The client needed to transport lime slurry, which is highly fouling due to the high temperatures and the liquid consistency. The lime slurry was transported at 100°C. The fouling caused a considerable diminution on the inside diameter of the former pipe, sometimes even closing it completely. Previously the client used to work with a rubber hose, but due to the extreme conditions, and the lack of a flat inside surface, it wasn’t enough to prevent the accumulation. The Solution - Golan provided 50 meters of Pexgol 90 mm pipe (3” – SDR 7.4). The installation was easy due to the one section pipe, that didn’t require joints. The client saved costs; formerly the rubber hose cost 6 times more than Pexgol. In the other hand, the MTBF was just two month.
