NEMO can be used for coating all subsea equipment, including jumpers

Custom coating for high-temperature subsea operations

Assurance model of integrated services for offshore pipeline coating. All three types of subsea flow assurance coatings, including line pipe, field joint and custom coating, are now available for use from wellhead to platform. The company states that Complete Coating Assurance creates a coating system that reduces schedule risk, performs at depth for decades, and reduces risk throughout the life of the pipeline.

up to 120°C, with tests on-going for 130°C and 140°C. NEMO 1.1 is an epoxy-urethane hybrid suitable for low- pressure casting applications. It overcomes the problems associated with traditional PU systems, and can be used up to a maximum continuous operating temperature of 95°C. NEMO 2.1 also has speed and demould times similar to PU and can handle continuous operation up to 120°C.

Bredero Shaw has developed a new custom coating product designed to be used for subsea pipeline components and equipment used in high- temperature, high-pressure situations. The new product – network epoxy modified olefin (NEMO) – answers the need for a coating material to be used on irregularly shaped parts of subsea production systems such as bends, spools, terminations (PLETS), jumpers and goosenecks. The range includes NEMO 1.1 and NEMO 2.1, and has been successfully tested on applications
