PROBLEM

Statoil was expanding the Kårstø plant. During the expansion, Presserv was given the total responsibility for preservation. This included engineering the preservation program, supplying the products, as well as applying and maintaining the program.

APPLICATION

1. Cortec Emitters VpCI®-101, VpCI®-110 and VpCI®-150 were installed in electrical enclosures located in corrosive environment.
2. Cortec VpCI®-323 was used as an oil additive in gearboxes and in pump transmissions.
3. Cortec VpCI®-368 and VpCI®-369 was sprayed on painted and machined surfaces as additional protection.
4. Cortec VpCI®-423 was sprayed on corroded stainless steel surfaces and washed off by Cortec VpCI®-416 and water.
5. Cortec VpCI®-609 was fogged in vessels and pipe systems at a typical dosage 0.5 kg per cubic meter. VpCI®-609 was also added at a dosage of 2-3% to water used for hydrotesting of carbon steel pipe systems.

REASON CORTEC SELECTED
• Preservation contractor, Presserv, described preservation methods and which products to use on the project.
• Cortec was the only company able to provide environmentally sound products with a broad spectrum of applications.
• One stop ‘Total Corrosion Protection’ solution concept made it simple for customer to deal with only one vendor.
• Cortec’s past success with similar applications and projects.
