Introduction
Offshore oil and gas pipelines are constantly exposed to harsh marine environments. Saltwater, humidity, and temperature changes accelerate corrosion, leading to rust, scale, and coating failure. To ensure long-term durability and safety, pipeline contractors must achieve a high degree of surface cleanliness before applying protective coatings. In this case study, we highlight how Xỉ đồng mài mòn supplied by Chất mài mòn Lianshun helped deliver excellent blasting results in an offshore pipeline maintenance project.
Challenges in Offshore Pipeline Sandblasting
Offshore oil and gas pipelines face harsh marine environments. As a result, saltwater, humidity, and temperature changes corrode the pipelines quickly. Because of this, contractors must clean the surface thoroughly before they apply protective coatings.
Problems with Traditional Abrasives
Traditional sandblasting abrasives created excessive dust, reduced visibility, and slowed down progress. In addition, high dust levels increased health risks for operators and required extra cleanup. Moreover, contractors had to spend more time and money handling waste.
Why Contractors Chose Copper Slag Blasting Case Study Solution
Contractors selected Lianshun’s Copper Slag Sandblasting Abrasive for this project. Furthermore, its angular particle shape and low free silica content (<1%) allowed them to cut rust aggressively and work safely.
According to [ISO 11126-3 standards], copper slag blasting abrasives must meet strict international requirements for safety and performance.
Key benefits they experienced:
Fast Rust Removal: Angular grains cut through heavy corrosion.
Low Dust Emissions: Copper slag abrasive reduced airborne particles.
Consistent Surface Profile: The blasting process achieved SA 2.5–3 standards.
Cost Efficiency: Contractors recycled the abrasive multiple times and lowered costs.
