The traditional meeting of Chief Mechanics of Refining and Petrochemical enterprises of Russia and the CIS in 2020 was held in an offline format on a closed forum platform in the period from December 01 to December 25, 2020.
The professional discussion reflected three major thematic trends:
- Import substitution in Refining. Reality and directions of development.
- Experience in implementing digital technologies (examples of best practices for improving the work of Chief Mechanics' services). The impact of digitalization on ensuring reliable and safe operation of equipment and the organization of repair work.
- Discussion of the state of the market and the quality of services provided by contractors for the installation and repair of equipment at the enterprises of the industry.
The Green Ray company's specialists presented to the attention of the Council of Chief Mechanics a report on the topic:
"Methods of corrosion protection of technological equipment and metal structures based on Russian technologies with automation of the corrosion rate control process"
The report was devoted to the domestic developed phosphating Cold Ph Tech composition, the use of which allows you to achieve the following effects:
- Continuous protection of metal’s surface against corrosion;
- Increasing the service life of finishing paint coatings by 1.5-2 times;
- Increasing the wear resistance of the surface;
- Increasing in surface hardness.
When using Cold Ph Tech for corrosion protection of technological equipment, namely pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers, furnaces, boilers, reactors, air heaters, refrigerators and other devices, it is possible to achieve:
- Reducing the rate of their corrosion;
- Continuity coating of anti-corrosion treatment of internal surfaces;
- Reducing the cost of process anti-corrosion reagent treatment of the equipment during it inter-repair run.
The Report covered the following issues:
- The value and importance of corrosion control;
- Features of corrosion of equipment of еру Refining and Petrochemical enterprises;
- Film-forming anti-corrosion agents;
- Cold phosphating technology using the Russian product Cold Ph Tech;
- Description and areas of Cold Ph Tech using;
- Tests, regulatory documents and permits for the Cold Ph Tech composition;
- Methods of application, technical characteristics and properties of the Cold Ph Tech composition and the film it forms on the metal surface;
- Achievable effects;
- Protection against external corrosion of load-bearing and enclosing structures at Refineries and Petrochemicals;
- Corrosion protection of the internal surfaces of the process equipment of Refineries and Petrochemicals;
- Scheme of anticorrosive treatment of internal surfaces of technological equipment;
- What benefits does the use of anti-corrosion treatment with Cold Ph Tech composition bring to the customers?
- Automatic corrosion rate control systems;
- Proposals for the organization of anti-corrosion measures.
