Pipeline Coatings

Pineline Coatings

Treated Pipes with CoatingChemline has been around since 1997 and began by formulating and manufacturing high-performance polyurethane coatings for steel storage tanks. Although it first rented its warehouse and laboratory space, it now occupies and owns a 140,000 square foot facility. Chemline also purchased the Steelcote Manufacturing Company in the process. Today, it sells Steelcote products in addition to its own.

Today, when customers think of Chemline, they think of superior pipeline coatings for corrosion protection. Depending on the application, coatings can be applied above or below the ditch, or in extreme heat or bitter cold. It can also be factory applied, depending on the product specifications that are necessary. Its technology uses the most advanced anti-corrosion pipeline coatings available for the applications at hand, whether they are for the coal slurry industries, oil, gas, water or waste water.

Benefits of Chemline’s Pipeline Coatings and Epoxy Coatings:

  1. Greater flow rate leads to greater productivity
    Chemline's pipeline coatings and epoxy coatings benefits are significant, both because they minimize deposits within the pipeline and reduce corrosion, and because they increase flow capacity. Specifically, smoother pipe surfaces internally lead to increased flow capacity under high pressure, significantly more so than if the pipe is uncoated. This is beneficial economically, because a faster flow rate means greater productivity, thus increasing company profits over and above the cost of the coatings themselves.
  2. Pumping and Compressor Stations Reduce Energy Costs
    Because pipeline coatings and epoxy coatings increase internal flow rate, this also reduces the workload for pumping and compressor stations. This results in a remarkable reduction in pumping or compression costs over a pipeline's lifetime, which in turn can provide substantial savings, usually within three to five years of first utilization. Further, it's also sometimes possible to save even more money by reducing the number of compressor stations needed, as well as compressor size and capacity.
  3. Pipe protection against corrosion
    In addition, Chemline's pipeline coatings and epoxy coatings protect pipes against corrosion, and its advanced technology means increased productivity and savings for companies who use its products. When a pipeline is protected against corrosion, of course it means a longer life for the pipeline itself. This means it doesn't need to be replaced as often, which increases profits because operational costs are lower.

In addition to savings and replacement costs, there's also the matter of the downtime required to repair or replace pipelines that have been damaged by corrosion. Because corrosion happens at a much slower rate due to Chemline's pipeline coatings and epoxy coatings protection, companies who use its products experience much less downtime because pipelines need to be repaired or replaced much less. This also increases company’s productivity and overall profits.
