Ceramic Polymer Offshore-Coatings: Protection of riser pipes for oil platforms!

China, Beibu Gulf: Various riser pipes and several water injection pipelines for oil platforms were coated externally with the protection system CERAMIC-POLYMER SF/LF-SRB. The outstanding physical properties - particularly the excellent sea water resistance - were essential for the choice of this coating product.

Project No. 1: External coating of numerous riser pipes, 5 jackets -
for connected wellhead platforms WZ 12-2 and WZ 11-4, Beibu Gulf, China

Several riser pipes for the extraction of crude oil were coated externally with the product CERAMIC-POLYMER SF/LF-SRB. After preparation (SA 2.5) the coating was applied in a total thickness of 600 µm (24 mils) by airless spraying method.

CERAMIC-POLYMER SF/LF-SRB provides long-term corrosion protection in aggressive offshore environments. The coating product passed the test series according to ISO 20340 successfully and the relevant corrosivity categories for the offshore industry (DIN EN ISO 12944-2 – classes C5-M and IM1-3) are also completely satisfied.

Technical Data:
Owner: CNOOC Ltd. /China
Diameter of the pipes: DN250 up to DN 400
Temperature of the crude oil: approx. 80°C (176°F)
Product Requirements: long-term resistances against weathering,
UV-radiation, salt water and abrasion

Project No. 2: External coating of several water injection pipelines for platform WZ-12-1,
Weizhou Island, Beibu Gulf, China

The casings for the water injection pipelines of the platform WZ-12-1 were coated externally with the reliable product CERAMIC-POLYMER SF/LF-SRB. The coating was easily applied in 2 layers of 500 µm (20 mils) each by airless spraying.

Technical Details:
Owner: CNOOC Ltd./China
Diameter of the pipes: DN200 up to DN 450
Length of each pipeline: 41 m (from EL -30m to EL +11m)
Product Requirements: long-term resistances against weathering, UV-radiation, salt water and abrasion

The Ceramic Polymer GmbH produces high-quality, solvent-free protective coatings for different kinds of industries. Due to the integration of microscopic ceramic and other special particles, coating systems with outstanding physical properties such as excellent chemical resistances, high temperature stabilities and extreme abrasion resistances are generated.
The Ceramic Polymer coatings are applied directly on the blasted substrate (e.g. steel, stainless steel, concrete) without the previous use of a primer. In this way extreme adhesion is achieved.
The scopes of the Ceramic Polymer coatings are for instance all kinds of storage tanks, pipelines or process vessels for the oil & gas industry as well as different maritime constructions, waste water or drinking water applications.
