Energy Reduction Using Epoxy Coatings for Sealing Leaking Compressed Air Systems
Abstract
Air distribution pipeline leaks are common place at DoD intermediate and depot level maintenance facilities, and if resolved can improve system operational performance and reduce lifecycle energy costs. Facility managers in many cases can easily fix common aboveground leaks with conventional practices given adequate resources. However, some leaks are difficult and expensive to repair, particularly those in inaccessible locations where piping runs beneath slabs, roadways, etc. The project objectives were to validate epoxy coating technology as a means to seal leaks in these challenging circumstances. The technology was demonstrated on abandoned below slab steel pipeline located at Construction Equipment Department, Naval Base Ventura County, CA.
