The best solutions for the petro-chemical industries
Within the petro-chemical industries there is an increasing need for ever more complex piping networks to transfer substances between plants or between supply and redistribution centres. Moreover there is often pressure to install these networks as quickly as possible and at as little cost as possible, especially in the current economic climate.
Given the hazardous nature of the substances transported by the petro-chemical industries this combination of complexity, speed and economy could, in the wrong hands, be a potential recipe for disaster.
A reputable supplier should have an extremely versatile range of pipe fittings available, including angled, or ‘elbow’, fittings; ‘reducers’, enabling different sizes of pipes to be connected without affecting transfer speeds; and ‘tees’ which permit branching connections.
Of particular benefit to the petro-chemical industries has been the use of duplex and super duplex steel. These specialist alloys have strong anti-corrosive qualities. Super duplex steel has the particular advantage of increased resistance to pitting, a particularly challenging form of corrosion for the petrochemical industries which often have difficulty in identifying the relatively small areas along a pipe that are affected. Duplex and super duplex steel are also strong, durable and resistant to extremely high temperatures.
Where duplex and super duplex really win hands down however is in their relatively low cost when compared with other forms of steel alloy offering similar corrosion resistance and strength.
