Field Joint Coating 2014 | conference preview
Coating innovations Luc Perrad, manager of Polyguard representative ExParTech, will speak about the advantages of selecting non-shielding fi eld-applied coatings in terms of corrosion protection. While Caio Santo Mauro and Andre Koebsch, commercial manager and consultant respectively at Brazil-based Polikote, will detail a new polyurea hybrid joint coating material. Long term performance data covering applications
The development of a new solid polyurethane fi eld
joint coating material for application on subsea pipelines will be explained in a joint presentation given by Technip USA principal coatings engineer Roberto Del Callejo Vargas and Dow Chemical Services UK offshore coatings specialist Dave Parker. This will be followed by discussion of a novel solution for improved offshore pipeline fi eld joints given by Paul J Kleinen, vice president engineering and technology with Bredero Shaw in the US. Design, testing, certifi cation and validation are key
elements in the development of fi eld-applied coatings. Dr Philippe Thibaux, technical manager at OCAS in Belgium will present an analysis of design validation carried out on fi eld-applied spacers used in a natural gas transmission pipeline project. His presentation is co-authored with Florence Cochard, technical manager at Eupec Pipecoatings France, and Sylvain Cozzolino, study engineer at GRTGaz in France. Coating selection for fi eld joints on buried steel pipelines will be explored by Ali Fazlinejad, general manager of Tolerant Coating Co of Turkey, while Dr Amal Al-Borno, president of Canada’s Charter Coating Service (2000) will explain her “3-Rs” of fi eld joint coating – reality, repair and review. Specifi cation of pipeline coatings will be discussed by
Dinko Cudic, responsible for business development and offshore engineering at Stopaq Seal for Life Industries. His presentation will look at how design criteria can be brought in to the specifi cation development process. A case study of abrasion testing on a glass fi bre thrust bore coating will be presented by Tim Mally, senior project engineer at Citadel Technologies in the US.
for advanced three-ply tape coating systems will be discussed by Denso Germany director of sales pipelines international Michael Schad. And a composite pipe repair system proven to extend pipeline lifetime by up to 20 years will be detailed by Henkel market development manager for western Europe Bernd Hammer. Akzo Nobel Powder Coatings global RD&I technology manager Dr Volker Börschel will speak about the company’s latest developments in LAT fi eld joint powder coatings for fast application onto temperature sensitive steel pipe at the conference. The discussion on coating materials will be rounded off with a presentation on multi-component liquid coatings for external girth weld protection by Ian Robinson, division scientist electrical markets infra- structure at 3M UK, while Trenton Europe sales director Philibert de Bonnafos will speak about the use of wax-based tapes.
Application methods The fi nal session of the conference will look specifi cally at application of coatings in the fi eld. Canusa-CPS UK EAR business development manager Peter Boyce will open the session with a review of some of the latest advances in fi eld joint coating technology. Dr Sidney A Taylor, president of France-based Incal Pipeline Rehabilitation, will explain the role of fl ow rate control in liquid fi eld joint coating applications. Matthew Green, international sales manager at NRI in the US, will explore protection options to prevent fi eld joint coating failures and pull-back during horizontal direction drilling, while Plascoat Systems technical business development manager Thomas Bied-Charre- ton will explain some best practice examples for successful application of fl ame sprayed coatings.
