mechanical changes such as indentation in the pipe and wear, and chemical damage such as corrosion of the external surface of the pipe.
Although several methods have been used by industries to prevent this type of damage, it is observed that buried pipes leak and fail every day.
When a leak occurs, pipe needs to be repaired or replaced to prevent losses. As it is known, the existing old methods suggest pipe replacement and welding, which is very costly and is not suitable for some pipes like GRP. Also, severe corrosion is always observed in the place where the pipe is pulled from the ground to the inside and vice versa.
In this place, even if paint is used, the paint will bleed after some time. It is very important to use a method that will solve the above problems and meet the need for many years.
Farasath Zarfam Company has completely solved several projects of this kind that respected clients have referred to this company with the innovative methods like composite coatings.
The composite coating offered by Farasath Zarfam company is completely designed based on ASME and ISO standards, and each one is customized based on the client’s needs. Fluid conditions, soil, humidity and even pressure changes that may occur in the pipe are considered in the design.
The materials used in the composite coating will also be selected based on the working conditions. For example, if a pipe simultaneously needs to be strengthened, and fixed, special composite compounds are used for this purpose simultaneously. In the area where the pipe protrudes from the ground, humidity, working and corrosion conditions make that area very susceptible to failure. In this respect, Farasath Zarfam Company has completed several projects in various industries such as oil and gas industries in the south of Iran.
Protecting and strengthening buried pipes using composite coatings plays a role in increasing the efficiency of repairs and maintenance and can significantly reduce its costs.
It is hoped that respected clients, using the experience and knowledge of Farasath Zarfam Company, will protect the existing buried pipelines in the industry, because they are considered very important assets of any group.
