Cold as Ice: Pipes Coated at a Fully Operational Refinery

Key Points

• To investigate the feasibility and impact of recoating cold, wet pipes while the refinery operates.
• Conducted maintenance activities on cold pipes during standard refinery operations.
• Assessed safety protocols and operational impacts of recoating procedures.
• Evaluated the effectiveness of various coating materials under operational conditions.
• Successfully recoated pipes without significant interruption to refinery operations.
• Maintained operational safety and efficiency standards throughout the coating process.
• Demonstrated that recoating can enhance pipe longevity and reduce future maintenance needs.
