Industrial Nanotech Announces Development of Coating for Undersea Oil and Gas Pipelines
NAPLES, Fla., Jul 18, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, announced today that
it has developed a thermally insulating, corrosion resistant coating for use on
underwater oil and gas pipelines.
"The
newest addition to our patented line of nanotechnology based coatings,
'Nansulate Aqua', fills a critical need in the oil and gas industry,"
states Francesca Crolley, VP of Operations and Marketing for Industrial
Nanotech. "The world's demand for energy is increasing rapidly, forcing
new methods of accessing fuel sources. In the North Sea, natural gas
emerges from the ocean floor at depth of over 2 miles at a temperature
of 203 degrees Fahrenheit and must be kept as warm as possible as it is
transported through the freezing North Sea to avoid a buildup of
hydrates and the resulting potential blockage of the pipeline. Off the
coast of California, oil from tankers is offloaded at pumping stations
and transported through underwater pipes to holding tanks onshore.
Maintaining an adequately high temperature during transport under the
Pacific is critical to maintaining sufficient volume flow. This type of
problem faces the oil natural gas industry worldwide and we provide an
innovative, easy-to-use, cost efficient solution."
Nansulate Aqua is
available immediately to commercial customers and the formulations can
be customized to suit the specific needs, application parameters, and
environmental conditions of a specific project.
