The oil and gas industry often presents an array of unique challenges and when it comes to coatings, there’s absolutely no room for compromise. MAN Industries offer a wide range of external coating solutions to fulfil customers need from anti-corrosion protection and negative buoyancy requirement and internal coating solution to provide flow efficiency and corrosion protection for natural gas, water and production pipelines.
We offer external coatings and internal linings that reliably and durably protect steel pipes against corrosion and mechanical impact in difficult terrain, harsh environments and extremely aggressive media.
Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (FBE) / Dual layer Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating is a high-performance anti-corrosion coating that provides excellent protection for small and large diameter pipelines . The First layer of this coating type serves mainly for corrosion protection, while the second layer serves as mechanical protection in the case of increased external loads. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) is produced according to ISO21809, CSA Z245.20,
MAN industries is the world’s leading provider of 3-layer polyethylene/polypropylene systems (3LPE/3LPP), a multilayer coating composed of three functional components: a high-performance fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE), followed by a copolymer adhesive and an outer layer of polyethylene/polypropylene, which provides tough, durable protection. The 3LPE offers pipeline protection when temperatures are between -40°C / -104°F and 85°C/185°F, while the 3LPP is recommended for temperatures between -20°C / -68°F and 110°C/230°F.
We offer variety of coating options that protect internal Pipe surfaces from the effects of corrosion and erosion, as well as reducing friction and turbulence in order to increase flow efficiency. The coating also acts as protection while in storage and during transportation. The thickness of internal coating varies from 70 micron to 1000 microns
An epoxy flow lining is applied as a thin layer to pipes intended for the transportation of gases. Its purpose is to provide for a smooth pipe inside surface with minimum friction for the medium to be transported. This means the flow rate is improved and energy requirements are reduced.
Epoxy-lined pipes facilitate visual inspection and pig passage. The flow lining also acts as corrosion protection during pipe storage.
Epoxy lining is applied in accordance with API RP 5L2 or EN 10311 to a thickness of about 80 μm.
Pipes are coated with two-component, solvent free, high-build epoxy to provide corrosion protection for the internal surface of steel pipes. Various material options are available for applications including potable and field water, process water, sewage, salt water, wastewater, crude oil and white oils.
Solvent Free Epoxy lining is applied to a thickness of about 406 μm.
Concrete weight coating provides reliable negative buoyancy as well as protection from harsh environments and mechanical damage that can occur—to both the pipe and its anti corrosion coating—during handling, transportation and pipe installation. The concrete weight Coating is used for
A concrete pipe coating can be applied over anti-corrosion coating and applied in different densities to meet each project’s unique needs. Their excellent compression resistance meets the most stringent international specifications.
The concrete is prepared in an automated batching plant using aggregates (e.g., sand, iron ore), cement and water. The mix is applied on the pipe by impingement while one or more reinforcing wire meshes are incorporated, depending on the required coating thickness
