There was a need to conserve energy and prevent corrosion under insulation of an Ingersoll Rand gas compressor on one of the off-shore platforms. Furthermore, an important aspect of the project was to reduce operating temperatures 338°F (170°C) to 140°F (60°C) & 428°F (220°C) to 140°F (60°C) in order to prevent the staff from being exposed to unacceptable temperatures. The application needed to be done while the equipment remained fully in operation.

• With the use of Graco equipment the HOT PIPE COATING was applied by spray with a thickness of approximately 24mm-20mm wet to be between 18mm-15mm dry.
• RUST GRIP was then applied with a thickness of 203.2 micron wet to get to 101.6 micron dry.
• Finally ENAMO GRIP was applied with a thickness of approximately of 254 micron wet to get 127 micron dry.
