Petrochemical
Industry

  • Extend asset life and manage integrity risk without compromising safety
  • High-temperature linings and composite pipe wrapping restore towers, vessels, and pipework in situ
  • Erosion and chemical protection for storage tanks and equipment handling aggressive media
The Challenge

In petrochemical plants, an undetected failure can become a safety and integrity event, and every repair must respect strict hot-work restrictions. Aggressive chemistry, high temperatures, and high pressures attack vessels, pipework, and structures relentlessly — and corrosion under insulation hides until it becomes a leak in a facility full of flammable and hazardous media.

Absorber and stripper towers, reactors, process vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and extensive pipework suffer high-temperature corrosion, chemical attack, erosion, and corrosion under insulation. Hot work is tightly controlled, and unplanned outages are extremely costly.

Belzona high-temperature repair composites, chemical-resistant linings, and reinforced pipe-wrap systems protect and rebuild petrochemical equipment in situ, without hot work. Rumford Industrial Group delivers these solutions with the technical support these demanding applications require.

Belzona Solutions for Petrochemical
Deterioration of Pipework
Pipework suffers leaks and loss of containment from erosion, corrosion, and corrosion under insulation, requiring surface-tolerant metal repair composites, ISO 24817/ASME PCC-2-compliant wrap systems, and fire-resistant insulation protection that restore strength without welding.
Corrosion Protection for Process Vessels
Absorber towers and strippers suffer chemical, erosion, and temperature-related degradation from aggressive stripping agents like MEA, MDEA, and sulfanol, requiring solvent-free epoxy linings that resist explosive decompression, steaming out, and bacterial and chemical attack while curing in service.
Storage Tank and Secondary Containment Area Repair and Protection
Storage tanks and containment areas suffer leaks, tank base moisture ingress, and chemical attack from deterioration and adverse weather, requiring fast-curing epoxy repair materials, microporous tank base membranes, and chemical-resistant coatings that eliminate hot work.
Repair Composites and Coatings for Heat Exchangers
Tube sheets, water boxes, division bars, and end covers suffer erosion and corrosion, along with galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, requiring solvent-free repair composites and coatings that provide long-term protection and electrical insulation.
