P. T. Badak Pertamina<br />
Petrochemical Liquid Natural Gas Manufacturing<br />
Problem:<br />
Vessel <strong>and</strong> exchanger channels, valves <strong>and</strong> piping would receive extreme corrosive damage from the<br />
process of manufacturing liquid natural gas. Each manufacturing train would be completely refitted<br />
every 3 years. Equipment <strong>and</strong> machinery replacement would not only be cost prohibitive, but would<br />
cause realignment <strong>and</strong> fitting problems when reassembled.<br />
Solution:<br />
All repair <strong>and</strong> coating surfaces were s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Complete repair<br />
areas were chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. All corroded areas over 1/8” deep, were<br />
filled using Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty. Following a partial cure of Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty, (4 hours),<br />
Brushable Ceramic was applied to a thickness of 30 mils. Brushable Ceramic encapsulated the repair<br />
areas <strong>and</strong> provided a long lasting, low co-efficient to friction, chemical resistant protective coating.<br />
Following a partial cure of the first coat of Brushable Ceramic, (4 hours), a second coat of Brushable<br />
Ceramic was applied, again to a thickness of 30 mils. <strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair procedure is estimated to save<br />
hundreds of thous<strong>and</strong> of dollars annually.
