Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coated line pipes are extensively used across various industries due to their superior corrosion resistance, strong adhesion, mechanical strength, and durability. Here are the key applications of FBE coated line pipes:

Oil and Gas Industry

Transmission Pipelines

Onshore Pipelines: FBE coated pipes are used to transport crude oil, natural gas, and refined products over long distances. The coating protects the pipes from soil corrosion and mechanical damage.
Offshore Pipelines: Used for subsea pipelines, FBE coating provides excellent corrosion protection against seawater and harsh marine environments.

Flowlines and Gathering Lines

Field Pipelines: Smaller diameter pipelines that collect oil and gas from wells and transport them to processing facilities are often coated with FBE for corrosion resistance.

Field Joint Coating

Welded Joints: FBE coating is used on field joints of pipelines where sections are welded together. The coating ensures continuous corrosion protection across the entire length of the pipeline.

Water and Wastewater Industry

Potable Water Pipelines

Drinking Water Transport: FBE coated pipes are used in systems that carry potable water, ensuring the water remains free from contaminants and the pipes are protected from internal and external corrosion.
Sewage and Wastewater Pipelines
Wastewater Transport: These pipes are used in sewage and wastewater systems to resist corrosion from aggressive waste materials and environmental conditions.

Chemical and Petrochemical Industry

Process Pipelines

Chemical Transport: FBE coated pipes are ideal for transporting various chemicals in chemical plants, as the coating offers high resistance to chemical corrosion.
Petrochemical Facilities: These pipes are used in petrochemical plants where they encounter aggressive chemicals and high temperatures.

Marine and Offshore Applications

Subsea Pipelines

Offshore Oil and Gas: FBE coated pipes are used extensively in subsea pipelines due to their excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and mechanical stresses from underwater currents.

Risers and Flowlines

Offshore Platforms: Used for risers and flowlines that connect seabed pipelines to offshore platforms, ensuring durability and corrosion protection in harsh marine environments.

Infrastructure and Construction

Water Distribution Systems

Municipal Water Supply: FBE coated pipes are used in urban water distribution networks to ensure clean and safe water supply.
Industrial Water Systems: These pipes are also used in industrial facilities for transporting water for cooling and other processes.

Fire Protection Systems

Fire Mains: FBE coated pipes are used in fire protection systems due to their durability and reliability in maintaining water flow under high pressure.

Power Generation

Cooling Water Systems

Power Plants: FBE coated pipes are used in power plant cooling systems to transport water used for cooling turbines and other equipment, protecting the pipes from corrosion and high temperatures.

Mining and Slurry Applications

Slurry Pipelines

Mining Operations: FBE coated pipes are used in the mining industry to transport abrasive slurries, providing protection against wear and corrosion.

Renewable Energy

Geothermal Piping
