Live sealing and leak repair
In transport or process pipelines, fuel leaks occasionally occur due to internal and external corrosion in the pipe wall. PETROPIPE manufactures, sells and installs leak sealing bands for all diameters consisting of a sealing mechanism, Kevlar fabric bands, a viton pad (KIT). The KIT is very light weight (6KG) and can be installed by one person. This sealing band can control a leakage of up to 45 kg/cm2 of certain chemicals and all hydrocarbons. The KIT is composed of a locking hardware, Kevlar bands or webbing, a pad that is placed directly on the leak, a key for its closure, wedges for band adjustment, a protective mica for helmet, special gloves and a Tyvek one-size-fits-all suit. With this, any trained personnel can temporarily plug a leak and avoid potential danger to your personnel and facilities.

Storage tank dike protection
When the containment dikes of horizontal storage tanks containing aggressive chemicals or fuels are deteriorated by fractures or cracks, preventive and corrective maintenance is carried out by manual-mechanical means, performing a surface preparation with pressurized water jetting or dry or wet sandblasting, to remove old and poorly adhered material, repairing expansion joints by means of caulking and injection, profiling the deteriorated concrete, and then applying an antacid coating, finishing with the application of an ultraviolet resistant coating as a finish. Through this process, we restore the appearance, functionality, safety and integrity of the dikes for a proper containment function.
