Internal coating of slug catcher pipelines for the extraction of natural gas

During the extraction process, natural gas is very humid and therefore highly corrosive. Due to the high pressure and absorbed stones, extreme abrasion occurs on the internal walls of the whole pipeline system.

Moreover, the elevated temperature of the gas and the aggressiveness of the containing hydrogen sulfide demand an absolutely premium and resistant coating system for the internal lining of the gas conveyor plant. Our coating „Proguard CN-1M-LV3“ provides reliable and long-term protection against corrosion and abrasion.

Technical data:

Pressure of the gas: 86 up to 129 bar

Temperature of the gas: 55°C up to110°C

The conveying pipe extends in 12 pipelines in parallel, each with a diameter of 48 inch (1,22 m) and a length of 60 m.

The internal coating of the huge slug catcher was conducted with our high-solid-product Proguard CN-1M-LV3. This system shows a high mechanical hardness and an excellent chemical resistance against the hydrogen sulfide, which is contained in the natural gas.
