Solutions in the Oil & Gas Industry
Most of the oil refining processes such as distilling and cooking require high temperatures and pressures, which would not allow the use of thermoplastic piping systems. There are, however, several chemical applications that are used throughout the plant. For example, sodium hypochlorite is used to control microbial growth and sulfuric acid is used to adjust pH. These chemical applications are perfect for Asahi/America’s line of oil and gas industrial-grade thermoplastic piping systems and valves.
The hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” typically has on-site chemical treatment with hydrochloric acid, benzene, xylene and tolulene to name a few. Our Chem Proline® single wall pipe and Chem Prolok containment pipe has been successfully installed in these critical applications. This rugged pipe can handle not only the chemical abuse, but also the physical abuse typically found at these locations. Available with companion valves for the complete package.
