Performance Profile: Brine tanks
Distributor:

Sigma Engineering Works
CeRam-Kote Division
Customer: Petro-Chem, Abu Dhabi
Applicator:

Sigma Engineering Works, Abu Dhabi

Problem:

The brine mixing plant is a highly corrosive and abrasive environment. Petro-Chem was looking for a coating that would provide a longer inservice life than previous coatings used.

 

Solution:

Petro-Chem selected CeRam-Kote 54® for its previous success, performance and inservice life in the drilling industry. Brine mixing tanks were coated both I.D. and O.D. Internally, CeRam-Kote 54® ABR was used to protect the steel substrate from corrosion by slowing or preventing the permeability of the brine solution.

Externally, the tanks and all associated piping and fittings were coated with CeRam-Kote 54® ATM for atmospheric corrosion protection, color matching and cleanability.

After the completion of the application at Sigma Engineering Works in Abu Dhabi, the tanks were moved to Doha, set up on site where any transportation damage was easily touched up. The tanks have since been relocated to Dubai.
 
Result:

Transportation tanks have been recently coated as well as generator units and other applications in the plant due to the customer’s satisfaction with CeRam-Kote 54®.
