Enhanced recovery technologies have radically altered the supply chain for natural gas and crude from producers to end users. New supply is now feeding exports. Pipeline owners from gathering lines to port transfer terminals are challenged with balancing smart economic management, leveraging maximum capacity of older systems, of vulnerable ductile iron to steel, as they build new pipelines in increasingly harder-to-achieve right of ways. Strains on older pipelines, a series of industry mishaps and stricter government oversight are leading to the demand for improved risk management of older infrastructure.
Quest Inspar’s PipeArmor® polyurea liners provide owners the ability to shore up aged systems with a liner that is able to support the pressure, chemical and temperature ranges needed to sustain delivery of product as it arrests corrosion. The abrasion, temperature and chemically resistant properties of our liner are particularly suited to support higher pressure pipelines of NG, NGL as well as the caustic sulfurs of unprocessed crude.
Our robotic lining systems have the ability to line subterranean or elevated systems, and are self-contained rigs, which supports work in remote locations. Depending on lining apparatus for smaller diameter pipe, our robots can traverse vertical systems, step change different diameters as well as navigate 90° bends.
