are applied using a high-effi cient airless spraying unit manufactured by Graco. CELER is now building on its joint protection expertise and expanding its product offering to include production of pre-fabricated process pipeline units with internal or full coating. The fi rst step in this was to manufac- ture special complex pipeline
connecting parts with anti-corrosion insulation, such as branch pipes with fl anges and welded weldolets for pressure or temperature gauges

Apart from the robot-aided
welding complex, high quality and capacity is also ensured by means of the company’s other equipment, which includes welding units (manufac-
tured in Finland, the USA and Sweden) and universal welding rotators.
The company uses two package semi-automatic
units for facing operations and small diameter sleeve manufacturing. These units were specifi cally designed and manufactured for CELER, a process that took two years. However, the end result has proved worthwhile as the application of these units enabled the production output of small sleeves (57 to 219 mm in diameter) to be increased from 150 to 500 units per day per semi- automatic unit. The CH-5-A mastic is used as part of CELER’s own CE joint protection system, but is also suitable as a lower cost alternative for sealing joints in pipe connec- tions made using the Butler mechanical pipe joining system. Supplying the mastic for use with the Butler system required development of an automated dosing system to increase production capacity and CELER is currently introducing two automated units for mastic dosing into its packing systems. CELER is equipped to use a variety of protective
coatings – including epoxy powder, liquid epoxy and polyurethane - which can be applied according to different procedures approved by the client or design engineer. All powder coatings are applied using the electrostatic method and high-effi ciency equipment supplied by Gema of Switzerland. CELER has, however, modifi ed the powder coating application unit using its own application expertise to achieve online control of powder weight for a specifi c part. This has allowed the company to achieve a high level of precision in applied coating thickness, which has a critical infl uence on the overall quality. Liquid epoxy and polyurethane paints

connected by branch pipes of a number of pipe-bends, T-joint reducers and similar parts.
The company now aims to be profi cient in manufacturing all products necessary for the assembly of a closed oil & gas gathering system of pipes, standard and special pipe fi ttings, support units and welding joint protection sleeves. It has completed orders for the manufacture of pre-fabri- cated pipeline units with internal corrosion-resistant protection, measuring and metering units, cleansing and diagnostic agent injection/receiving units, pump station manifolds and other process piping for fi eld and transit pipelines. It now considers this area to be the most promising in the fi eld of anti-corrosion protection of internally coated pipelines.
The most recent addition to the CELER capability
programme is the introduction of joint insulation technologies. The company now has expertise in the installation of foamed polyurethane heat insulating coatings inside a galvanised casing, which can be appied to all of its fi ttings and units. Looking forward, CELER aims to ensure it continues
to maintain its current pace of development by staying in touch with the most recent developments in order to provide an integrated approach to fi eld pipeline anti-corrosion protection and to manufacture the highest quality products. To that end, it takes inspira- tion from the English writer Lewis Carroll, who said: “It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
