Effective CUI mitigation in LNG applications
Insulation around pipes and other equipment is critical to maintaining process efficiency and safeguarding workers at LNG plants. However, insulation can be challenging, specifically corrosion under insulation (CUI) can cause further complexities, resulting in silent but significant problems at many LNG plants.
This whitepaper delves into our latest innovation: CR-Tech® corrosion-resistant technology. Embedded into ROCKWOOL ProRox® PS965 stone wool insulating pipe sections, the CR-Tech inhibitor activates upon contact with water, forming a protective, thin film on the steel surface and helps shield the pipe from corrosive fluids.
CR-Tech technology has been recognised for its substantial potential to mitigate CUI. Materials Performance Magazine presented it with the prestigious MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year award, choosing ProRox PS965 with CR-Tech as one of a select few winners for its ability to deliver:
- Superior water repellency and long-lasting corrosion inhibition.
- Proven performance and risk mitigation.
- Increased uptime and improved plant performance.
