Knowledge-Based Firm in Iran Makes Technological Product to Prevent Decay in Pipes

“The product of this company is ‘anti-corrosion polyurethane coating and its nanocomposites’ which are used in pipes,” Haaleh Rassouli, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.

Noting that the anti-corrosion polyurethane coating is considered as a protective coating, she said, “This coating enjoys better physical and health properties compared to other coatings. Other companies used an epoxy intermediate coating, which led to decay in pipes, therefore, we tried to settle this problem by producing anti-corrosion polyurethane coating.”

“This new coating is used in all places where there is a possibility of corrosion, including shipbuilding, sea, complexes, factories and buildings. The advantage of this new coating compared to other coatings is its longevity and durability. The anti-corrosion polyurethane coating enjoys a 25% higher resistance compared to common epoxy coatings,” Rassouli said.

In a relevant development earlier this year, another knowledge-based company in Iran designed a device with high quality and different capabilities for hot tapping of oil pipelines to eliminate the need for imports.

“The device has a very sensitive function and its quality and efficiency should be at a high level for a successful operation and the Iran-made product is superior and more efficient than the foreign models,” said Reza Zolqader, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.

“The hot tapping device is used for branching from oil and gas pipelines without the need to stop the fluid flow in explosive conditions which is known as hot tapping operation,” he added.

“In the inner part of the hot tapping device, a retainer has been installed to restrain the end of the shaft and prevent the shaft of the hot tapping device from lagging. This function is very important,” Zolqadr said.
