Improving Oil and Gas Production infrastructure and equipment durability with active thermal sprayed coatings

摘要

Ferrum corrumpitur, is a phrase from the great Roman Philosopher Pliny who lived 23 –79 AD. Rust, the corrosion product from Iron is as old as our planet. Corrosion is a natural process capable of degrading man made structural steel components, like used in oil and gas production systems, in the shortest possible time. In order to preserve these structures, the thermal spray technology contributes to extend the service life.
