How RACI Offers Corrosion-Free Peace Of Mind Solutions In Pipeline Construction & Rehabilitation

Our primary goal at RACI is to transform the pipeline construction industry by providing sustainable and practical solutions to the day to day challenges that a pipeline owner encounters.

Oil and gas infrastructure includes pipelines, drilling platforms, refineries, terminals, processing plants, and storage facilities, the majority of which are massive and expensive industrial complexes found all over the world.?

The oil and gas pipelines are expected to cross ?USD 2,480.2 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4 percent from 2020 to 2027 as the economy grows sustainably and rapidly. This exposes the pipelines to a variety of risks. Corrosion is without a doubt the most significant challenge confronting the pipeline industry.

Corrosion is a global dilemma

According to a statistical report on natural gas pipeline accidents in Russia from 1980 to 2013, external corrosion-caused failure accounts for 33.0 percent of all accidents, while internal corrosion-caused failure accounts for 6.9 percent. Similarly, in the case of onshore gas transmission pipelines in the United States, a statistical analysis revealed that third-party interference, external corrosion, material failure, and internal corrosion caused more than 75% of pipeline accidents.

RACI provides effective solutions

This necessitates a long-term solution for improved transportation and sustainability. Through a variety of products such as End Seals, Casing Spacers and link seals RACI provides solutions at every stage of pipeline maintenance and rehabilitation.

Spacers are entirely constructed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE); metal components are not required for RACI products. Chemical corrosion, thermal shocks, and mechanical stresses in the pipeline are eliminated with our casing spacers (those that occur during the installation and then to keep the carrier pipe in position).

The end seals belonging to our range guarantee a clean and economical solution for sealing the recess between a carrier and casing in cased pipeline crossings. The material used is highly resistant to ageing and offers excellent mechanical strength. The highlight is that no heating is required unlike other solutions.?

Through these viable and user-friendly solutions, RACI has created a way out of the pipeline corrosion vortex. Our products have a wide range of applications in a variety of modes. We are especially known for upholding industry standards and going above and beyond to ensure a peaceful and quick installation.

Raci Plastics is now a division of Raci srl, producing spacers for global markets. RACI has been developing and manufacturing world-class spacers for oil/gas/water pipeline projects all over the world for over 40 years. In Milan, there is a cutting-edge manufacturing facility. Our primary goal has been to improve our product and maintain our position as a premier spacer manufacturer. To remain at the top, R&D investment has remained consistent.

We provide trenchless rehabilitation solutions for underground pipelines. It is a quick and low-cost method of repairing underground pipelines without excavating. Many pipelines run beneath roads or concrete layers, which is common in petrochemical complexes, airports, refineries, and water pipeline networks.

The Primus Line system is used for trenchless rehabilitation of pressure pipes carrying various medium such as oil, gas, drinking water, sewer, or chemicals.

It is a quick and cost-effective solution for repairing existing damaged pressure pipes. Lengths?up to 3 km can be inserted in a single pass. It is a tried and tested method that can navigate 45 degrees or even 90 degrees in the path, resulting in significant cost savings for the asset owner.
