Major NE Coast Oil Refinery Valve Box Headers 1
Date: April 2003
Location: North East USA
Industry: Oil And Gas/Refineries
Challenge
The problem here was a valve box header leak. The main cooling water header used to cool the poly-alky unit had developed a major leak. The pipe could not be repaired because the valves used to isolate the pipe leak were not functioning properly.
Solution
The Novocoat Team went in and performed an emergency pipe encapsulation using fiberglass mesh infused with SP2000R to abate the water heat. The poly unit was able to continue to operate at full power, eliminating the need to shut the unit down for pipe replacement.
The cost savings to the refinery were estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
