Corrosion Protection
We help your company increase uptime by providing industrial corrosion and abrasion-resistant liners for pipes, vessels, and other process equipment. We use thermoplastic resins and a process called rotational lining to create a long-lasting liner inside vessels and pipes with complex geometries, large diameters, and lengths up to 20’ which provides better protection against corrosion.
For over 30 years, we have served customers in chemical processing, mining and fracking, oil and gas, water handling, and desalination industries. We install thermoplastic liners in pipes, tanks, pressure vessels, scrubbers, fittings, pumps, valves, flowmeters, filter housings, heat exchangers, and other custom process equipment. We also specialize in industrial corrosion protection for electronic chemical applications, semiconductors, or other high purity uses.
Advantages of Rotational Lining For Corrosion Protection
Rotational lining protects equipment against mild abrasion and aggressive, corrosive materials such as acids (hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, nitric, sulfuric), caustics (sodium hydroxide), sulfides (hydrogen sulfide), halogens (chlorine, bromine), brine, and seawater.
| Advantages of Rotational Lining | Disadvantages of Rotational Lining |
|---|---|
| Complex parts are easily lined without access to internal surfaces | Complex internal components, such as large baffles, are difficult to line |
| Seamless liners eliminate failure-prone weld joints | Rotational lining is a shop process, which means the liner cannot be installed in the field |
| The liner has a mechanical bond, which eliminates the need for adhesives, thereby reducing the risk of disbonding of the liner | The size of equipment that can be lined is limited to the dimensions of the rotational lining oven |
| The high structural integrity of the part is maintained | |
| Easy to seal flanges with reduced risk of a leak in operation | |
| Operating temperatures allowed through the full temperature range of the chosen thermoplastic liner | |
| Durable thick liner (up to 0.50”**) offers abrasion protection, impact resistance, and corrosion protection against most chemicals | |
| Rotational lining creates liners that can withstand vacuum |
**Liner thickness varies for material and application
40% of Structural Failures in Oil & Gas Production are caused by
Microbiologically-Influenced Corrosion
(MIC)
Microbes, found in seawater, freshwater, soils, and fuels, deteriorate the material surface and cause stress cracking, a condition otherwise known as MIC. Protecting your pipeline with RMB BIO-ARMOR™ liner safeguards against both MIC and aqueous corrosion in brine and saltwater applications. RMB BIO-ARMOR™ is a rotationally-lined blend of antimicrobial powder and HDPE. This liner effectively eliminates over 99% of microbes.
