Surface treatement

In order to keep-up to date with the new technologies, and to improve its products quality, SOCOMENIN Company has established three new blasting shops using metallic girt with 300 000 m²/year capacity.

 

The three blasting shops are built according to international standard specifications for on-shore and off-shore use, and respecting the specific conditions of both humidity which could be controlled and salinity that could be fixed down to 3µg/cm².

 

The painting activity is done in 6 conditioned buildings according to the international standards and paint manufacturer’s specifi- cations for onshore and offshore use. Specific conditions, such as humidity and temperature are closely controlled.

These buildings are equipped with air heater generators used in the winter.

 

RUBBER LINING ACTIVITY

SOCOMENIN    have     successfully    protected such equipment by rubber  lining  as Filters for water treatment unit, chemical processing  and storage  tank.  Rubber  lining  is  used  to  protect metal  surfaces   from  corrosion   fluid.   Like  in piping   handling   Sea   Water    or   chemical product.
