Dear Gülseren,
Our 6'' liquid ammonia pipeline is designed to work at 33 Celsius underzero at times when ammonia loaded ships come to the jetty and begin todischarge.Having faced severe corrosion problems on the surface of ourliquid ammona pipeline,we decided to investigate what might be thereason of all these failures on the pipeline. Corrosion under insulation isa dangerous problem.Our former insulation layer and vapor barrier lost its technical featuresand former support types welded to pipeline were not appropriate to coldsystems. We decided to use long term insulation materials on this pipeline and knewthat on such a cold system, quality of vapor barrier has the most importantrole on this condition.Having changed support type,we began to useFoster/Temati products and nowadays when we are applying these products,allToros personnel is aware of quality.
