New process vessels were required as part of the Rumaila field expansion, including 10 desalters, 10 dehydrators and 20 degassers.

Produced from carbon steel, additional corrosion protection inside these vessels was a must. Inconel 625 cladding was first considered for protecting newbuild vessels as a familiar option. However, the client wanted to reduce capital investment cost without compromising on quality. They wanted a reliable vessel lining solution, which could be delivered in any part of world.

VESSEL LINING SOLUTION FOR RUMAILA
For these 40 newbuild vessels, Belzona lining was ultimately found to be the most cost-effective corrosion protection solution. Based on the temperatures, pressures, type of media and preferred application method (hand-applied), Belzona 1391T was chosen alongside inserts manufactured from Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) for small bore nozzle protection. More than 870 nozzle inserts were required.

APPLICATION FACTS
• Using Belzona vessel lining instead of Inconel 625 cladding helped the client save 65% of their investment on this major project phase.
• In total, 25 tonnes of Belzona 1391T were used.
• The application was completed in accordance with Belzona International standards and fully inspected by Belzona-certified inspectors.
