| PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION |
| SureFlo® FEC is a thin film
epoxy coating applied in natural gas pipelines to smooth
the internal pipe surface for improved flow. |
| FEATURES
AND BENEFITS |
Ultra
Smooth Finish
The application of SureFlo® FEC replaces the internal
rough surface of a steel pipe with a smooth surface finish.
This results in a reduction in friction and turbulence
which increases flow efficiency. This may allow for the
use of a smaller diameter pipe or lower compression requirements
resulting in reduced capital and operating costs respectively.
Improved Internal Surface Cleanliness
After application of SureFlo® FEC, the clean internal
surface of the pipe provides corrosion protection prior
to installation and allows for easier visual inspection.
In addition, the cleaner surface reduces the cost and
effort of drying the pipe after hydrostatic testing.
Global Availability
Bredero Shaw has a network of 27 coating plants strategically
located across 6 continents to minimize pipe transportation
costs. SureFlo® can be manufactured in a single plant
or in multiple coating plants to improve project logistics.
High capacity within the Bredero Shaw plant network allows
the client to benefit from single source advantages, ultimately
providing more cost effective management of pipe coating
needs. |
