IFC is a technology designed for the direct, in-situ application of high-performance internal coatings inside existing pipelines. By using nanotechnology-based composite coatings, the process creates covalent and ionic molecular bonds with the substrate, resulting in an ultra-smooth, durable, and extremely low-friction surface.
These performance levels cannot be achieved with traditional coatings and translate into a significant improvement in pipeline operational efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Improves flow and reduces internal friction
- Significant increase in pipeline efficiency, up to +50%
- Reduces energy consumption
- Effective on both new and existing pipelines
- Ideal for derated pipelines, increasing flow capacity at reduced operating pressures
- Stable performance under variable pressure and temperature conditions
- Excellent chemical and thermal resistance
- Fully compatible with ILI inspections and pig cleaning operations
