A refinery aims to implement a new, more environmentally friendly cooking process, which is expected to result in increased corrosion and erosion in reactors, columns, and vis-breakers. The Uddcomb Method is developed for this particular purpose and have been used worldwide for corrosion and erosion protection of assets like reactors, columns and pressure vessels for more than 30 years.
Uddcomb provide a comprehensive metallurgical upgrade using automatic overlay welding to protect all surfaces in contact with the corrosive media. This included in situ overlay welding of nozzles with diameters as small as 45 mm, utilizing Uddcomb's advanced robot-based welding technology.
The metallurgical upgrade ensure enhanced corrosion and erosion resistance for the refinery's reactors, pressure vessels, and columns. This solution will enable the refinery to adopt the new process without compromising equipment integrity, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and improved operational efficiency.
