Moa Nickel used to transport leached slurry from the tubular reactors to the CCD thickener feed line. This process caused several issues on different pipe materials. Previously, titanium Sch20 pipes were installed, but suffered deformations and high maintenance. The titanium pipe was replaced for a stainless steel pipe 316 Sch40, and it lasted 8 years and it finally required to be replaced because it presented wear issues.The Solution - Golan provided 11.8 meters of pipes sections with mechanical joins that could resist corrosion, high temperatures and wear with no effort. Regarding the prices per meter, installation costs and maintenance, versus stainless steel and titanium pipes, Pexgol proved to be the most convenient option.
