Keeping the World Flowing
Working with specialists enables oil & gas companies to refurbish their equipment in a cost-eff ective manner
Approaching and considering the selection of an appropriate coating for repair or refurbishment can be a somewhat daunting and complex task
due to the moderate transfer of heat to the powder particles and to the work piece.
IN-SITU REPAIRS Some repairs can also be carried out in-situ without signifi cant disassembly using the Sifco Process and Surface Technology’s oilfi eld equipment preservation service. T e Sifco Process is a method of electroplating localised areas on components without the use of an immersion tank. T ere are many benefi ts to choosing selective plating, including the ability to focus the plating onto specifi c areas of a component, enabling parts to be plated in-situ, helping to minimise downtime and production delays. In contrast to tank plating, the Sifco
Process does not require extensive masking or special fi xtures to plate the component. Deposits can be plated at rates that are 30 to 60 times faster than conventional tank plating. T e benefi t of having a complete
approach to coating solutions is that customers can be assured that the correct solution will be specifi ed through dedicated technical expertise. ●
