Glass-reinforced Epoxy (GRE) lining, is a fiberglass lining, is installed to provide a corrosion barrier to protect the steel tubing from internal corrosion. Internal line pipe, Casing, and tabular coating are widely used in varieties of environments.
GRE improves pipe integrity management by providing maximum corrosion protection, increase flow assurance, and improve hydraulic efficiency. GRE lining system specifically developed for the tabular, which was in a most extremely corrosive environment, tabular provide the axial tensile strength. This GRE lining can replace the traditional single steel tabular and expensive alloyed steel tabular. The protective lining in tanks would consist of a membrane followed by acid proof tile lining. The function of the membrane is to prevent the parent surface from being attacked by a corrosive substance that can accidentally pass through the tile joints. The true chemical resistant lining is the impervious membrane and is selected for its resistance to chemicals present in the equipment at the maximum strength and temperature. By combining the reaction resins with fiber materials, the mechanical properties of resin systems are vastly improved.
