Qualification of High Temperature FBE for Offshore Services

The demand for high temperature (≤150⁰C) protective coating systems for offshore service has proliferated due to the increase in high temperature pipelines developments in Asia Pacific and Gulf of Mexico regions. Three-layer Polypropylene and multi-layer coating systems are typically used as anti-corrosion coatings for offshore pipelines as they are capable of withstanding operating temperatures as high as 150⁰C and they are resistance to water and mechanical damage. Recently there is an increasing interest in using standalone fusion bonded epoxy coatings single or dual-layer systems for high temperature offshore services. However there is insufficient data available to determine the fitness of purpose for offshore HT environments. Different HT FBE were evaluated and this presentation discusses the performance of coating systems subjected to simulated service testing. In addition test results obtained from a 2-year thermal ageing programunder nitrogen environment will be reviewed and compared between standalone HT FBE and 3LPP coating systems. A qualification protocol will be introduced for HT coating systems for offshore pipelines.
