HPC® Coating on Oil Tanks, Campo Palagua, Columbia
Case Study on how HPC® Coating protects and insulates equipment in the oil and gas industry
Report of product demonstration HPC® Coating (thermal insulation coating) in temperature conduction pipes, crude storage tank and crude oil flow tank by temperature, Campo Palagua, Columbia August 30, 2018.
Objectives HPC® Coating Application
- Avoid loss of temperature to the crude plant with water.
- Avoid losing the normal flow of crude oil due to the loss of temperature.
- Lower consumption of heat generation. The company UNION TEMPORAL IJP, wants with thermal insulation to lower current costs.
Activities carried out
- Cleaning and preparation of the surfaces where the HPC® Coating thermal insulation coating.
- Application of the products in Piping temperature, Tank Storage of crude oil and Crude oil tank by temperature.
- Valuation and inspection of the areas where HPC® Coating was applied.
- Final inspection of the HPC® Coating thermal coating detail applied.
Observation
- Deterioration in various areas of pipelines and corrosion.
- Loss of energy in the areas to intervene.
- Loss of heat.
- High consumption of heat generation.
HPC® Coating treated areas
- Temperature conduction pipes
- Storage tank of crude oil.
- Oil flow tank by temperature.
Conclusions
- The results of the test were successful and approved by the engineers of UNION TEMPORAL IJP – CAMPO PALAGUA.
- The area to be treated is approximately 17,500 meters.
- UNION TEMPORAL IJP- CAMPO PALAGUA, urgently requests an economic proposal, including the HPC® Coating and the application service.
- We believe we should offer the HPC® Coating conditions given l as temperature variation.
- The prices for the economic proposal must be in accordance with the needs of the client and the collaboration of SPI is fundamental.
- The equipment for the application of the HPC® Coating should be ideal and necessary the advice of SPI.
- The project in this company UNION TEMPORAL IJP- CAMPO PALAGUA , will be the pilot model as an example for other companies in the oil sector (Ecopetrol – Mansarovar – Parex – OXI and others ) .
