Petro
Canada - Edmonton Refinery
August 2005
HOT PIPE COATING ®
An
exchanger end was running at 258° F ( 126° C ) before being insulated
with HOT PIPE COATING ®.
Petro Canada's objective was to reduce operating temperature to 120° F (49°
C). HOT
PIPE COATING ® was
applied at approximately 250 mils / ¼" DFT (Dry Film Thickness),
reducing operating temperature to 100° F (38 ° C), which exceeded expectations.
The
recommended coating system consists of:
Prime coat: HOT
PIPE COATING ® -
250 mils / ¼" DFT ( Dry Film Thickness )
Base coat: SUPERTHERM
® - 10 mils DFT
Top coat: ENAMO
GRIP WB ® - 3 mils DFT
