Overview

An offshore gas processing facility in Western Australia experienced localised internal erosion, resulting in a through-wall defect on the flanged interface of a GRE Seawater Header Line.
A live leak seal was installed with a flow diversion plate to ensure there was no loss of production through shutting down whist the engineered composite repair was applied.

Solution

• Technowrap™ 2K glass fibre was used which enables existing inspection systems to continue to being used
• Quick response with engineering completed and mobilization to site in a short timeframe
• Flow diversion used to ensure a dry surface throughout the duration of the repair

Benefits

• Shutdown not required maintaining production on the facility
• Valve handle remained operational
• Spool did not require replacement
