The operability of key infrastructures can be threatened by environmental factors and adversities of the terrain. At the PEMEX facility, Nanchital Tuzandepetl, we faced a crucial challenge in protecting an essential pipeline located under a dam, crucial for the delivery of a powerful XNUMX horsepower pump.

The Challenge: Corrosion Due to Brine

This infrastructure has been subjected to the aggressive conditions of brine, a highly corrosive solution. With 20 years of continuous service, and its underwater situation, corrosion has been exacerbated, putting both the integrity of the pipeline and the efficiency of the pump at risk. In addition, its proximity to the dam imposed restrictions on us in terms of intervention.

SIESA®'s Answer: Protective Barrier with Vinylester Epoxy Resin

Our proposal at SIESA® focused on applying an internal coating of vinylester epoxy resin 1/8 thick. Known for its strength and durability in corrosive environments, this resin provides comprehensive pipeline protection, mitigating brine damage and ensuring extended service life.

Beyond its effectiveness, the choice of this coating is due to its ability to be applied from inside the pipeline, without compromising the surrounding dam structure and guaranteeing operational continuity.

Conclusion: Innovation and Durability by SIESA®

At SIESA®, our mission is to provide cutting-edge and efficient solutions to complex challenges. With the implementation of this coating, we not only solve an imminent problem, but also anticipate future adversities, ensuring the operation of the PEMEX facilities in Nanchital Tuzandepetl for many more years.
