More than 60 companies demonstrated professional equipment and corrosion materials and technologies at the exhibition-Congress «corrosion Protection” from 17 to 20 may in the new Congress-exhibition centre "Expoforum". In the business program caused by about 200 delegates from 50 regions of Russia, and also Belarus, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Armenia.
This year, its innovative products presented by such industry leaders as ‘CIT-E. S." “Pipeline systems and technologies”, ZAO “Khimservis" OOO «Energoremstroy” and a others. Special attention was paid to domestic developments and innovative solutions, able to fully localize production in Russia, surpassing foreign analogues. In particular, NGOs «Neftegazkomplekt-ECP” presented at the exhibition of the latest equipment for electrochemical protection (ECP) of pipelines: complex modular equipment with ECP subsystem remote corrosion monitoring. Company «Underground geolocation” brought innovative diagnostic system magnetic location «Orion-3M” which allows testing of corrosion protection systems and assessing the condition of insulation coatings underground metallic pipelines.
During the convention program hosted an international conference on topical issues of corrosion protection. The event was attended by first Deputy head of the Department of JSC «Gazprom» Sergei Alimov, head of Department of JSC «Gazprom Victor Alekseichuk, Executive Director of SRO «SOPKOR” Nikolai Petrov, as well as leaders of domestic enterprises for the production of electrochemical protection equipment and materials
anti-corrosive protection. The experts noted that the protection of metalloorganic from corrosion - one of the most important problems of energy companies to date. Corrosion leads not only to deadweight losses of metalloorganic, but also to the risks of premature exit from system of technological equipment for buildings. “This is a problem including the company «Gazprom», which brings together 171,2 thousand km of gas pipelines, compressor 250 pieces plants with a total capacity of 46.2 MW, 47 090 km of infield pipelines, UGS 22. Therefore, rationally organized defense against corrosion is now part of the mandatory measures to ensure safe reliable operation of transmission systems", - says head of corrosion protection of JSC «Gazprom» Victor Alekseichuk.
According to the participants of the conference, to reduce corrosion losses and reduce the cost of energy companies will allow the use of new high quality protective coatings, unification the equipment of electrochemical protection, guidance, remote monitoring systems, the expansion of applications of corrosion inhibitors.
In the course of International scientific-technical conference " Modern technologies, equipment and materials for anticorrosive protection of structures, technological equipment and pipeline” discussed the issues of security of objects of oil and gas complexes, the formation and development of new technologies, equipment, materials corrosion protection, quality assurance construction of systems of anti-corrosion
protection for future service, problems of formation of market protivomoroznyh services, training of qualified personnel and others.
On the use of insulating and protective coatings, corrosion inhibitors was discussed in section «Insulating and protective coatings, corrosion inhibitors”. According to the participants, increasing the effectiveness of corrosion protection systems is a priority of many companies. “every year we repair about 200 km of highways, - says Irina leschinskaya, the main specialist BID KTU JSC «Gazprom Stroytek Salavat". - According to our statistics the most the best option is to use a combined coating. Unfortunately, the main manufacturers of internal flow coatings-corrosion - foreign companies. But there are our achievements. Recently, “Gazprom Stroytek Salavat " presented its own development -
enamel «Apotek”. According to the test results, it showed even better results imported materials”.
New feature this year was the Center of business contacts in which we tested about 700 negotiations between producers, suppliers of equipment, materials and technologies for corrosion protection and buyers, including the largest factories-manufacturers: «Gazprom Transgaz”, OJSC “AK «Transneft”, OJSC ANK «Bashneft», JSC «Gazprom VNIIGAZ», , JSC «Technology center of shipbuilding and ship repair", JSC "Concern "NGO “Aurora” and others.
Exhibition «corrosion-protection” is the only event in Russia, focused on the major scientific, technical, economic and environmental problem - corrosion protection of metals and materials with the support of JSC «Gazprom», at participation Trading-industrial chamber of the Russian Federation and the Russian Union of Industrialists and entrepreneurs.
Organizer of the exhibition: Association for assistance in the implementation of innovative programmes in the field of corrosion protection and technical diagnostics «SOPKOR”, at participation Trading-industrial chamber of the Russian Federation and the Russian Union of Industrialists and entrepreneurs.
Partners of the exhibition: OOO «Center for innovative technology-E. With”, OJSC “giproniigaz”, LTD “Surgut perevalka" OOO "VAG».
