Polyethylene Pipe Solution - Liner Pipeline Rehabilitation, Coating and Corrosion

Pipelines are constantly degraded over time by chemical and biological processes, and physical abrasion. To prevent pipeline leakage and costly environmental damage, pipeline owners and operators must replace compromised steel pipelines or rehabilitate them by installing a polyethylene pipeline liner or intervene with some other type of pipeline rehabilitation.  A trenchless technology solution, such as polyethylene liner installation is usually preferred because excavation of the entire pipeline or wholesale replacement of the entire pipeline is prohibitively expensive and is usually inferior to simply lining the pipeline with polyethylene.  

The most cost effective pipeline corrosion prevention or rehabilitation method is usually achieved through the installation of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) liner. The installation of an HDPE liner not only reduces pipeline corrosion and erosion, it also reduces pipeline friction, allowing for lower operating pressures, and reduced operating costs.

HEBNA utilizes HDPE liners ranging in size from 2" to 52" in diameter. HDPE liners are suitable for the transportation of the following: crude oil, potable and non-potable water, effluent, sewer water, slurry, wet gas, and C0₂. HDPE liners can be used for most fluids and gases up to 82°C.
