Josh Price, president of Onyx Services in Texas, oversees the company’s work within the energy sector. Under Josh Price’s leadership, Onyx has become known for its corrosion protection services for land and underwater pipelines, including sandblasting, painting, and coating.
As more and more oil and gas moves through pipelines, proper coatings have become essential to stopping corrosion and preventing leaks and other failures. These coatings can be divided into five categories:
- Asphalt enamel coatings are the preferred protection for steel pipelines moving fluids at temperatures not exceeding 158 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Polyurethane coatings stand up well to acid rain, ultraviolet radiation, salt water, and inclement weather. They are often employed in both shallow and deep water.
- Three-layer polyethylene coatings adhere well to steel surfaces. Their strong protection against mechanical and chemical stresses and temperature changes make them ideal for land and water environments.
- Three-layer polypropylene coatings incorporate copolymer adhesives, which have superior bonding qualities. These coatings are meant for extreme conditions and high temperatures.
- Fusion-bonded epoxy powder coatings work well for both the pipeline’s interior and exterior surfaces. They protect against corrosion caused by electrochemical reactions between saltwater and metal.
