Knowledge-Based Company Produces Composite Wrap for Pipeline Flaws

A knowledge-based company, based in Fars Province, has produced a special composite wrap to repair old oil, water and gas pipelines without taking them out of service, a member of the board of directors at Faratec Novin Parseh knowledge-based firm, a subsidiary of Farassan Manufacturing and Industrial Company, said.
“The new fiber-reinforced polymer composite is a permanent, cost-effective pipeline repair technology, suitable for defects such as pits, dents, gouges and external corrosion,” Ali Elhamian told ISNA.
The FRP composite can extend the lifespan of pipelines to 50 years, he added.
