Robotic Technology: high-nobility alloy cladding on pipe internals

Transporting untreated wet gas poses significant corrosion risks to pipelines. The presence of corrosive contaminants such as H2S and CO2 in oil and gas pipelines can severely damage key pipeline assets such as finger slug catchers, flare lines, and wet gas pipes by the corrosion of carbon steel surfaces. This results in leaks, loss of containment, and costly unplanned shutdowns.

IGS Automated Metalspray® Pipe ID Cladding
By offering a no-man-entry, field-applied alloy upgrade for pipelines, slug catchers, and flare lines, this cutting-edge solution addresses the challenges of wet CO2 corrosion and internal corrosion in pipelines with unparalleled precision.
