Problem: How to fix pipe corrosion and holes in tank walls without shutdown or downtime
Pipes, tanks and machinery operating in harsh industrial or marine environments are exposed to corrosion and erosion that weaken structural integrity and eventually form holes. This problem frequently occurs in the area of complex bends or tees where pipes are most vulnerable and difficult to fix. Leaks begin to form and cause system failure, shutdown and costly loss of productivity. Further complications include safety hazards, product loss and environmental contamination along with sky-high clean-up costs and potential fines.
Cut and weld repairs are typically performed to fix metal corrosion. Welding is hazardous, slow and expensive work – oftentimes requiring system clean-out, permits, inspections and downtown. Epoxy composite wrap pipe repair systems provide an effective alternative that is both safer and faster.
Solution: Cold-curing composite wrap repairs that can be done online and without welding
Our Belzona SuperWrap II system restores structural integrity and rapidly repairs corrosion, erosion and impact damage to piplines and tanks – including holed conditions. Repairs typically take only a few hours to complete and can be done in-situ without hot work. In many cases, systems remain online or without the need for draining and clean-out, saving you time, money and labor.
The SuperWrap II system is incredibly durable. A combination of 100% solids resin, carbon and glass fiber reinforcement sheet ensures a quick and simple application that can remain maintenance-free for up to 20 years.
