Dear Gülseren,
Our 6'' liquid ammonia pipeline is designed to work at 33 Celsius under zero at times when ammonia loaded ships come to the jetty and begin to discharge.Having faced severe corrosion problems on the surface of our liquid ammona pipeline, we decided to investigate what might be the reason of all these failures on the pipeline. Corrosion Under Insulation is a dangerous problem.Our former insulation layer and vapor barrier lost its technical feature sand former support types welded to pipeline were not appropriate to cold systems. We decided to use long term insulation materials on this pipeline and knew that on such a cold system, quality of vapor barrier has the most important role on this condition.Having changed support type,we began to use Foster/Temati products and now adays when we are applying these products,allToros personnel is aware of quality.
