It suffered from serious sedimentation problems until it was completely covered, requiring constant plant stops both for cleaning and for replacing the pipes, thus influencing the costs and production time. Loma Fresca required a pipe that on one hand could withstand the high temperatures of the fluid and that at the same time have greater resistance to the incrustation versus the steel pipes.
