Cut your costs by 75% - How a little prevention can save a lot of money

Abstract

An introduction to cost benefits of the Enviropeel System, a system that uses a heating and pumping system to melt and spray a thermoplastic material in order to provide a corrosion-inhibiting protective coating around substrates of any size or shape. The material contains its own inhibitors, thus providing both passive and active protection for protected surfaces. As part of the development process, long-term testing of Enviropeel forms part of the DNV JIP Bolt Testing Programme, a programme which includes Conoco-Phillips and BP, at whose behest the tests were planned. First results after 18 months of the 10-year programme show very good results for Enviropeel. Case studies have shown from various areas around the world with a focus on the experience of the Enviropeel System in WA with BHP Billiton and Dampier Salt. Results over the past three to four years have been so spectacular, with projected lifecycles of equipment increased by a factor of 5, that the Enviropeel system has become standard practice due to the substantial cost savings.
