Oil is called “black gold” for a reason, but this nickname may still fall short of communicating the immeasurable value of oil and its derivatives. No other single substance is responsible for playing such a disproportionate role in our society as it has almost single-handedly powered the world to previously unimaginable heights of technological development. But oil has its drawbacks, namely in terms of the hazards posed by its chemical properties, which threaten to cause lasting damage to local ecosystems when uncontrollably introduced into the environment. That’s why reliable containment strategies are essential to the modern oil and gas industry, where new technologies offer to improve outcomes and mitigate risks in the event of an oil spill, including ArmorThane’s polyurea and polyurethane oil containment coatings. Our formulations are mechanically durable and chemically resistant and can be rapidly deployed anywhere they’re needed for better emergence response. They’re the ultimate all-purpose oil containment coatings built to perform in the challenging environments of the traditional energy sector.
Oil containment traditionally refers to the process of spill containment after an oil spill has already taken place. Our polyurea and polyurethane coatings extend that definition to encompass any and all surface protection measures that aid in oil’s safe storage, transportation, and emergency spill response. Here are some of the most important ways our technology can protect your world:
Secondary containment is the first line of defense in the event of primary containment failure. Its purpose is to prevent spills from proliferating into the environment by containing hazardous substances like oil within a designated area, which can be accomplished with polyurea and polyurethane because of their mechanical strength and chemical resistance. They’re sprayed onto containment systems like berms to resist chemical attacks and reinforce equipment in order to prevent small spills from having large consequences.
Tank linings provide protection before secondary containment has a chance to get involved. They’re used to protect and reinforce primary containers like industrial storage tanks with a seamless layer of chemically inert elastomer. This separates storage materials from coming into direct contact with corrosive substances like oil and thereby significantly reducing the risk of primary containment failure through internal damage. The better the primary containment the less we need to rely on limited backup systems and other costly redundancies.
Oil is always on the move and its preferred vehicle is the pipeline. The modern oil and gas industry has erected extensive pipeline networks that span countries and continents to deliver black gold wherever it needs to be. But these pipelines are fundamentally no different than the storage containers used for keeping oil in one place and are similarly susceptible to damage or degradation that threatens to repatriate oil back to Mother Earth. Spray elastomer technologies may be applied to the exterior of pipelines and other transport infrastructure to maintain their integrity and see oil arrive at its intended destination.
Like it or not, fossil fuels are here to stay for the foreseeable future even as renewable energy starts to take hold. But it’s not just about waiting around until one technology is ready to usurp another. So long as oil plays a role powering the world, every step should be taken to make its use safer and more sustainable, not least through better containment strategies. So if you’re ready to leverage the strength and versatility of our oil containment coatings it’s time to contact ArmorThane today.
