Boosting Pipe Performance in the Oil & Gas Industry with Devcon Brushable Ceramic

The Challenge: Slurry Buildup and Rising Maintenance Costs

In the oil and gas industry, efficiency and reliability are critical—especially when it comes to pipe maintenance. One oil & gas company was facing consistent issues with slurry buildup in their pipeline system. With no internal pipe coatings in place, the surfaces lacked the slickness necessary to prevent materials from adhering and accumulating over time. This led to significant delays, frequent pipe replacements, and rising maintenance costs.

Searching for a Long-Term Solution

The company sought a solution that would not only reduce slurry buildup but also offer ease of application and long-term value. After consulting with a local expert, they were recommended Devcon Brushable Ceramic, a high-performance wear-resistant coating.

Why Devcon Brushable Ceramic?

Devcon Brushable Ceramic is specifically engineered to protect equipment from abrasion, corrosion, and chemical attacks. It forms a smooth, low-friction surface that effectively minimizes material buildup—even in high-turbulence environments. Before applying the solution, the pipes underwent thorough cleaning and sandblasting to ensure optimal surface preparation.

The Results: Less Downtime, More Savings

Once applied and tested in the field, Devcon Brushable Ceramic delivered impressive results. The coating provided a durable, slick internal surface that dramatically reduced slurry accumulation. As a result, the company experienced fewer pipe failures, reduced unplanned downtime, and significantly cut their maintenance expenditures.

Return on Investment and Long-Term Reliability

Beyond the physical benefits, the use of Devcon Brushable Ceramic translated into a strong return on investment. The reduced need for frequent pipe replacements and downtime not only saved money but also enhanced operational reliability—a key factor in the company’s ongoing productivity.

Conclusion: The Power of Proactive Protection

This case underscores the value of selecting the right protective coating for industrial applications. With Devcon Brushable Ceramic, the oil & gas company not only solved their immediate slurry buildup problem but also set themselves up for longer-term efficiency and cost savings.

For companies facing similar issues in high-wear, corrosive environments, investing in an advanced coating like Devcon Brushable Ceramic can lead to major performance gains.
