At Urals Alumina Plant, they wanted to renovate their carbon steel pipes in which they transport bauxite ore slurry at 95°C / 203°F. Every year these lines were suffering from sedimentation problems and it was necessary to clean them every three months, involving manpower and high costs. The client decided to replace the carbon steel pipes with Pexgol pipes. Thanks to it smooth inner surface, sedimentation is not a problem and as a consequence requires less maintenance.The Pexgol pipes have been checked annually and even after 4.5 years of use, the pipes have shown positive results. They don’t have to clean the pipes any more.
